We have been learning about primary colours and secondary colours.
Practise at home: Play this fun game and paint the picture by mixing colours.

Number
We want everyone to be able to count forwards and backwards to 20. Here are 2 videos that we like to bounce along to!
Sequencing numbers. Can you count forward starting on a number that isn’t 1? try this sequencing game https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/caterpillar-ordering. Try sequencing > counting in ones > “1 to 10” or “10 to 1” or go up to 100 if you’re feeling brave!
Ordering numbers- Can you order the caterpillars from the fewest spots to the most spots? https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/ladybird-spots
or the numbers on the caterpillar from smallest to biggest numbers? https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/countingCaterpillar/
Phonics
We now know 6 letters s,a,t,p,i,n. With these letters we can make lots of words!
When we put letters together, they make words. This is a key piece of understanding. Often these words follow the pattern Consonant, Vowel, Consonant. Like cat, tin or sit. These are called CVC words.
Blend
Can you blend the letters together to read these words?
Game
Try making a game like this at home. Can you get all the way around the board?
Try watching the videos below without sound. Can you read the words? Watch again with the sound. Did you get it right?
Writing
We have 3 steps in our writing
- Think about what it is you want to write down. “I went to the park”. It has 5 words.
- Write down the words or sounds you know. Leave a space in between words and put a full stop at the end.
- Now we need to read what has been written
Then… repeat!
Red Words
Red words are also know as tricky words because they cannot be ‘sounded out’. It’s just a case of learn learn learn learning them. The video below is a catchy way to learn red words. We often learn new red words when writing about our weekends, “I went to the park.” , “I went to the swimming pool.”
Choosing
Primary 1 are given lots of independent time called ‘choosing’, where they can choose which area of our classroom to explore. Our ice-cream shop was a huge hit this week. As you can see, pupils were very engaged, practising their fine motor skills, communication and space sharing, making lots of delicious ice creams of many flavours to sell. Our construction area is always popular and P1 are showing some fantastic creativity, planning and problem solving.
