The boys and girls  will continue doing a lot of word building activities and making CVC words this week.

We are continuing to work really hard on our handwriting too. Please do handwriting homework on Monday and Wednesday night.

Please play with your child and encourage them to build their knowledge and understanding around this area of learning.

The children in room 2 had so much fun dooking for apples.

This time we mixed some glycerine with water and poured it on top of our leaves. We placed another tray on top of the leaves and pressed it down. Next week we will find out what has happened to our leaves!  

One of our class members brought in some leaves which she had pressed between the pages of a book. This kept the leaves nice and flat.

Rooms 1 and 2 had lots of fun last Tuesday looking for lots of different coloured Autumn leaves.

Wishing everyone a very happy ‘tattie’ holidays! See you all again on Monday 24th October for term 2!

This week the boys and girls will be learning new sounds.

Here at Abbotswell we use Jolly Phonics to help us learn new sounds. We thought we’d highlight the fact that there is currently a free Jolly Phonics app available to download that can be used to help us at home. Follow the link below to access this extra support.

Our new sound this week is “i”. We have made it with playdough, painted it, made it on the interactive whiteboard, printed it with ink and written it with rainbow colours! Phew, we have been busy!

Some of us have now started in Primary 1 DG (Room 2). We have been very busy. We have been familiarising ourselves with our new ‘home’ and settling ourselves into our new routine. We have been listening to stories about our classmates hoildays which have all sounded really exciting. Everyone has had lots of fun!

Welcome to Primary 1 DG!

Keep up to date with what is happening in room 2 by checking our blog.

We are really looking forward to our year together!
