January has flown by us again! This month we have started our new topic of Superheroes including Real Life Superheroes. Primary 2 are focusing on People Who Help Us and Primary 3 are looking at the Body. The children have already been asking very interesting questions and have been finding out various things.

In maths we have been doing grid referencing and are moving on to data handling. We continue to work on our Learn Its and I’ve been very impressed with how enthusiastic the children are to learn these at home, it has really helped the class with their mental maths skills.

In literacy we continue to read daily and complete tasks linked to the stories. Please continue to read and sign the reading records and encourage children to bring their books everyday to school to complete their tasks. Some of the Primary 3 girls put on a super performance of The Day the Crayons Quit – unfortunately the videos are too big to attach to this post! In writing we have written some excellent persuasive letters and will be moving on to facts files soon.
