Another busy week in Primary 1. This week we have been learning the sounds d and t.  Now we know m, a, s, d and t we have begun to build some simple words.  It would be good if you could practise looking for these sounds at home and when you are out and about in the local environment.

In our numeracy this week we have been learning the numbers 6 and 7 and have been learning the days of the week.  There are lots of songs on Youtube to help the children learn their numbers and days of the week, have fun singing these together at home.

This week the children have shown a great interest in playing mummies and daddies in the house corner so we have begun to look at learning about Our Families and have talked about diversity and how everyone’s family is different.

In PE we have been developing our listening skills as we learned to follow instructions while playing a game with partners.

Here are some of the children’s comments about their learning this week:

Elise “I liked playing in the house corner with Nieve and being a mummy and I liked drawing.”

Georgie ” I liked playing doctors and playing with Penelope and Sahasra. I liked playing with every single person in the playground.”

Sophie ” I liked learning and playing with Eva.”

Ruby ” I liked playing doctors with Penelope.”

Penelope “I liked playing tag outside with Georgie and Ruby.”

Elloise “I liked playing doctors in the house corner and drawing.”
