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!

 

Learning in P1

Hello everyone.  P1 have been very busy this week.  We’re very excited to see if our sunflower seeds will grow.  We’ve been learning about how to plant a seed, what a seed needs to grow and talking about living and non-living things.

In maths, we have been learning to count forwards and backwards to 20,  forming all our numbers correctly and sequencing.

We were excited to bring our first reading books home. (Please ensure all books are returned to school on a Friday morning).

We’re continuing to learn to write with capital letters, full stops and finger spaces for all our sentences.

We’ve enjoyed being out in the sunshine this week and hope you have a lovely 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 P1

We’ve been learning a new sound ‘ie’ this week and have been reading and building words with the ‘ie’ sound in them.

We’ve also been learning about subtraction and have been ‘taking away one’ from a group.

We’ve been listening to lots of stories and some of us have even been counting to 10 in French!

The teachers are really looking forward to seeing everyone in school on Monday.  Have a lovely weekend.

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!

Hello everyone.

The boys and girls have been very busy this week.  We’ve been learning about time.  We have been ordering the months of the year, the days of the week and have been learning to tell the time ‘o’clock’ on our analogue clocks.

Our new sound this week was ‘wh’ and we’ve been learning to read cvc words.

We’ve been using our listening skills to listen to stories and have also been discussing what foods are healthy and unhealthy.

We hope you 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.
