What a busy week we’ve had in Primary 1M  this week. We have been learning more sounds as part of our Phonics lessons and are delighted that we can now read and write some CVC words.  In Maths we have investigated 2D shapes and their properties. Perhaps you could have a 2D shape hunt at home or on the way home from school! We made Halloween bats out of our hands in Art and enjoyed sharing what we were dressing up as if we were going guising on Monday. During indoor PE we were practising throwing and catching using chest passes and overhead passes, for outdoor PE on Tuesday we learned how to play a game called ‘Farmer Farmer may we cross your golden river.’

Keep up the super effort with your homework-what a delight looking through your homework workbooks and jotters.

P1M are currently learning from an author and illustrator duo, Tracey Corderoy and Steven Lenton.

Tracey and Steven are talking about their hilarious picture book series, Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam. We have tuned in to hear a reading of Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam and are learning how to draw the characters in the live draw-along!

Having fun in Primary 1!

What a busy week we’ve had.

Dressing up as firefighters and acting out different emergency situations was very exciting but we know only to call 999 in a real emergency.

We made very special Halloween cards to help boost the morale of soldiers.  We hope they will like our spooky witches!

Phonics is now underway-we learned our first two sounds-s and a.  Mrs McKay was delighted with our homework.

Some activities to help us remember our new sounds included making springy snakes and amazing alligators!

Learning in P1M

We were delighted to find out that we had the most prefect points this week.  It was good having the playground to ourselves-Cameron.

We did some magic with crayons and black paint to make special picture frames for our first day at school photos-Max.

I enjoyed making a Halloween card-my hand was covered in green paint.  It looked crazy!-Cory.

I made a zig zag book telling the story of The Rainbow Fish.  I managed to write the numbers on my pictures so that I knew where I had to put them in my book-Elsa.

Getting ready for Gym

PE in P1M

PE in P1M

We have impressed Mrs McKay when getting ready for Gym lessons.  We learned how to dress our chairs to try to keep all of our clothes together.

Some children are still finding T-shirts a bit fiddly-encouraging your child to unbutton and button T-shirts at home would be a big help!  Some children are asking for help when their clothes are inside out, perhaps they could work on this at home too.

Have a lovely long weekend, see you all on Wednesday.
