Congratulations Primary 1 on two fantastic performances. With so many pupils and staff being absent due to sickness in the last couple of weeks and for the shows, you did amazingly well to ‘stand in’ for each other and keep the show going. Well done!
Thank you to the family and friends who were able to attend yesterday’s show, we hope you enjoyed it. Thank you also for helping the pupils to practise the songs at home as it made such a difference to their confidence.
Thank you to Mrs Swan for our costumes, Colin and Ms Macauley for supporting the pupils during the rehearsals and also to Miss Appleby, Mr Madine, Mrs Wilson and Ms Robertson for helping out during the show and to Ms McEwan and Mrs Mancey for helping with refreshments.
We will be performing to the school children on Wednesday 11am this week and to parents and family on Thursday at 2pm. Your child should wear normal school uniform on these days. If not already wearing, please bring a plain black/grey trousers/leggings and a white top – long or short sleeved. All costumes are provided for the pupils. We look forward to performing for you!
Snow fun
primary 1 took the opportunity to enjoy the short snow fall, writing our names, shapes and patterns in the snow and expanding our science vocabulary – snow, melt, ice, freeze, wet, cold!
Word building
primary 1 are increasing their confidence in building and reading words. Most children are now reading short stories and sounding out CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant e.g cat, dog). In the activity below, pupils choose a card and build that word, before independently photographing it as evidence.
Please provide your child with a small snack and water bottle every day including Fridays as we do not have spare snacks.
Please note that fruit juice cartons and flavoured milk are not recommended. If you would like your child to have a carton of milk, please sign up through parent pay.
Take a moment
Our next Building Resilience topic is Take a Moment. Please see the information below.
The outcome that we will be aiming for is to… Be aware of how routines and events in the world link with times and seasons, and to explore ways to record and display these using clocks, calendars and other methods.
We start with asking what phrases, objects or words we know…
“Enough time”, Mustapha
“One at a time”, Zoe
“Time for School”, Mohamed
“Cleaning your mess takes a long time”, Aiden
“10 o’clock”, Mohamed
“Watch” Sidrah
“Birthday, when I’m 5, then I’m 6…” Aiden
“In daytime I play with friends” Mustapha
What happens at night-time? “Hedgehogs, foxes, owls, Harry Potter fighting Voldemort” Aiden and Mustapha
“It is 9:59. One minute until 10 o’clock” Daniel
We covered what creates daytime and nighttime
…and brought in a dark tent and torch to move Pudsey into daytime and nighttime on the Earth.
Clock Work
To help space out the numbers when writing a clock, we write the 12, 6, 3 and 9 first, then fill in the missing numbers. We are writing and reading o’clock times on digital and analogue clocks.
