Each week Primary 1 will be sharing their learning with you through our class blog. This week we enjoyed sharing our holiday experiences and drew some super detailed pictures of places we visited and activities we took part in.
Literacy
We have been working hard to learn 2 new sounds – s and p. To help us with our letter formation we have created “Sammy Snakes” and “Popcorn P’s” (fantastic sensory experience!).
We are learning about our story book characters Kipper, Biff, Chip and of course Floppy the dog! The children are enjoying discussing their adventures and are beginning to recognise some of the words (big thank you for all your support with homework tasks)
Numeracy
This week we have been focusing on creating groups of 7 and 8. The children can make 7 and 8 in a number of ways (3+4, 5+3 etc. using concrete materials) – ask them, challenge them!! this is a very important skill and we are all working hard to develop this.
Other areas
We all love autumn, we have been on an autumn walk and collected lots and lots of leaves. We have used the leaves to create pictures, to order smallest to largest and to sort according to shape. We especially enjoyed reading The Little Acorn which has helped us to understand the life cycle of the acorn.
Participation Friday
Our focus is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We made bookmarks from recycled materials and took them to local shops to give to customers to encourage them to think about how small changes can make a big difference. (pictures will appear in next weeks blog)
Next Week HIghlights- Halloween Disco and preparations for Deans Big Birthday Celebrations.
Have a great week!!
We will show you how we access our school blog, and education city games. We hope you are able to join us.
