<\/a><\/p>\nIt has bin a richt guid week!, (it has been a really good week).\u00a0 We have had such good fun this week and especially with our new topic, ‘Scotland’.\u00a0 Read on to find out what else we have been up to.<\/p>\n
Literacy<\/p>\n
As well as revising lots of sounds previously taught,\u00a0we learnt two new sounds this week, ‘ng’ and ‘wh’.\u00a0 Both of these sounds appear in lots of words, (as we found out).Now that we have a bank of sounds in our heads we are writing more and more each day and using our knowledge of these to help us to sound out words when we are reading too.\u00a0 We are becoming more confident at writing independently and giving writing a go.\u00a0 Our teacher are VERY proud of us all.<\/p>\n
Numeracy<\/p>\n
We have have had a great time learning about ‘time’ this week.\u00a0 We have learnt that time never stops, (unless the batteries run out in your clock\/watch)\u00a0 and\u00a0that being able to tell the time is a really important skill that we will use for the rest of our lives.\u00a0 We have been practising how to tell the time for o’clock and half past times and are becoming really good.\u00a0 We have also been practising our number bonds and learning strategies on how to find a missing number, e.g. : 2 plus what makes 5 ?<\/p>\n
Health and Wellbeing<\/p>\n
We learnt how to skip this week in P.E.\u00a0 It was easier for some of us than others.\u00a0 Skipping is really good as it helps with balance, jumping and coordination and it is fun! We also recapped the importance of looking after our teeth and were given a cool toothbrush and toothpaste to take home.<\/p>\n
Topic<\/p>\n
We started a new topic this week, \u2018Scotland\u2019. We looked at how our country looks from space and located Broxburn on the map.\u00a0 We are learning a Scottish poem, ‘Traffic Lichts’ and drew Edinburgh Castle too.\u00a0 We were amazed to find out that it was built on a volcano and even more relieved to find out that it is extinct, phew!<\/p>\n
IDL<\/p>\n
We are really enjoying learning Spanish and think it is super that we can chat in Spanish to our teachers in the morning\u00a0 as we say, ‘good morning’, ‘hello’, ‘please ‘, <\/em>and ‘thank you’ .\u00a0 <\/em>We are also really good at knowing the Spanish words for lots of colours and can even count to 20 in this language.\u00a0 Wow!<\/p>\n Thank you for reading our blog, have a nice weekend.<\/p>\n Primary 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has bin a richt guid week!, (it has been a really good week).\u00a0 We have had such good fun this week and especially with our new topic, ‘Scotland’.\u00a0 Read on to find out what else we have been up to.
