June 17, 2021 – Deans Primary School Blog

I hope you have all had a good week. It has been very exciting in Primary 1, the children have now all had the opportunity to meet their new Primary 2 teacher. Both Miss Borsby and Miss Orr were very impressed by the children, so off to a great start!

Some pictures the children wanted to share-

Maths – Money

This week we have revisited the topic of money. The children have been identifying coins, matching coins and making different amounts using a range of coins.

The children also enjoyed playing a number frame loop game and taking part in an interactive game called “Hit the button” where the children have a minute to answer either number bond or addition questions.

Writing-

The children wrote to the dragon for the last time. They explained what they enjoyed most about his visits. Some pictures below-

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I will be back next week with the final blog from P1A!

This week we have had a focus on Money in our maths work. We have been investigating all of the different coins, what they look like, how they feel and of course how we can use them. We have discussed how important it is to be able to recognise coins, their value and to be able to add up amounts.

We have been sorting coins into their values.

We have been playing games on the smartboard to help us practise adding up using different coins to make different amounts.

We have been rubbing coins to make our own ‘Money Trees’.

We have been labelling the coins with their correct value.

This week we have also had the opportunity to meet our new teachers for a sort introductory session. We can’t wait for all the exciting learning that Primary Two will bring!

We hope you enjoyed a snapshot of our week. We are looking forward to our final week in Primary 1!
