Welcome to Primary 1/2

Come and have a look at what we have been learning about with Mrs Galbraith and Mrs Walker!

Literacy

Primary 1/2 have been very busy so far this term! Primary 1 are working hard on learning their sounds. So far we have been mastering the sounds S A T I P N. We have even managed to sound out some words using all of our new sounds - we are so clever! Primary 2 have been practising our trickier sounds that we learned in P1 and we have been trying to sound out some CVC words using magnetic letters. As part of our learning we have been hunting for sounds in sparkly sand and writing our common words in squishy squashy paint bags! We are having so much fun in Primary 1/2!

Numeracy

Primary 1/2 LOVE learning about numbers! So far this term, we have been hearing about all the different animals in the Number Zoo: Penguin One; Ticklish Two: Butterfly Three; Feathery Four; Frisky Five; Snappy Six; Spotty Seven; Naughty Nine and Tiger Ten! What a lot of numbers we have to remember! We have also been busy with some active maths games such as making playdoh numbers and using paint to help us form the numbers correctly.

Social Subjects

We have been learning about People Who help Us this term. We took a visit to the Doctor's Surgery and we got to explore all the different areas! We sat in the waiting room and waited until it was our turn to see the doctor. We even got to sit in the doctor's chair and have a shot of the stethoscope! The nest time we are feeling poorly, we won't be worried about visiting the surgery!

Health and Wellbeing

Term 1 has been all about eating healthily and taking care of our bodies. Primary 1/2 listened to the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and we talked about all the healthy and unhealthy things that the Caterpillar ate. We all agreed that he felt better when he ate fruit and vegetables...and so do we! We are trying to remember to eat lots of healthy fruit and veg and keep sweeties as crisps for a treat. With this in mind, Primary 1/2 are going to try to bring healthy snacks to school as it helps us to concentrate on our work and makes our brains work much harder! WE LOVE TO EAT HEALTHILY!
