Month: August 2019

Here is an overview of the ‘Big Learning’ that the children in Primary 1 will be participate in this term.

The Inverness Courier will be in school on Thursday 29th at 1.30pm to take a group photograph of all of the P1’s. The photo supplement will be published on the 27th September along with all of the other new entrants to school.

We have been learning to read words. We have met Kipper, Biff, Chip and Dad and have been reading short phrases in school ‘Dad and Kipper’ and ‘Biff and Chip’.

Keep practising the words in your yellow books. I can tell you have been working really hard :-).

We have been developing our fine motor skills through all area of the curriculum: cutting and sticking, drawing and colouring, writing and pencil work and ball skills.

In maths we have been using the words ‘same’ and ‘different’ to sort and match into sets.

In PE we have been learning to use our body well with control and practising movements through energetic play. Even in this hot weather!!

We are learning to read words!

We have introduced the character ‘Dad’ along with ‘and’. We have been practising in school each day to recognise and read these words. Have fun at home reading 🙂

As part of our Health and Wellbeing (HWB) our ‘big learning’ is to move our body well in a controlled way and finding and sharing space to stay safe . We will do this through travelling in different ways and controlling objects. We will also be learning to follow instructions and share space during games.

We have a PE session in the hall on Mondays, in the Learning Zone/outdoors on a Tuesday and a trim trail session on a Friday and of course there are lots of opportunities of being outdoors when the weather is nice. We will not get changed every time we do a PE/HWB session but we will try to practise once a week and hopefully you will find the right clothing on your child! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

P 1- 3 Running club starts back on Thursday 29th August 12-12.30.

Remember your Trainers, Water bottle and Packed Lunch and meet at the all weather area at 12 noon.

This club will run as long as the weather is dry.

Today children will take home their word/sound books so that they can show you all of their great learning in reading. We will put these into their blue homework book bags and any letters or information will also be put in here. Don’t worry if you do not have a homework bag any books or letters will be put into school bags. The office now have plenty blue book bags in stock if you wish to purchase one at the cost of £5. Please can children take their word/sound books to school each day either in their book bags or school bags. Many thanks for your help and support 🙂

Oh my – just look at these!
