It has been a great week for us all in Primary 1.

What have we learnt ?

Literacy

We learnt three new sounds this week, oo, j and y.      We had lots fun engaging in play activities including : playing with yo-yos, playing in the cafe ordering food and looking at jam. We also have been practising reading our balloon words and had fun being little book detectives seeing if we could spot some of these words in our library books. We also listened to the story, ‘Owl Babies’ and rewrote this  story in our own words. We all did such a good job that we gave our teachers a dilemma when choosing a ‘Star Writer’ from each class. Our teachers are super impressed at how well we are all doing using our sounds to help us to write!

Numeracy

We have been learning how to identify and count coin collections.  We have also been learning how to count forwards and backwards in 2s and 10s which was useful to us when we had lots of 2ps to count.

Nocturnal Animals/Light and Dark.

The ‘Owl Babies’ story was a nice little introduction to us learning about nocturnal animals.  Over the next few weeks we will be finding out more about these animals and learning about the sun, moon and stars.  We will also be learning how to keep safe when it is dark outside.

Nativity

We have been practising our lines and songs for the Nativity.  We are learning lots of new skills whilst we do this including: talking to an audience, projecting our little voices and acting. We can’t wait to dress up in our costumes to retell the story of Christmas.  Watch this space!
