Welcome back. I hope you have had a lovely holiday. Primary 1 have had a busy week. This week we were visited by Emma from the PDSA, who spoke to us about what a dog, cat and a rabbit need. She helped us to get Pet wise. We also had a visit from Jacqueline who works for the Children’s hospital charity. She spoke to us about the Oor Wullie trail. We are going to get the opportunity to help decorate our own Oor Wullie which will be part of the trail. This week our focus for number talks has been finding doubles and near doubles in ten frames. We have also continued problem solving by looking for and continuing patterns. In literacy we have practised our sounds and tricky words. We learned two new tricky words saw and want. In writing we wrote about our holidays. We wrote two sentences and some of us even used a connective. We had our star of the week circle time. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Sevinc: “I enjoyed Mrs Mill’s assembly about respecting yourself.”

Leighton: “I enjoyed listening to Jacqueline and learning about Oor Wullie.”

Lois: “Same as Leighton.”

Ch: “I enjoyed number talks about doubles and near doubles.”

Rory: “I enjoyed the Oor Wullie assembly like Leighton.”

Sam: “Same as Rory, I enjoyed the Oor Wullie assembly.”

Isaac: “I enjoyed doing our number talks.”
