Weekly Update From P1A

I hope you enjoyed the Easter holidays and managed to take advantage of the lovely weather. It was great to see all the children back  for their last term in Primary 1! Some of the learning that has taken place this week-

Writing –

This term we have started a new writing genre and shall be writing a number of recounts pieces. Bascially for us in Primary one, that means writing that retells events that have already occured. The first piece was titled “Playing in my Bedroom”. The children had to write sentences saying where they were, what they were doing, what they made and how they felt. I think they did really well and I can see a big improvement in their writing skills. Some writing examples below.

   

Phonics and Reading

We have been working really hard on our blends – ch, th, sh, wh and ng. The children have been creating words and reading sentences which contain the  blends.

Health and Wellbeing – Health Me

For the first part of this term we will be looking at how to keep our bodies and minds healthy. We began by idenifying something that we already do to keep us healthy. Some examples below-

Next, we drew examples of healthy food we would like to have in our lunch boxes-

       

Numeracy – Subtraction and numbers up to 20

We are continuing to learn how to subtract numbers and make numbers beyond 10 using 10 as a base. Some pictures below-

     

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I shall be back next week with more updates from P1A.

 

Primary 1B Learning Highlights

We have had a wonderful and very busy first week back in Primary 1B. It has been lovely to see so many smiling faces and see so many of the children so eager to resume their learning.

Health and Wellbeing

We have begun to explore a new topic this term focusing on ‘Healthy Me’. We started by discussing what the word Healthy meant to us. We drew some pictures of us making our own healthy choices and wrote about what we do to keep our bodies healthy.

        

The children all had fantastic ways to suggest how to keep our bodies healthy. We are a healthy bunch in Primary 1B.

Kellan – Brush your teeth twice a day.

Leighton – You should eat bananas.

Reuben – You can eat lots of vegetables like broccoli, tomatoes and cauliflower.

Kaleb – We can keep our bodies clean by washing our faces and hands.

Cooper – We get fresh air and exercise.

We read a wonderful story about a very unhealthy wolf called Wilfred who managed to turn his life around to become fitter and healthier.

This story inspired us to pledge to make our own healthy choices. Here are some of our ideas…..

                     

Writing

This week in writing we had a go at writing a ‘recount’ piece of text. This is where we think of an event which has happened and we retell it in our own words. To begin with we kept it simple and wrote about ‘playing’. We talked about a time we had great fun playing and simply wrote about it. Have a look at some examples below, we are very proud of our hard word.

  

Numeracy

This week we have been working on our subtraction skills. Seeing the weather has been kind to us, we decided to take our learning outside to practise this skill. We had lots of fun making up our own subtraction number stories.

We hope that the sun continues to shine for us next week too. We hope you enjoyed reading our blog.
