This week in Literacy we have practiced our sounds and here is a couple m and a. This week we also learned my Abc.
We were using playdoh and we made numbers and animals.
We learned some French and we sang a song.
Grace also got the house point winner certificate this week.
Our Context for Learning in P4W is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have met lots of characters and wrote some descriptions about them using adjectives and similies – Augustus Gloop is the fattest and greediest person in the world. Charlie Bucket is very poor, Veruca Salt is very spoiled and Mike Teevee likes to watch TV.
We did some drama in class. We had to act out a part that we liked in front of the class and everyone else had to guess which part of the book it was from. The popular scene was when all the old people were lying in bed!
We have learned some French like how to say hello, goodbye and my name. We have also learned how to count to 20 in French. We went on a number hunt outside to match numbers up with the French words.

P1M have been learning all about the Gruffalo! In the story each character has a different habitat. With Miss Brown the pupils have been learning all about what a habitat is, where different animals live and we explored habitats in the Quiet Garden. The boys and girls were very excited to go exploring – here are some pictures!
P1M had a great week during ‘Maths Week Scotland 2017.’ They took part in challenge afternoons, had visitors to the class who spoke about how they use maths in their jobs and took part in exciting homework challenges. It was great to see so many homework challenge pictures on Twitter!!
Have a look at some photos of the week!
On Thursday 31st August, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Education, John Swinney visited Abercromby Primary School. Read about his visit by clicking on the picture here:
Please explore our website and Twitter page to find out more about Abercromby Primary School.
Today Primary one were introduced to their new learning context… Dinosaurs. They came up with lots of good questions that they would like to find out the answers to, for example:
Hopefully over the next few weeks P1 will learn the answers to these questions!
This afternoon activity time was dinosaur themed. It is shaping up to be an exciting and interesting context!
As part of our science focus this term P2S have been learning about their senses. This week we have been learning all about our eyes and our sense of sight.
Firstly, we learned all about the different parts of the eye. Then we drew a picture of our eye and labelled its parts.
On Thursday, we were very lucky to have a visit from 2 guide dogs and their trainers. We learned lots about people who are blind and how these wonderful animals help them to keep safe.
On Friday, we learned about Braille and how it allows blind people to read. We used our new knowledge to make our names in braille using lentils.
To finish off our focus on sight, we had the chance to experience what life might be like if we were blind. Wearing a blindfold, and with a little help from our partners, we explored the playground. It was really tricky and some of us found it quite scary too!
P2S had an absolute blast at their Burn’s lunch event! We really loved hearing everyone’s poems and joining in with the Scots songs!
We made the most of the snowy weather in P2S today and took our learning outdoors!
Once we had built our snowmen we placed them in different places around the school and made predictions about which snowmen would melt quickest.
We checked our snowmen and measured them every 10 minutes.
