Welcome to Primary 1!
This year we have a buzzing class of 25 eager little learners; embarking on a very exciting educational journey.
Each day is action packed and full of a variety of lessons both indoor and outdoor.
Have a look on here to get a glimpse of what we have been up to in Literacy, Numeracy and World Around Us each term. Parents and families will also be kept up to date on our class Seesaw App.
Autumn Term Literacy
P1 pupils have successfully completed their first topic of ‘A Time to Rhyme.’ Where lots of nursery rhymes were learned and early phonological skills were developed.
Next up is the topic entitled ‘All About Me’ where we plan to learn lots about ourselves, our families, our bodies and feelings through various stories and poems.
The jolly phonic programme is now well underway where the pupils learn many sounds and word attack skills weekly.
Book handling skills and letter formations are part of the P1 daily practice.
Autumn Term Numeracy
P1 pupils have been very busy since starting school in September. They have been learning the skills of sorting using various criteria.
They moved swiftly on to learning about 2D shapes, where they enjoyed indoor and outdoor shape hunts. They can name and recognise many simple shapes now with the ability to explain some simple properties.
Next up, was the topic of ‘Patterns.’
Pupils identified many repeated patterns and were able to continue and finish patterned objects in sequence. They created gorgeous patterns of their own too, which hang proudly on our classroom walls.
Number practice and oral counting makes up part of our daily numeracy practice too!
Autumn Term World Around Us
Pupils are currently very enthusiastic about learning all about themselves; how their bodies work, how to recognise feelings, keeping healthy and of course being unique.
Lessons included in this particular topic are circle time, art, history and even some cooking. It is really nice to celebrate difference and feel good about sharing information about ourselves, our families and our feelings. Perfect for this time of year as we begin P1.
