Busy bees as always in P1!

Nativity rehearsals have been taking over now!  Our Nativity is on Thursday 14th December at 9.30am or 1.45pm.  Hope to see you all there! 🙂

In numeracy we have continued to work with our number bonds and focused on number bonds of 9 this week.

Our new sound of the week was “d” and we have been working so hard to blend our sounds and read words 🙂

We have also been working hard to use our knowledge of sounds to even write words and make sentences!

Note:  Zumba and Stay and Play after school clubs have now finished.

If you have twitter, please make sure to check out Murrayfield’s twitter account.  I hope to tweet all of P1’s daily learning in the New Year so look out on Dojo for details of my own twitter profile.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Akram 🙂

Hi all,
on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of November we are holding a stay and read session in our classes for our Primary one children and their parents/carers. 🙂
We are inviting you in to our class at 2.30pm.
You can come along to either one of these sessions or both if you can :). It will be different books read to the children on both days.
This is a great opportunity to come in and see the great learning that takes place in our class as well as helping your child with an art/craft based on the book we read that day.
Thank you,
Miss Akram and Mrs Mackie

Yet another busy week in Primary 1.  We have been looking at number bonds of 6 and 7 in Numeracy.  In Literacy we revised all our sounds and looked at how we can use words to create a sentence.  We listened out for beginning and end sounds in words, and some of us even managed to listen for the correct words out of two choices.  We are focusing on listening and attention at all times in Primary 1.  Ask us what makes a good listener! 🙂

We did lot’s of writing this week! We wrote a letter asking the government to save the habitats of bears and not cut trees.

On Tuesday we ventured out in to the community again and went looking for leaves again.  However, the main reason we went out in to the local area was to pick up rubbish as we have been focusing on Hedgehogs in our Scottish Wildlife topic.  We wanted to tidy up the hedgehogs’ habitat and make it lovelier for them. We learned how important recycling is for not only animals but us too. We then used our leaves to create our own hedgehogs.   On Thursday we went to Vue in Livingston with the whole school to watch Sing.  We all enjoyed our trip and were very good listeners throughout the trip. 🙂  We came back to school that day and worked hard to write a letter to a hedgehog asking him to eat bugs and worms.  On Friday we bought some treats in aid of Children in Need and enjoyed coming in to school in our “dots and spots”.

Our word boost words this week were: delicious, gobble, trudge and howl.  Make sure to ask us what they mean and even act them out! 🙂

Here is what we have to say about our week;

I liked learning our number bonds – Emily K

I liked counting our 1 to 100 song – Fraya

I liked making our hedgehogs with leaves – Aaron S

I liked listening to our story about the bear and his habitat – Hunter

We ALL liked going on our walk to find leaves and rubbish we could recycle – Robyn

I liked writing our letter to the hedgehog – Amy

I liked going to the cinema – Rachel

I liked learning our number bonds to 5, 6 and 7 bonds – Alfie

I liked learning our sounds – Robbie

I liked writing a letter to say “don’t cut trees” to save the bears’ habitat – Max

We learned about animals that are nocturnal – Emily K

Have a lovely weekend, Miss Akram 🙂

We have had a busy week as always in Primary 1! Busy but fun of course 🙂

We have focused on our number bonds of 5 this week in numeracy and can demonstrate how to make 5 in various ways such as: fingers, numicon, cubes etc.  We also continued to practice our number formation.

In Literacy we were learning our sounds “b” and “e”.  We also looked at comparing “b” and “p” as we tend to get ourselves confused with these two sounds!   We started worst boost this week and our storybook this week was called “Leo’s dream”.  The children really enjoyed not only learning our new word boost words; investigate, reply, celebrate and enormous but also loved the story itself and we managed to discuss emotions through this book also.  Please make sure you ask us what each of our word boost words mean or even ask us to mime the word :).  We got ourselves a little confused over celebrate starting with the “c” letter but makes a “s” sound so we learned that not all of our sounds follow the rules and our English language is actually a little confusing sometimes! 😮

In our topic Scottish Wildlife we looked at habitats this week and enjoyed drawing our favourite animal and it’s habitat.  We also made a line drawing

of a fox and managed to follow Miss Akram’s directions step by step to create this drawing 🙂 as we are focusing a lot this term on listening and attention skills.

What we have to say about our week of learning this week:

I liked doing our count to 100 song – Aaron R

I liked learning the numbers to 5 – Enily Kyle

I liked learning my sound “e” and “b” – Max Purdie

I know that 4 and 1 make 5 – Ross M

I learned that enormous means something very very big – Gabriels

I know that balloon starts with our b sound – Aaron S

I like our boost word “investigate” – Fraser

I know that investigate means to find out about something – Amy

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Akram

We have had a short but busy week in Primary 1!

We have been revising all our learning from term 1 this week.  In numeracy we continued to revise all our numbers from 0-10 and have been working with ten frames this week.  In literacy we were focused on our common word “The” and even went on a “the” hunt round our classroom.   All children managed to write “the” on their whiteboards and practiced the formation of this word all week.  They were even challenged to build “the” using lego and all managed the challenging task! Well done! 🙂

We finished off our Autumn topic this week and looked at patterns through our topic.  The children had to continue  an Autumn pattern.

The children also had lot’s of fun last night at their Halloween Disco!

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Akram 🙂
