We have been busy bees in Primary 1! Read on to find out what we have learnt.

Literacy

We are writing more and more as each week passes.  We write about our weekend news, practise writing sentences that our teachers dictate to us AND we have made more posters persuading people to look after the world an our seas. Our teachers are so pleased with us all.

Numeracy

We have been learning how to share, this is called division.  We have learnt that when we share equally we all have the same amount, this makes it fair. We have been sharing amongst two, three and four groups.  We have in lots of practical activities including sharing food between our class bears, using 2, 3 and 4 hoops to share cubes, pencils, pasta pieces.  These activities have been fun and really helped us to understand the concept of sharing.

Topic – Under the Sea

We have learnt about the biggest sea creature of all, the whale! We knew that they were big but didn’t realise that the blue whale was bigger than our classrooms! We also thought it was cool to learn that whales use a little hole on their head, (this is called a blowhole) to spurt out water to help them to breathe.

RERC

We listened to the Bible story, ‘The Widow’s Mite’. We learnt that the woman had only 2 coins but she gave them both in love for God. God wants us to give everything we have to him. We can do this by being kind and loving, giving money to charity, praying and singing to God, going to church.  Our teachers are very proud of how we show kindness each day to each other in class.
