Primary 1/2 2016

It is hard to believe that term 1 is over! The children have worked so hard this term and I am sure they will all enjoy a hard earned rest.

Here are a few pictures of the children before you all head off on holiday.  We made crowns for the ‘c’ sound and we decorated the ‘ng’ sound with rings!

Primary 1 and 2

This week the children will have reading once and then books will be collected in on Friday for the holidays. We will not issue any other homework this week, allowing you and your child to enjoy the holidays. I hope everyone has a great holiday and a well earned rest!

Primary 1 and 2

We are very short on shoe boxes which is making it hard to begin our project.  If you have any extra boxes please can we have these and if you have not yet provided please try to do so.

We had great fun making a chocolate ‘ch’!

Primary 1 Models

The Primary 1s really enjoyed making models for the ‘m’ sound.  They could choose which materials they used and if they wanted to make a model with a partner or on their own.

It is lovely to read the comments from parents.

Thank you,

Miss Moyes

Primary 1 and 2 were very excited doing a science experiment using skittles and hot water.  We observed how the water changed colour creating a beautiful rainbow.  Primary 1 also talked about how rainbow beings with the ‘r’ sound.
