Primary 1

This week the children have continued to settle into the class routines.  They have started their reading books in class, but since these are non-word books these are being used to develop comprehension and understanding of books.

In maths we have been looking at pattern and using play activities, along with workbooks to develop the children’s understanding of a repeating pattern with colour, shape and/or size.  This was a bit tricky for some but these concepts will be revisited.

We have started learning our sounds and this week we have learned about ‘m’ and ‘c’.  Many activities have been used, including songs, actions and stories to help children recall the letter name, shape and help them write these letters.

The children also had a fabulous time when the drama company came and dramatized ‘Charlotte’s Web’.

Well done P1!
