This week in Primary 1 we have been looking at different ways to make numbers and talking about why numbers are important, not just in school!

We used tally marks, numicon, ten frames and much more to make our numbers and turn them into posters for our wall.

We ar doing very well in our sounds and it is lovely to here that so many of you are practicing at home.

In music we are working on keeping a beat. To help us with this we used rhythm sticks and boomwackers. We all found this lots of fun.

During play we have been exploring how to use the blocks to build different structures.

Have a lovely weekend.

The first week of cooking club was a huge success, this was sweet week 😋

We made iced biscuits 🍪 we had to follow the instructions to make sure our biscuits turned out the way we wanted them to.

We used lots of skills, mixing, spreading, measuring and had lots of fun  🤩.

It has been another busy week in P2.

We enjoyed seeing Mrs Keenan again for music and could be heard singing at the top of our voices and marching to the beat from the other end of the corridor!

We continued to explore the health and wellbeing indicators.  We are beginning to recognise their importance to our own health and we can link them to some of our Rights.

We have been exploring some more maths vocabulary and can confidently use the phrases less/fewer than and more than.  We are beginning to access our Sumdog accounts so that we can play games and have competitions to support our learning in maths.

We enjoyed another assembly with Miss Pritchard and reported back on how we can spread kindness.  Congratulations to Kendall who won our first certificate of the school year for impeccable listening and always showing the school values.

We can’t wait to do it all again next week!  Have a great weekend!

Another fantastic week in Primary 1!

We have all settled into school very well and we are all keen to learn more and play more! We have a lovey friendly classroom, full of helpers.

We have been focusing on article 2, non discrimination for the UNCRC children’s right of the fortnight. We have shown that we have a good understanding that we all have rights.

In PE we enjoyed a great session with some of the P7 buddies, learning lots of new skills, physical skills as well as listening, following instructions and team work.

At outdoor learning we went on a bear 🐻 hunt, we found all the missing teddy bears 🧸

We have been working hard learning a new sound every day and trying to practice using them as much as we can during the school day. We have also been practicing our numbers which we are trying very hard at.

Another super learning week in Primary 1.

It’s been another full week in P2 and the learning is well underway.   We enjoyed our first assembly of the school year today and got the chance to show off some of our dance moves.

We began our new topic, people who help us and had a hunt around our school to find some staff members that are new to us that we may come across on our St Mary’s journey.

We demonstrated some of the writing skills we learned in P1 during our first writing assessment of the year.

Well done P2 for your hard work and enthusiastic start to the term.

What a fantastic first two weeks in Primary 1. We have all made good friends and have been learning the routines in school. At lunchtime we have done very well sitting independently with our friends and eating our lunch.

Today for the first time we joined in the whole school assembly where we showed great listening skills.

We have enjoyed PE, getting used to going up to the gym hall and following adults instructions as well as being safe.

We have also enjoyed our outdoor learning session, we all enjoyed getting outside and exploring the spaces we have in school.

In class we have been working on sounds and numbers to 5. We have all worked very hard at this.

Primary 1 have also created their class charter, we spoke about our rights and our school values and all agreed we will try our best.

As well as this we have been talking about how we can be a leader, we are following the 7 habits of being effective. We have created our own Leader in me tree in class and had a focus on Habit 1, Be Proactive. We created traffic lights to remind us to Sto and Think and Make Good Choices.

Have a lovely weekend.
