Hello everyone, here is our news update!
Literacy
Adam “This week we have learning the k sound.”
Emileigh- Rose “The k sounds is short and bouncy.”
Emilie- “The k sound is yellow because we make the k sound at the back of our mouths and we have to use the yellow torch to see how we raise the back of our tongues to the back of the mouth.”
Shay “We also learned the ck sound.”
Lucy- “We have learned that c and k joined together makes 1 sound.”
We understand that the ck sound is at the end of a word.
Connor- Kick
Isla- pick
Shakti – “When we write the ck sound we join the letters together.”
Can you think of anymore?
We have been reading words and making words with these sounds. We have been discussing the beginning, middle and end sound in each word.
Use a torch to see how we make this sound at the back of our mouths.
It is important to remember not to say ‘ki’.
Listen to the songs at home…

We loved our trip to the library this week, we listened to a story and then we got to chose a book to take back to the classroom. We took one of our books to Milk and story with the nursery on Friday. We chose to take a book called ‘One Button Benny’ which Shay picked at the library, this book has actually been shortlisted for the Bookbug 2019 prize!
Here is a link to the story so you can listen to it at home.
We pretended we were robots and traveled in different robotic ways around the hall.
In writing this week we wrote fabulous emails back to Harry to tell him all about our favourite part of Primary 1. We have asked the Primary 7’s if they could maybe help us type up our emails to send to Harry.
In numeracy this week we have been learning how to order numbers to 10 and how to find the missing number In a sequence to 10. Over on our twitter page you might have seen some of the fun activities we completed to order our numbers and find the missing number.
You could also be challenged to look at a set of numbers within 10 or 20 for a challenge and discuss which number in the set is the smallest or the largest.
We have been playing this game with Miss Boyes to identify the smallest and largest number. If you want to play at home chose- numbers, ordering, to 10 or to 20 for a challenge.

We are all so amazing at counting down from 10 and can do this with confidence now.
We love the big number song and for a challenge Miss Boyes will pause it at different numbers and ask us which number comes before and after.
In RE we discussed how our gifts and talents come from God. Miss Boyes loved hearing about all of our talents and what a talented bunch we are!
We loved our Buddy Mass, it was such a lovely morning and lovely to see P1B and their buddies celebrate mass together.
For European Day of Languages Miss Boyes asked Miss McCormack if we could team up with Primary 7 to research a European country. This went amazingly well and each group found out the capital city, flag, population and how to say ‘Hello’. We loved drawing the flags and saying Hello to our friends in different languages.
Wow another busy week indeed for P1B!
We hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
Miss Boyes and P1B
Emilie has been having fun this weekend showing me that she can count to 100 ( with a little help). Another fun filled week 😀
Another fab update thanks. Liam and Connor really enjoyed their time with P7 and the topic.
Great! It’s lovely to hear that the children are sharing their learning at home 🙂
