Welcome to our Primary 1 class page. 












 

Welcome to our Primary 1 class! It’s been wonderful to see the children settling into school life so quickly. Each day begins with a soft start to gently ease the children into their learning, and throughout the day, there are plenty of opportunities for play to support their development. They are learning to follow daily routines with enthusiasm and are already impressing me with their eagerness to learn. I’m excited to watch them grow and discover new things together throughout the year!

During Term 1 we will be focusing on the following: 
 
Literacy 
In Literacy, the children are developing important skills such as phonological awareness, which helps them recognize sounds in words. They are practising writing their names independently, and will soon be learning letter sounds, and working on forming letters correctly. These foundations are building their confidence as young readers and writers! 
 
 
 
Numeracy 
In Numeracy, the children are furthering their ability to recognise, count, and order numbers up to 10. They are also exploring the properties of 2D shapes, developing their ability to identify and describe different shapes around them. These activities help build a strong foundation for their mathematical understanding. 


Health & Wellbeing 
Our P.E. days will be on Monday and Friday. For gym, children should wear a white t-shirt (polo shirts are fine), black shorts, leggings, or joggers, and appropriate shoes. We will also be focusing on developing important social skills and expanding our emotional vocabulary through the Emotion Works programme, helping the children understand and express their feelings confidently.
