Primary 1

P1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 28th January 2022

Another busy week for Primary 1. In Literacy we have learned the ‘oo’ and ‘ar’ long vowel sounds and the red word like. We have written words with ‘oo’ and ‘ar’, built words on our magnetic boards, played roll and read and snakes and ladders and sorted real and nonsense words. In writing we wrote a description of one of our favourite characters from a book, Arnie from Arnie the Doughnut.

In Maths this week we have continued with exploring time. We learned the seasons, the months of the year and how to tell o’clock times on an analogue clock. We sorted the months of year, cut and stuck the months of the year down in the correct order, explored the hands on an analogue clock and made o’clock times using playdough and clock mats.

On Tuesday we learned about Robert Burns and took an interactive virtual tour of his house. We discussed the differences between his house and our houses. On Thursday afternoon we became superheroes. We chose our superhero name, super power and what we use our super power for. Some of the children used alliteration to create their super hero name.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“We did learning of the days and the months and the clocks” Matthew

“We were learning our sounds /oo/ and /ar/” Gracie

“I liked playing the cat and mouse game in gym. I was laughing” Leo

“I liked running in the hall and I was the mouse. It was funny.”  David

“I made a picture which was a garden and then I knew it was an ar word.” Aaron

“I was proud of my picture which was a park with a seesaw, a star and a spark.

We learnt new words -“of” and I love school because I learn so much words and letters.” Emily

“I was learning to listen and to listen to what the teachers tell me.” Ishanvi

“I liked playing with my friend” Lyla

“I was learning the new sounds and writing the letters. “Jessica

Have a good weekend

Weekly Reflection 28.01.22

What a great week we have had celebrating Burns Day and hearing all our Scots Poetry Competition finalists. Well done to our own class finalists Ethan, Rory, Minny and Poppy. We have also listened to some videos which taught us some Scots language from different parts of the country, click here to listen to the videos again with your children at home.

In phonics, Primary 1 have been learning the sounds oo and ar and Primary 2 have been revising the long vowel u (ue u-e ew) and the bossy r sound using the digraphs er, ir and ur.  In writing, we have been continuing to think about adjectives and wrote some decriptions about ourselves. 

In numeracy, Primary 1 have been continuing to develop understanding of number bonds to ten and Primary 2 have been learning about subtaction using the counting back strategy. This week we have also been learning the Months of the Year, please continue to practise these at home.

We are continuing to think about different places in Scotland that we have visited and have been developing our understanding of the map of Scotland. We have plotted the main Scottish cities on the map and we learned about some of the food that people associate with Scotland. We also discussed some famous Scots including Andy Murray, Robert Burns and John Logie Baird.
