Primary 1 have been busy learning the last set 2 sound which was ‘oy’. We brainstormed and then made lots of ‘oy’ words such as boy. We also learned  the tricky word ‘too’. In writing we have been working on letter writing and we wrote a letter to the friendly dragon telling him that we are going to help him save the enchanted forest by getting people to believe in fairy tales again. The dragon paid the classroom a visit when we were at lunch on Wednesday and left us a mirror and a number 7. We worked out that the items were from Snow White and we listened to the story. We then pretended we were Snow White walking through the dark scary forest. In Maths, we have been learning about capacity and how many cups of water or sand it takes to fill objects. We learned the terms full, half full, nearly full/empty and empty. Here are a few thoughts from the children on their learning this week:

Pola: I enjoyed drama when we were a tree or Snow White walking through the forest!

Amelia: I loved being a scary tree in the forest.

Safia: I liked listening to fairy tales.

Aiden: I enjoyed listening to the story of Snow White.

Calum: I liked learning the ‘oy’ sound and building lots of words with it.

James: I enjoyed learning about capacity and how many cups it took to fill different containers.

Lewis: I liked developing skills in Yoga.
