Welcome to Primary 1
Welcome to P1!
We have been settling into the new routine of school life so well. Miss Stinson has been so proud of how brave the boys and girls have been.
Language and Literacy
In Literacy, we have been learning through the theme ‘It’s Time to Rhyme.’ The children have been looking at lots of different nursery rhymes and completing activities around them.
We have:
· Built a wall for humpty dumpty using waffle bricks and wooden blocks from our outdoor play equipment.
· Completed fun role-play activities to act out our nursery rhymes.
· Made a get well soon card for Humpty Dumpty.
· Painted pictures of our nursery rhymes.
We are also enjoying our Shared Reading time together and have been learning all about the adventures of Kipper, Biff, Chip, Mum, Dad and Floppy. Our favourite book so far is called ‘The Swing Ball.’ Our favourite part of the story was when the neighbour was cross!
Numeracy
In Numeracy, we have been learning all about the numbers 1-5. We have completed some really fun activities and learnt a handy rhyme to help us with our number formation.
We have been:
· Writing our numbers with chalk on our school playground.
· Writing our numbers in sand.
· Collecting sets of different objects around our school.
· Using natural materials to make our numbers on the playground.
· Singing fun counting songs.
· Painting our numbers using paint sticks.
We are also learning about 2D shapes. So far, we have met Suzy Circle, Sammy Square, Tracey Triangle and Ricky Rectangle!
During our Task Time activities, we have been:
· Using large foam shapes to build shape houses and towers.
· Using the iPad to draw our 2D shapes.
· Playing a ‘sort the presents’ shape game.
· Making lovely shape pictures.
· Sorting shapes.
· Matching shapes using carpet tiles outside in our playground.
· Going on a shape hunt around our school.
