Our second outdoor learning afternoon

 

Primary One had a second outdoor learning afternoon before the October holidays!  Have a look at some of the things we've been doing... 

 

We have been learning about animals who hibernate in the autumn.  We learnt the "Harry the Hedgehog" song.  Mrs Macdonald drew a big Harry outside and we covered him with leaves and twigs!

We hope to have another outdoor day soon!

Look what we can do!

 

The boys and girls in Primary One have been very busy learning their sounds.  By the end of the week, we will know a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,t,u and v!

 

 

The boys and girls have been using these magnetic boards to practise their sounds and make three letter words (sometimes called CVC words - consonant, vowel, consonant words - e.g. cat, leg, dip, mop, mum).  

 

 

 

Last week we made some fishy f pictures.  We practised writing f and had to remember the tail of the f.  Do you like our pictures?

Outdoor learning afternoon fun

Today, Primary 1 went outside for the afternoon to take part in some outdoor learning!

Mrs Macdonald played lots of games with half of the class. We played duck, duck, goose, ran around and had lots of fun!

Miss Campbell's group looked for words hidden in the playground. The words started with letter p, n, t or a. Then the boys and girls in Primary 1 had to decide which hoop they belonged in.

 

We went on a scavenger hunt to find different things.  One of the cards said “make a pattern with leaves and stones”.  Haven’t the girls done well?

Some of the boys made a triangle using sticks.  Can you count how many sticks they used?

We used paint and chalk to practise our letters and numbers.

 

 

Everyone had lots of FUN!

Learning our letters!

This week, P1 have started to learn how to read some letters!

We spent two days looking at a then two days looking at t.  The boys and girls have done really well at drawing their as and ts on their worksheets, and today they used their jotters for the first time.  What lovely work!

We have also been learning about the characters from the Oxford Reading Tree and have read some stories with Miss Campbell and Mrs Macdonald.  Some of the P1s can now read the words Kipper, Biff, Chip, Mum, Dad and Floppy!  Well done Primary 1!

We have been doing lots of counting games, and have been learning about writing 0, 1 and 2.

Next week we are having an outdoor learning afternoon.  Miss Campbell and Mrs Macdonald can't wait!

Literacy Areas

 

 

In our classroom we also have lots of areas to encourage us to read and write.

Here we can practise writing on whiteboards and paper, and we can stick letters and numbers on to the board.

Our writing will be displayed on this wall.

 

We read in the library.  There are lots of books.

 

 

 

What is your favourite book?

Our Maths Area

 

 

The Primary One teachers have been busy making your classroom an exciting and colourful place to work in. This is the maths area. We can use the hats to practise counting from 0 to 10. We can also write on the special boards on the wall and practise writing our numbers and drawing shapes.

We can also count using different objects, including teddies and fish. We can make patterns using the beads, fish or teddies.

Learning about numbers and shapes is lots of fun!!

Primary One at St Cuthbert’s have been really busy since they started school last week.  They have drawn lovely pictures of their first day at school and written their names on their pictures.  We’ve learned about all of the different colours, and have been trying to learn the Polish words for the colours too.  We have also practised drawing around our hands and then cutting carefully with scissors.

 

The boys and girls have been learning about sitting nicely and putting their hands up when they want to speak.  They have been doing lots of playing, and are getting very good at tidying up quickly.  Well done Primary One!

 

Primary One all come for full days from Monday 26^th August onwards.  They will start at 8.55am, have lunch in the dinner hall with the big boys and girls, and leave at 3.00pm.

 

Mrs Macdonald and I are looking forward to having you at school all day next week!
