We had a great week in Primary 1. We enjoyed our Halloween activities. In class we read some Halloween stories and even did some Halloween maths. We had a lovely Halloween party on Thursday with some stories, dancing and games. We especially loved wrapping up the mummies…Today we played a pumpkin drive game with our P3 friends, we had to work as a team to draw a pumpkin when we rolled the dice, eg a 2 was the eyes.
In numeracy we started our new topic… addition. We learnt that addition is how many altogether. We had lots of opportunities to add things together and share strategies…including adding real people and teddies…Maybe we could practice at home with some objects around the house. In time we learnt the months of the year. It was really fun jumping up when Mrs Gordon said our birthday month. We are now trying hard to remember the order of the months.
In literacy we learnt the sounds g and f and the tricky word I. Tricky or common words are words that we can’t sound out, we just need to learn them. For each word we have an action.
This week some of us were lucky enough to go to the nursery garden and learn about using the firepit. We had yummy marshmallows…The others will go next week.
We started talking about hedgehogs and hibernation. Mrs Gordon was very impressed with how much we already know. We also made some amazing hedgehogs with the leaves we gathered last week.
Happy weekend, Mrs Gordon and P1a
