Wow 🤩

What a fantastic first term we have had in Primary 1S, lots of learning and lots of fun had by all.  Everyone should be proud of their achievements, Miss Stenhouse is super proud of everyone!

This week we have been learning new sounds and have been working on verbally blending sounds together to make words. In maths we have been build numbers in different ways as well as trying to write them down.

Every Monday we attend a school assembly, at assembly and in class we have been learning the 7 habits of being a leader. This week our focus was Habit 3, think Win – Win. We did really well at working together to complete our Win -Win paper characters.

Thursday we enjoyed outdoor learning, we were out in the school garden harvesting more potatoes and identifying insects 🐜  🕷️ 🐞 .

we took the potatoes back to class and washed them to take home. We talked about how we like to eat potatoes 🥔, mashed, chips, roasted and in soup.

We have had another super learning week in Primary 1S, what a great learning team we are.

A visit to the school garden resulted in lots of vegetables found. We were all super excited to find out what was growing under the soil. Carrots, potatoes, leeks and onions were all found.

We took all our vegetables back to our classroom to share them out to take home. We then cleaned  the vegetables and chopped them up to make soup in the classroom.

We had soup with bread and butter, some of us loved the soup and some of us did not like it but that’s okay as we all like different things. Everyone enjoyed washing, peeling and chopping the vegetables, even if we didn’t want to taste the soup.

Everyone is doing very well learning how to use some of the technology we have in the classroom. The focus has been logging into the iPads independently and scanning QR codes. We all did very well!

For our topic we are thinking “all about me”, how old we are, our names, how we are unique and special and how we all belong to a family, our family at home and our school family. We have created lovey family pictures.

Books are amazing and we are trying to develop a reading culture in the class and although we cannot read yet we are very good at looking at pictures in books and thinking about what the story could be. Reading for enjoyment 📚😀

Have a lovely weekend!

Another super week in P1s.

We have been learning all about our rights!

We are very proud at St Mary’s to be a Rights Respecting School silver award holder. In Primary 1 we have been focusing on five rights:

Article 1 – Everyone under 18 has these rights.

Article 2 – All children have these rights.

Article 3 –  Adults must do what is best for me.

Article 19 – I have the right to be protected from being hurt or badly treated.

Article 31 – I have the right to relax and play.

We have also been learning about our school values, we have been focusing on being respectful and all agreed to  try hard to follow them. We know that our school values are on our school badge and we have them on our class wall.

At PE we have been learning lots of new skills while having fun!

On top of all our learning we have also had time to have fun outdoors and using loose parts and messy play.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!
