Primary 1 have been settling in well to school routines over the past 2 weeks. The children are enjoying getting to know their new classroom and the wider school environment and are making lots of new friends in their class.
Last week primary 1 began learning phonic sounds s, a, t and p. The children have learnt how to say each sound and how to form each letter. Some pupils can also spot the sound within short words, very impressive! This week each child should receive sound cards for s, a, t and p home in their homework folder to practise at home.
In maths, primary 1 have been focusing on numbers 1, 2 and 3. The children’s counting is very good and so we are focusing on number formations. The homework task for maths this week is to practice writing 1, 2 and 3.
This week primary 1 will be continuing to learn more sounds and numbers. We will also be completing a display on how to be healthy to go up in the hall. This forms part of the government’s Getting It Right For Every Child initiative, and each stage is focusing on a different aspect of SHANARRI ( safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included) in the PSD fortnight.
Reminders: PE is on a Monday for all classes, please can the children bring navy shorts and a white T-shirt.
Homework will be issued on a Monday to be returned by Friday. Please can children bring their homework folder in every day as they are used in classroom activities.
Please ensure that your child comes to school with labelled gym rubbers/ inside shoes, a water bottle and snack.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Miss Christy, Mrs Oliver and Mrs Muir
