Well I think all of Primary 1B will be spending their weekend sleeping as it’s been one busy week!
We have survived our first full week and days of school and we have done it with lots of smiles.
This week in numeracy we have continued with our number formation and enjoyed forming the numbers 5 and 6.
Our rhymes have been helping us with our formation.
We have also been ordering the numbers to 5 and had to cut and stick the numbers into the correct order in our maths jotter.
This game helped us with our understanding of ordering numbers to 10.

In our number talks/ CLIC session we have been practising our counting using songs. We loved the following songs and really enjoy the actions.
In measure this week we have been learning the language of Largest, smallest and tallest, shortest.
Miss Boyes showed us pictures of different sized dinosaurs, she asked us to circle the largest or the smallest.
Using the dinosaur toys we put them in order from the smallest dinosaur to the largest and largest to the smallest.
We also used the measuring tape to measure our height and we put our friends in height order to experience the concept of measure in a real-life context.
In literacy we have been learning the m and c sounds this week. We know the m is a red sound because we use our lips to make this sound and c is a yellow sound because when we shine the torch in our mouth we can see what the back of our tongue is doing to make this sound. The back of our tongue scrapes the back of our mouth.
We love the following songs which help us with our sounds:

We experienced a writing lesson for the first time this week, our success criteria was to hold our pencil correctly, use the sounds which we know (m and C) and to be able to talk about our writing. We shared our favourite part of primary 1 so far in our writing.
This week we had PE with Mr Mc Curdy and we loved learning to travel around the hall in different ways and play games with the parachute. We had to use really good listening skills in PE this week.
On Friday we drew our own picture of a dinosaur for our topic and then we painted our dinosaur. We done a great job not mixing the paints and even painted the landscape around our dinosaur. Miss Boyes was very impressed with our painting skills and she loved putting our paintings on display.
We loved our tour of the school and visiting all of the teachers and the children in their class. They were all so happy to see us and we almost felt famous. We took a photo of them with our iPad and we will be drawing a picture of them next week.
We paid a visit to the nursery this week to visit the morning and afternoon children, we loved visiting our old friends.
We can’t wait to see our class photo when it is published! J
Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P1B!
