Another busy week in Primary 1!  We have been continuing to learn our vowel digraphs, our new sound this week was ee/ea.  We are getting really good at segmenting and blending to read and spell words!  Through our topic on houses and homes we have been learning to describe and sort different materials according to their properties.  In preparation for ‘Scotland loves Languages Week’ we have been singing Frere Jacques in French and in Polish! In Numeracy we have been using picture mats to tell addition stories and we listened to the story ‘What’s New at the Zoo’ an animal addition adventure.

Primary 1 have been introduced to another new sound ai/ay  this week.  We have been learning to read and build words and are getting really good at being detectives by identifying the sounds in different texts. We listened to the story ‘Snowball’ and made our own story using playdough and story stones.  We used our talking tins to talk through the events of the story in order.  In maths we are continuing to develop our confidence in addition using numicon, rekenreks and cubes.

Primary 1 have had a great week.  We have been celebrating Robert Burn’s day by listening to the ‘Gruffalo in Scots’ and learning some Scottish vocabulary.  We then created a poster of the Gruffalo and labelled it. We presented our Scottish song ‘Bananas are the Best’ to the school community, our performance was amazing!  Through our topic we created houses using a variety of fabric, made sandcastles and created houses from lego and building blocks.

Primary 1 have had a very busy and fun week.  We have been continuing with segmenting and blending consonant digraphs sh, ch and th.  We listened  to the story of  ‘The Wish Tree’ and created a story map of the events and used a paper bag and white tissue paper to create our very own Wish Tree.  We have started our new topic ‘Houses and Homes’.  We made a picture on our ‘Story Window’ of the Rainbow Fish and then wrote a sentence.  We completed a KWL grid to find out what we already know and what we want to find out about our topic.  We are continuing to develop our understanding of addition within 10 through a variety of rhymes, stories and active learning opportunities.

Happy New Year! hope you had a lovely Christmas holiday. Primary 1 are excited for the new term ahead.  We have been learning new sounds ‘sh’ and ‘ch’.  We listened to the story of the Rainbow Fish, made our own collage Rainbow Fish and wrote a story. We have been using cotton buds to create Snowflakes.  We designed our own Snowman picture on sticky paper then wrote a sentence about our picture.  We have been investigating push and pull forces in the classroom and playground.

What a busy and exciting time it’s been in Primary 1.  Mrs Taylor was so proud of our performance in the nativity, Primary 1 and 2 did an amazing job! We had our Christmas party on Monday and we had a special visitor from Santa! Primary 5 have been making board games and came to play them with us, they were fantastic! Rookie Rockstars visited our school this morning and we had great fun singing and dancing along to all the songs.

Primary 1 have had a really fun week!  We had our Christmas lunch on Wednesday and wore our Christmas jumpers.  We made Christmas coasters to sell at our Fayre on Friday. The whole school walked to the church to practise the nativity.  We are really looking forward to performing to the school community next week.

Primary 1 have had a great week.  We walked to the church on Monday with Primary 2 to practise the nativity and we did a whole school rehearsal on Wednesday.  We continued our writing of Stick Man by thinking about all the different ways Stick Man was used.  We made playdough ladybirds to help with our addition.  The nurse came in to check our height and eyesight and talk to us about healthy eating.  We continued to learn our tricky words by making them from playdough and taking photos. During topic time one of our challenges was to learn how to sew and we did an amazing job!  We learned all about St Andrew and did some highland dancing! We will be celebrating St Andrew’s day on Friday with the Primary 5 mass at school.

It’s been a busy week in Primary 1.  We have listened to the story ‘Stick Man’ by Julia Donaldson and then went outside to find sticks to create our own Stick Man.  We made a nest for the swan and found our Stick Man tree in the playground.  We made a 3d story map with story stones and wrote a sentence about who Stick Man met on his adventures.  We have been continuing to learn how to add two numbers within 10.  We are working really hard on our nativity learning our lines and the songs.

Primary 1 have had a busy week.  We have been practising our nativity ‘A Miracle in Town’ and the songs are sounding great! We have been learning our new sounds ‘z’ and ‘w’ and using magnetic letters to build three letter words.  We have been learning about addition using numicon and continuing to work on our number formation.  We have been making lego toys and we have set up a toy shop in our classroom.
