Primary 1 have had a fantastic fortnight!
What have we been up to ?
Literacy
We have learnt four new sounds, qu, ai, oa and th and engaged in lots of fun activities to help us with our learning. We coloured in queens, looked at quills, and made lovely thistles. We also played with trains and looked at boats. We also practised reading our common words. Our teachers are so proud of how well we are doing with these as lots of them are tricky! We are now understanding that if we want to become good at something we have to practise.
We are writing lots and lots at the moment! One of our favourite jobs was writing a letter to Santa Claus! Our teachers have told us that we will all definitely be on the ‘Nice List’, phew ! We also wrote a little passage about Winter time. We have decided that although Winter is a cold season it is beautiful and especially when God sprinkles frost all over.
Numeracy
We did lots of oral number counting in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s. We have also been looking at different ways to make numbers, for example 2+2 = 4, 4+0=4. We have also been learning that there are different words and phrases that also mean ‘add’. These include, ‘plus’, ‘more than’ and ‘how many altogether’?
R.E
We celebrated the Patron Saint of our school, Saint Nicholas on Monday the 6th. We learnt a song, ‘Jolly Old St Nicholas’ and participated in Mass which was led by P6. We are proud that our school is named after such a kind Saint. We too will always try our best to be kind like St Nicholas.
Health and Wellbeing
We are continuing to check in each morning using our check in pebbles and pegs. We do this as it lets our teachers know how we are feeling. We have spoken a lot this week about what is means to feel included and how to be kind to others. We listened to a story, ‘Kindness is my Superpower’ . This story was great as it helped us to remember that kindness is important.
Finally…
We have all been filmed this week doing our little job for the Nativity and the clips are being edited. The link will be sent out next week, hooray !
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
P1 teachers.
