We have had another busy week in P1a. We have been learning 2 new sounds this week, p for pig and n for nest. We have really enjoyed doing the jolly phonics actions and songs for these sounds. Everyone managed to make the sounds on magnetic and whiteboards, and then wrote the sounds in our jotters. Mrs Gordon can’t believe how well we can form our letters!

In numeracy we were learning about number 3 and 4, we found those quite tricky to write! In maths we learnt about 2D shape.  We had great fun doing a shape hunt around the classroom.

We had our first French lesson this week with our friend Camembear! We loved seeing him and learnt to say bonjour and au revoir. We also were able to reply to “Comment t’appelles tu?” , “Je m’appelle…” with our names. Bravo!

Bon weekend from Mrs Gordon and P1a

Dates for the diary – P1 Curriculum Evening Wed 18th Sept 6pm P1 Classroom

What a great first full week in P1 for everyone. This week we were very busy getting used to our new routines and activities.

On Monday we had 2 rabbits (battery powered) visit us from the SSPCA. We had to learn all about how to take care of them and did a role play scenario of taking rabbits to the vets. We really enjoyed learning how to hold rabbits properly and being vets!

This week we started our first sounds ‘a’ and ‘t’. We loved the jolly phonics songs of ants on my arm, and when I watch the tennis match. Everyone manged to do their first piece of writing too where we practised the letter formation of a and t. Mrs Gordon was very impressed. We also used the magnetic boards to make our first word – at.

In numeracy we learnt all about numbers 0 and 1. The stories of greedy zero and penguin one helped along the way. We worked hard at forming these numbers too and went on a number hunt looking for them in the classroom.

We did some art this week and made a great display about the three little pigs, this was linked to our construction theme. We have a tuff tray where we can try to build houses out of bricks, straw and sticks for the 3 little pigs.

Happy weekend from Mrs Gordon and P1a.

We made it – our first full week in Primary 1! We are getting very good at our routines and we are SUPER excited about all of our learning!

In Phonics we have been learning our first sounds – a and t. Here is a link to our Phonics song that we sing at the start of every Phonics lesson:

This week we did our first ever piece of work in our jotters. We practised forming a and t correctly.

a – around the apple and down  the leaf

t – down the tower and across the tower

We know to draw our pictures in pencil and take our time to colour inside the lines. Mrs Bell was very impressed with our work!

In Numeracy we have been learning about the number 0 and the number 1. Here is a song we sing to practise counting forwards and backwards to 10:

In Health and well-being we have been learning about one of our school values – kindness. We call kind actions ‘warm fuzzies’ and unkind actions ‘cold pricklies’. We had lots of ideas for how we could give out warm fuzzies, for example – asking someone if they would like to play, smiling at someone and sharing our toys. We talked about cold pricklies such as hitting or using unkind words and how getting a cold prickly makes us feel. We are going to try hard to give out lots of warm fuzzies at school and at home too!

Today some very confident children sat at the front of the class and presented their show and tells. We were a good audience and asked lots of questions.

Have a great weekend when it gets here!

What a fabulous start to P1 for us. We have already learnt so much in just 2 and a half days….

Our main focus this week has been on adjusting to our new environment, class and teacher. We have been learning about the school rules and Mrs Gordon was very impressed with how quickly we are following those rules.

We had a tour of the school and learnt where important places like the office and the lunch hall were.

We have been on a secret mission making some things for a time capsule that we will open at the end of P1, we will have to keep you in suspense until June next year…

Our buddies have been a fantastic help this week. They have helped us play at break and lunchtimes and have helped us collect and tidy away our lunch. We also had buddy time today which we will have each week. This week we did outdoor play which was a lot of fun.

We also had some fun with Cosmic Yoga on Thursday. Everyone joined in and really enjoyed imagining being under the sea.

Next week we will continue to learn about the values of our school and become more independent as we go for break and lunch on our own.

Happy weekend, Mrs Gordon and P1a

A very warm welcome to all of the new Primary 1 children who have started at Springfield Primary this week! We are all settling in well and enjoying exploring our new classroom. Mrs Bell says we are all stars!

Well we are getting ready to move on to Primary 2 and met our new teacher Miss Muir on Thursday afternoon. We really enjoyed getting to know her. We also met our P2 pals and had fun playing outside with them. They will be our buddies during P2.

In numeracy we have been revising our numbers to 20 and doing more practise with counting in 2’s and 3’s and odd and even numbers. Next week we will do our numbers to 20 assessment to see what we can remember.

In literacy we were looking at poetry and rhyming. We are reading poetry books in class and looking out for rhyming words. We are writing our weekend diary each week and are really improving the length and quality of our sentences.

In PE Mrs Gordon got out the wall bars and we had great fun climbing up them and trying out the monkey bars.

We had our last NYCOS (National Youth Choir of Scotland ) session this week, and we have absolutely loved singing, playing games and learning rhymes and rhythm.

Happy weekend and good luck to everyone that is in the Gala Day!

Mrs Gordon and P1a.
