Welcome families to our P1hm blog! We have had a fantastic start to our first couple of weeks at school, getting to know each other and our classroom. We have had a lot of new routines to learn and we are quickly becoming more independent! In numeracy we had a number hunt in our classroom, practised ordering numbers 1 to 10 and practised counting forwards and backwards. In Literacy we have learnt about the sounds a, t, i and s and have been doing lots of play activities to develop our fine motor skills. During the afternoons we have been playing freely within the classroom and following our ideas related to school and ‘All about me’. So far, we have been making paper doll cut-outs of people in our school, drawing maps of our school and learning about the jobs other adults do in our school.  Mrs Stewart came to visit us to talk about her job and we have been on a tour of the school as well.  Here are some photographs of our classroom and some of our comments about our first couple of weeks:
