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
