We have been exploring the season of the autumn through variety of experiences. The children were imprinting the leaves they gathered on paper during their play leading us to create an art work using our autumn leaves and using artistic methods of printing. 🍁🖍️

Common Words 🔍🍂

We have been exploring our common words in a variety of ways. We have been looking at finding them in the leaf litter. Looking at how we identify, recognise, say, read and writing them.

Keep practicing these tricky sight words at home as well 😊

We enjoyed our last YMI session. We have loved singing, dancing and enjoying the art of music. All the songs I think will be stuck in our heads for a while. So much fun! 🤩. In P1F we also enjoy going to see the ‘music man’ every Thursday. This is Mr Barr, he is our specialist music teacher 🎶.

I wonder…

If everyone in P1F, could find different 3D shapes in your home or when you are out and about. 📦👀

We are currently learning about 3D shapes🧊. We are discovering the 3D shapes through singing songs and having active discussions in our construction and numeracy areas today 🎁.

Last week we had PC Finlay in. He told us all about what a police officer does. We were all eager to meet him, ask questions about his experiences, uniform and what he does day to day👮‍♀️🚔👮‍♂️. It was lovely to hear from someone who can help us. A change maker in action.

Yorick from YMI has been coming in the past couple of Tuesdays to explore rhythm, pitch and early literacy skills with the children. We have been having so much fun. 🎶🎸🎤

(This was also the day we were making our Christmas cards 😅)

Thank you for going on some lovely autumn treasure hunts. It’s been great hearing the children talking about their experiences. In P1F we have been showing an interest in the trees and how they have been changing colour. Through this we have been discovering lots of new things about autumn & trees🍂.

In numeracy we have been learning how to count, build and write numbers to 10. Through a concrete, pictorial and abstract approach. 🔢

Since starting our SAT PIN sounds we have been looking at these sounds in a variety of ways. We have been sound detectives, using sensory experiences, mark making, singing songs, reading sound stories and using forms of active discussion🍎.

We have had lots of fun exploring new objects from our loose parts and construction area 🚧 🧱🦺.

Hello 👋

I just wanted to make a quick post to say, that someone in our class is missing a water bottle and I am just wondering if it has accidentally went home with someone.

Thanks, Mr F

We have been exploring books from home and in our class book nook area📚. Spreading the joy of reading 😊.

In my P1F era! 🔢🍎📚✨

We have been exploring 2D shapes in P1F 🔵🔺🟩. Some of us have noticed that 2D shapes are found on 3D shape objects🧊.

Yesterday, we were writing about when we feel surprised 😮. We used mirrors to see how we look, when we feel surprised . Then linking this to real life experiences. There was discussion around birthdays, going to the beach, Halloween and Christmas.

We have been writing about, I feel
sad when … ☹️✍️

We were looking at our friends facial features to explore our expressions and how we feel when we experience the emotion of sadness.

In numeracy we have been exploring numbers to 10. Learning how we write them and how they are formed 🔢.

We are currently exploring emotion words and how we feel when we experience these emotions. Focusing on our facial features has supported this exploration 😀. We have been transferring this into our writing. We were writing today about I feel happy when… ✍️

In P1F, we are currently exploring and singing lots of funny nursery rhymes 🎶.

We have settled in really well to Primary 1 🤩. Lots of fun and togetherness 😊.

We are enjoying the sunshine ☀️, whilst developing our gross and fine motor skills. Also, we are learning how to work together through play.
