We have had such an exciting week that we cannot wait to share it with you all!
Our classrooms are looking all Christmassy! We have Christmas trees, decorations and lots of beautiful sparkly and colourful lights. We also have a new addition to each of our classes, little elves !We arrived to school on Wednesday to find letters and our little elves in our classes. The letters asked us to name the elves so we put on our thinking caps and voted. The most popular name in P1a was Cookie. In P1b the little elf was named Snowy and in P1c the elf’s name is Fred. Our new friends are kindness elves and have been sent to us because they heard that all of the boys and girls in Primary 1 are soooo kind. We are so excited to have these little elves in our classes and can’t wait to spread kindness and happiness with them.
Talking about Christmas we have been so busy working on our Nativity. It is coming along nicely and will be ready in the next few weeks to share with you all.
Literacy
In literacy we learnt three more sounds this week, ‘sh’, ‘ch’ and ‘x’. We learnt how to recognise, say and read and write words with each of these sounds. We also listened to a story about a fox and rewrote it. Our writing is getting better and better each week as we are becoming more confident writing words all by ourselves! We are enjoying reading too. We use our pointer fingers to point to each word when we read it. We really enjoy reading little ditties and all about Kipper and Floppy.
Numeracy
In numeracy we have continued working with coins, counting amounts and playing with real coins. We know that it is really important to learn about money as we will use money to pay for things when we are older. We have also learnt a new song about subitising. We thought that this was a funny word! It means to be able to recognise amounts really quickly, for example if we hold up one of our hands we know that we are showing a 5. We don’t need to count !
Topic
We made lovely little owl pictures based on the story that we read last week, ‘Owl Babies’. We also learn more about foxes as these too are nocturnal animals. Mrs Mac spotted one just the other night there in her street!
Thanks for reading!
