Weekly Update From Primary One

A few highlights from our very busy week.

Literacy

This week we have been focusing on the c sound. The children have been learning to recognise the sound, as well as read and write it. We have been playing c bingo and sorting pictures according to their initial sound. Some pictures below-

     

     

 

 

We have also continued our recount writing genre. This week the children had to recall one thing that they like to do at school. They came up with lots of suggestions including painting, drawing, writing sounds, playing in the home corner etc. Below some pictures of their writing and detailed pictures-

          

Numeracy and Maths

We are continuing to develop number sense and the children have enjoyed taking part in lots of different number games. They have also been exploring the properties of 2D shapes. The buddies supported the children in the making of shape rockets with their names on them.

     

   

   

In primary one, we also understand that play is very important to a child’s development. Play encourages and develops language skills, emotions, creativity and social skills. The children have had great fun this week turning our home corner into an Italian restaurant with real pasta and sauces. Some great pictures of them sharing, turn-taking and role-playing.

               

               

I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog. Have lovely weekend everyone!

 

Primary 4/3 Learning Highlights

It’s been another busy week in Primary 4/3.

This week we got our new family home learning sheets and spelling lists home. We are excited to practise these at home with our loved ones.

This week in Health and Wellbeing we have been learning what it means to be part of a team. Our value focus for this week has been Included, we all know that being part of a team means we feel included. In pairs we came up with words to go alongside the feelings of being ‘Included‘ and ‘Excluded‘.

We were set a tricky challenge of working together as a class team to pass a ball around the circle without using our hands or feet. We really had to work together for this, we had a lot of laughs as we came up with some imaginative ways to pass the ball. Lexie used her head, Charlie used his elbows and Vratko used his ears! We made up word diamonds to choose the most important vocabulary to go with being part of a team and how it makes us feel.

We also started our topic this week, The Victorians.

We are excited to start learning about all of the gruesome things they did in the past! We started off by developing some research questions to shape our learning over the next few weeks.

Here are some of the questions we came up with.

What kind of clothes did they wear?

What did their toilets look like?

Did they have cars?

What did their houses look like?

Who helped sick people?

How did they celebrate holidays like Halloween and Christmas?

What was school like?

What inventions did they come up with?

We can’t wait to get started and share all our discoveries with you.

We hope you have enjoyed a little snap shot of our learning this week.
