Good Afternoon. P1 have had a very busy week. In Literacy we have been learning the igh and ow as in snow sounds. We have written words with these sounds, played roll and read, sorted real words into a treasure chest and nonsense words into the bin and coloured real and nonsense words with the ow sound. In writing we wrote a simile about Nessie the Loch Ness Monster.  We also recited our Scottish Poems this week and Miss Maclachlan is very proud of us all.

In Maths we have been focusing on the days of the week. We have been ordering them, saying them and singing them. We have also created our own days of the week wheel where we drew pictures of something we do on each day of the week. Some of us also enjoyed playing monster days of the week snap.

During our Scottish focus we have learned about Nessie the Loch Ness Monster and Greyfriars Bobby. We have created models of Nessie using Lego or playdough and painted pictures of Nessie. When we were learning about Greyfriars Bobby we discussed how he was loyal to his master and where you could find his statue. Some children then created a collage Greyfriars Bobby or coloured in a template of Greyfriars Bobby.

Here are some of the children’s reflections on their week:
