How PEF and School
Improvement has made a
difference in our class
In P2 we have been making our learning fun both indoors and outdoors. In literacy, we have made the most of our daily picture book by using our new selection of books and sharing our thoughts and opinions of the books in exciting ways. We have particularly loved different drama activities which has helped to deepen understanding of characters and the plot of a story while also bringing lots of laughter into our learning. We have also shared our love for picture books with P5/6 during reading buddies, by discussing our favourite genres of books and recommending books for our big buddies to enjoy with us.
In maths, we have made the most of the great outdoors by using our playground and also going further afield to learn. We have used sticks, stones, leaves, grass and lots of other natural resources to help up learn new maths skills and concepts outside of the classroom.
By using “Remember to’s”, we have understood very clearly how we can be successful in our learning and used this to check our own work before handing it to Miss Fox. Often we come up with our own “Remember to’s” as this helps to prepare us for the task ahead as we have engineered our own steps to success.
Most importantly, we have loved having Mrs Beveridge in our classroom with us to work closely with individual pupils or small groups. This has helped us to remember our sounds and common words, understand our reading books and improve on our number sense.
