Hello P1D Families,

It is lovely to have met you during Parent Consultation Evenings and have the opportunity to share with you how wonderful and clever your children are. Below are some pictures of what we have been getting up to lately in our classroom.

As the season of Autumn continues to unveil itself with beautiful oranges, browns and reds, we decided to take a walk through those leaves and brought some back into class for rubbings to accompany our ‘Thank you God for Autumn’ prayers. We were amazed to watch the shape and detail of the leaves appear before our eyes during the rubbings exercise. How wondrous is God’s creation!

We have been further exploring patterns in class also during Maths with making bunting for Elmer’s party. The children’s colouring skills have improved so much since the start of P1. We have also been learning Time. The children were able to confidently list the different places they have noticed clocks before such as wall clocks, watches, ipads, mobile phones etc and discovered that face clocks have 2 hands of a different length. We made our own face clocks and when we return after the holidays we are going to learn how to read ‘o’clock’! We are very excited about this.

We enjoyed tasting jelly for our ‘j’ sound and watched it wobble! Mrs McEwan wanted to taste some but we told her it was just for the P1s. Sorry Mrs McEwan!

We are getting better at reading and writing our sounds and numbers and enjoyed looking at examples of our super writing in our Learner Journeys that we knew the mums and dad were going to be looking at during Parent Meetings.
