Primary 1

It’s been another busy week of learning in Primary 1.

Well done to the children in P1b for sharing their Scots story at the assembly last week.  Everyone worked hard to learn their words and they shared the story beautifully!  Congratulations also to all those who learned their Scots poem.

We have all been learning about time.  We started with the year, then seasons, months, days and now the hours.  We have been making clocks and using them to tell o’clock times.

We continue to learn and practise sounds and are beginning to  write sentences, remembering capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.

A gentle reminder to please return reading books on a Thursday and to keep toys at home, we don’t want any getting lost.

Have a super holiday weekend, we’ll hear the children’s news on Wednesday.

Welcome Back Primary 1!

We hope all our families had a lovely break.  Primary 1 have quickly settled back to our class rules and routines and appear to be taking changes in their stride!

In Numeracy this week  we have been revising shape and addition, and in Literacy learning two new sounds ‘j’ and ‘z’.

Next week is Scots Week and we’re looking forward to lots of stories and activities in Scots!  We’ll also begin to send home reading bags with books to practise reading.  If your child’s black book bag is still at home please send in on Monday, many thanks.  Arriving home on Monday will be two Scots poems.  Please help your child select one and learn it.  We’ll also practise at school and will hear all children say their poem on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th of January.  This will also be posted on Seesaw.

Many thanks

Primary 1 Music

On Monday we had an exciting and active music session with Fischy Music.  We danced and sang to some familiar and some new songs. Primary 1 had a great time!

In class we were busy preparing for the Fayre at Tots Spot on Saturday. We have practised our measuring to make reindeer food to sell at the fayre.

Primary 1

Primary 1 has had a really fun week.

We have watched an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ panto, tried to beat the teacher in lots of different activities and played ‘Would I Lie to You’.

We wish you a lovely summer and thank you for your gifts and kind notes.

Mrs Hay would like to thank you for your generous gifts and good wishes.  She will miss East Calder children lots!

Primary 1

It has been another busy week in Primary 1.

On Wednesday it was Numeracy Day and we all had a great time following a numeracy trail in our playground.  We have continued to learn about money, recognising coins and counting amounts.

We continue to practise writing sentences, this week about bees, bugs or going to the park.  We start our sentences with a capital letter, leave finger spaces and end with a full stop.

We are also learning about our senses and how we use them to learn about the world around us.

Next week, being a short week, and because unfortunately lots of books have not yet been returned, reading books will not be sent home.

Homework will again be posted on Seesaw, on Tuesday after school.

Have a lovely long weekend!

 

Primary 1

It’s been another busy week in primary 1.  This week and next we will learn two new sounds ‘oa’ and ‘ng’. The children have been writing the sounds and blending to read words containing the sound. We have been reading in small groups and writing sentences and small stories.  Our targets are to start with a capital letter, use finger spaces and end with a full stop.  We have been adding within 10 and learning about halves and quarters.  We have also been learning about toys in the past.

It was lovely to catch up with you this week.  Have a great weekend.

 

Learning in Primary 1

Well done P1, you have worked really well this week.  It’s great to see you in school and on SeeSaw, even in our assembly this week.  Thank you for your photos, videos, recordings and hard work.

This week we have continued to learn to tell the time on analogue and digital clocks.  We were practising our number bonds to 10 and have been counting and ordering numbers to 20.

Our literacy work included a new sound ‘oo’, learning to recognise tricky/common words and using our sounds and blending to build and write words.

It was national storytelling week and we listened to lots of stories and drew or wrote a response.

After all that it was great to learn some relaxation and calm breathing exercises.

Have a great weekend!

 

Primary 1

Good morning Primary 1.

Thank you for all your hard work in school and on SeeSaw.  Your models, pictures and poems for Scots Week have been super.

This week we have continued our phonics work,  learning the new sound ‘th’ and practising ‘sh’ and ‘ch’.  We have been learning number bonds to 5 and 10.  We also measured using footsteps and blocks.

Have a super weekend.

Mrs Forbes, Mrs Murdoch & Ms Rutherford

 

Primary 1 – Literacy

Primary 1 have been playing and working hard to learn their sounds.

In school bags this week are a page of sounds taught, illustrating the action too.  We have been writing, recognising and saying the sounds in class.

Please continue to practise these sounds at home.  You may also wish to try blending the sounds to make small words e.g. p-a-t  = pat.
