Another busy week for Primary 1 learning lots of new things. In literacy we learned the ir and ou sounds and the tricky word to. We used these new sounds to build words such bird and pound. We looked at rhyming words as quite a few of our ou words rhymed. We wrote a letter to Mrs Mill asking her if we could help the friendly dragon save fairyland by turning our classroom into the enchanted forest. We were very excited to have received a letter from the dragon. We drew illustrations of some of the fairytales that we knew of. In maths we explored weight. We used pan balance scales, play dough, classroom items and weights to explore how heavy items were and compare what was the lightest item with the heaviest item. We learned that although we changed the shape of play dough it still weighed the same. In health and wellbeing we discussed the qualities of a good friend. We then created wanted posters displaying these qualities. Next week in Literacy we will be learning the ‘oy’ sound and revising set 2 sounds. In numeracy and maths we will be focusing on exploring capacity. We are all looking forward to exploring our first fairytale and starting to create the enchanted forest in our classroom.
