This week we have been learning the ‘wa’ sound. We have been making words with this sound and we have been reading words with this sound. Some of the words that we have made are;
Ross- wash
Erin – wasp
Aidan – water
Paige – was
Daniel – wander
Charlotte – walk
Keep an eye on our class blog to see a video of some of the children practicing their phonics.
P1 Parents & Carers – Scottish Book Trust needs your help!
Every November, Scottish Book Trust gifts a free bag of books to every P1 child in Scotland to help them with their reading, writing and counting and to encourage them to develop a life-long love of books. Scottish Book Trust is asking parents and carers of children in P1 to complete a short online survey about the Bookbug Primary 1 Family Bag. Please click hereto take part in the survey, which shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help us to improve the Bookbug P1 Family Bag in the future and you could win a free bundle of books! The deadline for completing the survey is 10 February 2017
The children in Primary 1 have learned lots about Scotland through our Scottish topic. We have learned a poem called ‘Sair Teeth’ and had a competition in class where each child had the opportunity to recite the poem, Mrs Sutherland and Mrs McKay were very impressed and had great difficulty choosing winners! We have enjoyed finding out about different places in Scotland using the Hamish McHaggis stories. We created our own ‘Whirry Bang’ cars in the classrooms and worked well as a group to explain how our Whirry Bangs were made and why we had selected the items used.
P1M are very proud to introduce Nutty our class squirrel. We had a class vote to choose his name, we think Nutty suits him nicely. One child can take him home each night. We use a random name picker to see who will be next-it is very exciting!
Our Reward Time has taken on a Scottish twist! We sign up for our Reward Time activities at the start of the week and can choose whether to work in the P1M or P1S classroom. It is a great way to mix with children who are not in our class. The children love playing in the Post Office and have been making and writing their own post cards. Some children opted to do some Scottish dancing-it was lots of fun and really tired the children out!
