It has been a busy and fun week in Primary 1.  What have we been doing ?

Literacy

E and ck were the two sounds that we learnt this week.  We found it really cool that two letters can appear in words but only make one sound ! We continued to use our sounds to read and write words and are doing well.  We especially enjoy our writing lesson each Thursday. This week we spoke about the beauty of Autumn and drew a lovely Autumn picture in our jotters.  Our illustrations are really coming along.  We are trying hard to add details to our pictures and choose sensible colours to colour in.

Numeracy

We have been learning to use our pencil to count groups of objects on a page.  If we remember to do this we will never lose our place when counting and always count each object.  We also continued with the formations of numbers 1-10.  Our teachers are really proud of us all. We also learnt the names of 2d shapes and used these to make super shape pictures.

Autumn

We have had lots of Autumnal fun this week .  We learnt all about hedgehogs and made our own.  We learnt a new word, ‘nocturnal’.  We know that if we we ever see a hedgehog during the day it could mean that the little hedgehog needs help, hopefully we won’t ever see one.

Note from our teachers: Thank you to you all for your support over the last few weeks.  The children have settled in well and deserve a well earned break. Have a lovely October week and we will see you all on Tuesday, 19th of October.

Bye for now!
