It was lovely to see all of Primary 1 back after the holidays and ready to learn.

In our writing this week we used the fairytale The Little Red Riding Hood as a stimulus.  We were learning how to write an imaginative story of walking through the woods.

 

We learnt a new sound this week ‘sh’ and we came up with great words beginning with sh. For example, shower, share and shout.  We were also building words by sounding out the sounds we hear.

We had our Vibrant Vocabulary this week.  Our words were from the book ‘Who Ate Cake?’.  Our words were pesky, commotion, thrilled, scrumptious and clattered.  We were learning the meaning of these well.

In maths, we have been continuing to learn to add by using whole number and parts.  For example, 8 is the whole, one part is 5 how many more to make 8.  We also began to learn to share numbers into 2 groups using cubes.

We also learned how to read and make pictographs as a class.  We found out that the most common eye colour is blue and the favourite fruit winner is strawberries.

In PE we are still continuing to share resources and work together for a goal through team games.  We loved to play it he new game cat and mouse.  We also used the parachute outside and we had to work together to fight against the wind.

We were very excited on Friday as our buddies came down and helped us to redraft our stories and play games.
