Thank you for the many positive responses to our survey so far. If you have not yet completed the survey, please do so by Tuesday 1st October.

Please check this blog every Friday as we will share the learning from the week. We would encourage you to look at it with your child so that they can talk to you about their experiences in class. The blog will also include this week’s ‘homework’ activities.

We may also share other information via the blog during the week, so you may wish to set up an alert for new posts.

Our learning this week



Here are some photographs of us developing our skills through our independent learning opportunities and experiences this week. Please take time to share these photographs with your child so they can share their learning with you.


Literacy focus

This week we have continued revising and assessing the children’s ability to recognise and use the letters s, a, t p, i and n. For most children, the skill of blending sounds together to read a word is trickier than building it themselves and many of us still need to master this skill. Please continue to support your child at home to practise

When revising these sounds at home please always use the pure sound of the letter (e.g. sssssss and not suh or the letter name Ess ). As we begin to use our knowledge of letter sounds to blend and build words to read and write, not using the correct pure sound can make things tricky for us. If you would like further explanation please just ask at the door.

Our storytelling prompt this week was “My hair was blowing when”

Maths and numeracy

Our focus skill this week has been subitising. There are activities listed below in the homework section.

In P1 we use the SEAL programme ( Stages of Early Arithmetical Learning) which promotes number literacy. Pupils will be learning skills and strategies appropriate to their current stage of development. This includes ( but is not limited to) recognising numerals to 10, 20 and beyond; counting forwards and backwards in sequence; counting objects with accurate 1-1 correspondence; ascribing numerosity to random arrays, spatial and finger patterns; counting two seen/unseen collections; describing and creating equal groups; partitioning patterns and numbers.


Other areas of the Curriculum

.

This week, pupils have shown an interest in learning about Narwhals.

We also had a visit from a spectacularly large spider (the children named it Sam) and we have found out some spider facts and read the story Aaargh Spider.

PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Children should come to school dressed ready to participate as we will not change clothes in school -e.g joggers/leggings/shorts and a T shirt with a Buckstone jumper on top.

As far as the weather will allow , Thursday PE will take place outdoors until October so outdoor shoes on that day would ideally be trainers if possible..

Looking ahead to next week

Loose parts learning on Tuesday 1st October

Parent consultation meetings Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Homework

Literacy

Spelling homework should ideally be done in several short sessions across the week . (5-10 minutes 4 times a week will have a huge impact)

Adult write the lowercase letters s, a, t and p, i and n on individual pieces of paper ( or can use magnetic letters if you have them)

Task 1.

Using the letter cards, the adult can build the following words

  • sat
  • pat
  • at
  • tap
  • pin
  • pan
  • nap
  • nip
  • ( challenge spelling words) pants, past


The child should pronounce each sound as the pure sound, then blend the sounds together to read the word. This is the skill that most children find the trickiest.

Task 2

The adult should say one of the spelling words and the child uses the cards to build the word by fining the sound at the start, the sound in the middle, the sound at the end.

You may wish to keep the letter cards you make as we will be adding more sounds for spelling homework next week.

Other literacy activities

Play this game on a phone or tablet. Choose the ‘initial sounds’ option first please .

Numeracy

Practise the skill of subitising. Subitising is the ability to quickly and accurately determine the number of objects in a small group without counting them. arrange a small number of items under a piece of paper, then remove the paper for a few seconds ( not enough time to count) and re-cover. Ask how many were there? Start with regular dice patterns to 6, then extend to organised arrays up to 10, then introduce random arrays.

There is also a game here which we have been using in school which your child may want to show you. Choose the ‘game’ option – then the blue dice lead to the subitising activity. We also enjoy watching this short video which helps us to practise the subitising skill in different ways

All children acquire numeracy skills at different rates, so the homework activities are skills to practise. If your child finds it easy, increase the level of challenge by adjusting the range of number (eg, work within 10, up to 20, up to 50 etc)

  • say the number AFTER a given number ( What comes after 7 ?) Children should answer quickly without the need to count from 1
  • say the number BEFORE a given number
  • explore teen numbers. e.g 11 = 10 and 1, 12 = 10 and 2. 13 is ten and how many more ?
  • count forwards and backwards
  • count a random collection of moveable or fixed items accurately with 1-1 correspondence.

LITERACY

This week, we’ve been revising and assessing our knowledge of the sounds we’ve learned so far: s, a, t, p, i, n. Our focus has been on blending these sounds to read CVC words, such as “pat.”

When practicing these sounds at home, please ensure you are using the pure sound of each letter (for example, avoiding adding an “i” sound to make them “ti” or “pi”). If you’d like further clarification, feel free to speak with one of us at the end of the day.

We completed a writing activity based on the prompt, “My hair was blowing in the wind when…”

Home learning options:

Here are some engaging activities that you can do at home to help revise the sounds.

Sound Hunt:

  1. Ask your child to go on a “sound hunt” around the house. They can find objects or pictures that start with the sounds s, a, t, p, i, or n (e.g., s for sock, a for apple, t for toy).

CVC Word Building:

  • Use magnetic letters, letter cards, or just pen and paper to help your child build simple CVC words like sat, pin, tap, etc., using the sounds s, a, t, p, i, and n. This reinforces building and blending skills.

Sound Writing Practice:

  • Practice writing the letters s, a, t, p, i, and n in fun ways. You could use finger paints, chalk outside, or trace them in a tray of salt or sand.

