We are learning to blend sounds to build words.

Try our some of these games on Topmarks to practise identifying and using sounds.

Garden Leaves

Hanging Monkeys

The Painting Game

Numeracy

We are learning to identify coins and add coins together to make a given value.

Try the Coin Game. Select the counting tab and this will let you practise adding coins together.

Take your piggy bank out and use the coins to make a shop at home. We are going to do this next week in school! What will we need to make a shop?

Handwriting

We are leaning to form letters correctly.

We are finishing the Curly Caterpillar letters this week, working hard on f and e.

One of the skills we are working on this term is ‘Representing our Class’.

The children told me that we represent our class when we…

are kind to others, we help our friends if they fall, we go on a message for Mrs Fowler, we collect money for Children in Need, we speak up for our class, we act nicely, we behave really well if we are out of the class.

Really proud teachers! 🙂 Well done Primary 1

No new reading books this week as it is a short week BUT we are still learning lots of reading skills and having fun and enjoying books!

We are building our comprehension skills and using clues to help us understand what we read.

Today we were thinking about making connections with ourselves and with other texts we have read.

we make connections we ask questions:

-What does this make me think about?

-What does this remind me of?

-I think…?

-I remember…?

Have a go at home when you are sharing a book together. Can you think about making connections to your own experiences or to a text you have already read?

We are having great fun reading, writing and counting with Bookbug! Look out for the Primary 1 Book Pack coming home with children on Wednesday 20th November. There will be lots of great books, ideas and activities to engage your child in learning.
