We have had a fantastic week in Primary 1! Spring has arrived and we have been making the most of the lovely weather, noticing new flowers blooming and lots of warm sunshine. We were inspired to write a description of Spring and create some arts and crafts too.

In Literacy we have recapped some of our more tricky sounds and developed our skills in writing sentences, using capital letters and full stops. We learned to recognise and form the capital letters O and P. We are making great progress with our reading skills, noticing where the full stops are and taking a little pause. Some of us are even beginning to use expression and change our voices a little for each character. Super!

In Maths we have continued to learn about measure, this week focusing on weight. We enjoyed practical activities using balancing scales and kitchen scales to explore ‘heavy’, ‘light’ and ‘equal’.

For RERC, as we are in Lent, we learned about Palm Sunday, when Jesus paraded through the streets of Jerusalem and people cheered for Him. We discussed how special Jesus was when he was alive and how people were very excited to see Him.

Finally, we enjoyed our teddy bears’ picnic on Wednesday outside in the sunshine and look forward to our final week of the term next week.
