Another busy week in P1. We have been working hard during our phonics lessons with Miss Fraser. We learned two new sounds l and h. We also learned the tricky word you. We made words with these sounds, taught ted how to write them, made a lamb and a horse. In numeracy we have been learning about number bonds. We have been focusing on adding numbers together that make 10. Can you remember any pairs of  numbers that make 10? We have also been outdoors twice this week. On Tuesday we went for a lovely autumn walk to the church and around the local area. We looked at the beautiful poppy tree for remembrance Sunday. We were lucky enough to get to go in the church and see the beautiful display of poppies in there. Photos to follow on twitter. We created rubbings of leaves once back in class. Primary 1 and primary 2 have also been practising for our nativity. In Science we were learning about push and pull forces. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Ayden: “I enjoyed learning my number bonds to 10.”

Ziva: “I found it tricky writing l and h.”

Leighton: “I enjoyed learning how to say the sound l.”

Isaac: “I found writing the letter h tricky.”

Ch: I enjoyed our walk to the church and learning about what the poppy is for. They are for remembering the people who died during the wars.”

Lois: “I found writing the h tricky.”

Euan: “I found our two sounds this week tricky.”

Another busy week in Primary 1. We have been working very hard and learning lots.  In Literacy, we have learned f and e and the tricky word no. We have made words with these new sounds, learned how to write them and played games with sound dice. We coloured in an Elmer picture as Elmer begins with e and we are going to use them during book week Scotland. In writing we wrote about our halloween costumes. In maths, we have been continuing to learn about shape and in particular 3D shapes. We have gone on shape hunts, made shapes with our bodies, made shape wands then we blew bubbles with them, made shape biscuits, junk modelling and sorting shapes as to whether they rolled or slid. In P.E we were throwing and catching a ball to continue to develop our hand eye co-ordination. In art we finished off our space pictures. We have started preparing for our nativity and we tried to learn one of the songs. Here are a few of the children’s reflections from the week:

Sam: ” I enjoyed being the class helper this week and being responsible for taking messages to the office.”

Ayden: ” I enjoyed learning the tricky word no.”

Isaac: “I enjoyed learning the first song for our nativity.”

Lois: ” I enjoyed learning the shapes and making shape biscuits.”

Ziva: ” I enjoyed colouring in my Elmer.”

Leighton: ” I enjoyed Primary 2’s assembly on kindness.”

Euan: ” I found it tricky learning the letters f and e.”
