2024 in Primary 1 so far

Ms.Brunner

What a busy start to the year!

Take a look at all the things we have been up to:

Primary 1 has been working hard on adding two collections together! We even started to write additions down! 🙂

Boys and girls especially like practising on IPads – these are some of the games they enjoyed:

We loved having Families came to play and learn together! 🙂

Primary 1 had fun at the local library and chose a book each to bring back to our classroom! We can’t wait to swap them soon and maybe even bring a book home!

Collaborative learning in literacy and gaining confidence with our tricky words:

In PE we started gymnastics and focused on carrying equipment safely. We practised various ways of travelling and making shapes:

Primary 1 are very enthusiastic about our SCOTLAND topic! We went to see Greyfriars’s Bobby!

Primary 1 did so very well making Nessie clay monsters!

We had a special visitor who told us all about Lunar New Year celebrations and customs!

Enjoying playing together!

We are excited about our trip to Edinburgh Castle in February

and are curious what Primary 1 chooses to focus on for our Science topic:

See you soon! 🙂

Mental Agility

Ms.Brunner

Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely holiday and are feeling motivated for the new term! 🙂

We will begin this term with the red level of Mental Agility and

Please find attached activities we will be covering in class!

As always this will also be our Numeracy homework!

Thank you for all your support at home!

PRIMARY 1:

Early Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backDownload

PRIMARY 2,3 and 4:

First Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backwardsDownload

PRIMARY 5, 6 and 7:

Second Level 1 Red Counting forwards and backwardsDownload

One of the most important skills in numeracy is to be able to count forward and backward.

It is vital to not always start at 1:

  • Can you count in 1s starting from 3?
  • Can you skip count in 10s starting from 50?
  • Can you count backwards in1s from 98?

Lots of games, taking turns counting or passing an object can make it fun and part of your daily routine!

Catchy songs can help fluency too:

Times tables practice is also crucial:
