Hello Everyone!
Mrs McKay got in touch with me last night to say that Forth 1 are going to put on a school disco on the radio tomorrow afternoon at 3pm. We thought it might be a fun idea to send in some song requests. We both know how much P1 love to sing and dance 🙂 If you have a request comment on this post and we will send them in.
Have a lovely day x

Good morning P1. I hope you are all well. I am missing working with all of you.
Spring Scavenger Hunt
You can do this on a walk, in the garden or even from your window.
You may wish to draw pictures of the items when you see them.
Good luck! Mrs Grenfell
Some parents might be wondering why some of the sounds your child is learning are written in different colours.
Consonants are presented in different colours depending on what part of the mouth they are made with.
Red – consonant sounds that are red are made with the lips, for example, “m”. Pink is used for quieter mouth sounds, like “f”.
Blue – consonant sounds that are blue are made with the tongue (blue – because of the veins on the tongue), for example, “d”. The letter “t”, for example, is light blue because it is a softer sound.
Yellow – consonant sounds that are yellow are made at the back/roof of the mouth. Imagine you have to shine a torch to see this part of the mouth. Some yellow letters are “h”, “c” and “k”.
Green – these are sounds made with the cheeks, like “j”, “sh” and “ch”.
“x” – is yellow shaded with blue as “x” is made from “k” – yellow + “s” – blue.
Click on the links to see a list of all letters in their corresponding colour and a picture of the mouth with the different colour parts and some of the different sounds.
Colourful Consonants Colour Coding
Vowel sounds are black because they are made with the middle of the mouth (like a dark tunnel).
(For more information on vowels – see post from 26.03.20)
Good morning. No work today!

After reading the story, focus the child’s attention on the illustration of the whole barnyard inside the front cover of the book.
Imagine you are a bird flying over the barnyard. Talk about what you would see below you. Use this to draw a simple map of the barnyard and then mark out the route she takes.
Primary 1 criteria-Your egg must be a nursery rhyme character, you can use paint or pens to decorate it, be as creative as you can.
