Welcome to our Primary 1 class page.
Term 2
Primary 1 have worked hard during Term 1 and I am sure that this will continue during Term 2.
Literacy
We are halfway through our block of single sounds and common words. Primary 1 have been working on letter formation, identifying words that start with their sounds, blending, reading and making simple CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant). During Term 2, we will be working on writing some simple sentences independently.
We have started our reading programme, and the children have been thoroughly enjoying their new books and completing comprehension tasks on these.
During our writing sessions we have been developing our black line drawings where we have been building on our detail within these drawings. The children have been extending this task by writing their sentence starters independently. They have been very engaged with this added challenge.
We are also currently working on Narrative, where we have been describing a range of literary characters.
Numeracy
Primary 1 have been learning about numbers to 10 and how they can be represented. We have completed our addition block and are nearing the end of subtraction. The children have been very engaged during these sessions and have enjoyed their addition and subtraction tasks. The children have been using practical resources and some mental strategies to answer different calculations. We will be moving onto numbers to 20 shortly.
We have been working through our Problem Solving programme where the children have been working on their team work skills to solve different problems and create solutions.
The children have enjoyed our blocks on 2D shape, 3D shape, pattern and symmetry and have been very engaged whilst using practical resources to complete their activities.
Health and Wellbeing
Primary 1 have been enjoying their gymnastics block where we have been working on body shapes, rolls and using apparatus.
Primary 1 have also been taking part in a P.E. session organised by the pupils from the high school. They have been enjoying participating in a range of games and activities.
The children have been working on Emotion Works and are able to identify a range of emotion words, emotional triggers and body sensations. We will be moving onto the green cog where we will be identifying the behaviours for different emotions.
Topic
Primary 1 thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Milton’s history as part of our 100-year centenary. They created wonderful pieces of artwork and a timeline to note the important events within the school and the local community.
We have started our new topic of ‘People Who Help Us’ which we will be doing with Primary 2. The children have been learning about who helps us in school and their jobs. We will be learning about the police, fire brigade, dentist and doctors.