MATHS AND NUMERACY

In P1, we use the SEAL programme (Stages of Early Arithmetical Learning), which promotes number literacy and helps children experience and understand numbers at their own pace and level. The key skills we focus on include:

  • Recognising numerals to 10, 20, and beyond
  • Counting forwards and backwards in sequence
  • Counting objects with accurate 1-to-1 correspondence
  • Ascribing numerosity to random arrays, spatial, and finger patterns
  • Counting two seen/unseen collections
  • Describing and creating equal groups
  • Partitioning patterns and numbers

Here are some photos of the children engaging in independent learning activities.

In PE, we have been exploring how to move at different speeds and have started learning about various multi-skills.

Looking ahead to next week:

On Tuesday, we will be having loose parts play with the other P1 class. It would be helpful if all children could have appropriate clothing and footwear for this. Thank you 😊

Enjoy your weekend everyone. 😊

Hello everyone, this is what we have been learning this week.

LITERACY

This week we have been revising all the sounds we have learned so far: s a t p i n.

When revising these sounds at home please always use the pure sound of the letter.(Please don’t add an i to the sounds to make them ti and pi). As we begin to blend and build words to read and write, not using the correct pure sound can make things tricky for us. If you would like further explanation, please speak to one of us at the end of the day.

We read My Big Shouting Day by Rebecca Patterson and told a story through our drawings about a time when we were shouting.

THINGS TO DO AT HOME

Spelling homework should ideally be done in several short sessions across the week. (5-10 minutes 4 times a week will have a huge impact).

Adult write the lowercase letters we have covered on individual pieces of paper ( or magnetic letters if you have them).

Task 1

Using the letter cards, the adult can build the following words

sat

pat

at

tap

pin

pan

nap

nip

( challenge- pants past)

The child should pronounce each sound as the pure sound, then blend the sounds together to read the words.

Task 2

The adult should say one of the spelling words and the child uses the cards to build the word by finding the sound at the start, the sound in the middle, the sound at the end.

Please keep the cards you have made as we will be adding more sounds in the future.

You could play this game using a phone or a tablet. Please choose the ‘initial sounds’ option first.

Count forwards and backwards.

Count a random collection of moveable or fixed items accurately with 1-1 correspondence.

INDEPENDENT LEARNING

The children have been developing their skills through independent learning opportunities in class. Here are just a few photographs of what they have been doing.

PE

In PE we were playing some warmup games and learning to move at different speeds and levels in a designated space.

‘OUR BUCKSTONE’ TOPIC

We have been chatting about our address and talking about the number of our houses.

LOOSE PARTS

The children are really enjoying loose parts play and are working well with their peers to build, create and investigate. The next day for loose parts will be Tuesday 1st October. Please can you make sure that your child has clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. Waterproofs and wellies would be ideal but old scruffy clothes will do just as well.

OTHER PRIMARY ONE MATTERS

Please bring in any clean recycling for the children to use in our STEM  area.

Please make sure your child has a change of clothes in case they get wet or muddy. Can these items of clothing  be named and kept in school in a bag. If your child has to change their clothes and takes the wet/dirty items home, please make sure they are replaced the next day.

We have a purple jumper which has been left in class for a few days now. It does not have a name on it, please come and ask one of us if you think it might belong to your child.

Any donations of plastic bags would be really useful for taking home artwork or wet clothes, thank you.

PHOTOGRAPHS 25.9.24

Individual and sibling photographs are due to be taken on Wednesday 25 September. We realise that this is a PE day but please dress your child in school uniform that day and we will adapt our PE activities.

We are very happy to speak to parents at the end of the day to discuss any issue concerning your child. We are not able to talk to parents in the morning as we have to supervise the children as they come in ready to start their day. Thank you for your understanding.

Have a lovely weekend.

  • Recognising numerals up to 10, 20, and beyond
  • Counting in both forward and backward sequences
  • Counting objects with precise one-to-one correspondence
  • Identifying and understanding quantities in random arrays, spatial arrangements, and finger patterns
  • Counting two sets of items, whether visible or hidden
  • Describing and creating equal groups
  • Partitioning numbers and patterns

Our goal is to establish a solid foundation in numeracy through these targeted activities.

Please name all items of clothing, but crucially cardigans, sweatshirts and coats. The children frequently remove cardigans and sweatshirts in the classroom/gym hall, and it can be impossible to reunite them the rightful owner if they are unnamed. Similarly for coats which are often left behind in the playground – if it is named it means it can be taken directly to class.

The un-named grey TU cardigan (age 3) remained unclaimed so has gone to the general lost property box . We now also have a purple sweatshirt fabric cardi, from Asda ( aged 4/5). This will make its way to general lost property on Monday.

Play ‘I spy for t and p’.

Look for numbers in the environment(buses, shop prices, house numbers)- if single digit numbers are easy, look for teen numbers.

INDEPENDENT LEARNING

The children have been developing their skills through independent learning opportunities in class. Here are just a few photographs of what they have been doing.

PE

In PE we were playing some warmup games and learning to move at different speeds and levels in a designated space.

‘OUR BUCKSTONE’ TOPIC

On Tuesday P1R and P1S went for a walk around the local area to learn more about their surroundings and discuss the community we live in. As part of this topic, we are going to talk about our addresses. Please can you help your child to learn their address.

LOOSE PARTS

The children really enjoyed their first experience of loose parts play last Monday. The next day for loose parts will be Wednesday 11th September. Please can you make sure that your child has clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. Waterproofs and wellies would be ideal but old scruffy clothes will do just as well.

OTHER PRIMARY ONE MATTERS
