We have had another really busy week in Primary one. The children have taken part in a number of math’s challenges (as you can see below) . We have been ordering and writing numbers, counting in 10,s, drawing number collections as well as identifying number patterns.
You will have noticed that the children now have tricky words as well as sounds to learn. They are updated weekly and your support in helping them to read and recognize them is greatly appreciated.
We have had great fun reading Room on the Broom. The children have been retelling and ordering the story , discussing the characters and even making a new broom! We challenged P1 and P2/1 to collected items from the field outside the school to make the witch a new broom. The children enjoyed this task and the discussions that went on were thoughtful and imaginative. New parts to make the broom go faster, a bigger broom for more characters etc.
A big thank you to all parents who put in a tremendous effort in making fantastic costumes. I took a group picture before the disco, looking at it today on the smart board they thought they looked “really scary”. Autumn and Halloween art have been a big focus. We have a tremendous Pumpkin Patch. The children used a range of media including marbling, paint washes, chalk, line and shape to create a variety of pumpkins.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
