“LR was putting blue beads into a tub and whites into a tub and purples in a tub to strengthen his fingers.” (JH and CS)

“MLS was doing a book blessing. She chose her favourite book.” (NB and TW)

“The class were learning about our bodies. We drew a picture of ourselves and we took a picture.” (MB and AC)

We were learning about body parts this week. If you are interesting in finding out more about how this is taught, and the subjects that will be covered over the next few weeks, please look at this resource. https://rshp.scot/first-level/#mybody. If you have any questions, please come and ask.

“The class were learning about Buddha and we had to colour in a picture of Buddha. We had to write a sentence about Buddha.” (CS and ER)

We looked at keywords about the digestive system. Children are bringing home a ‘map’ of the digestive system, which will use as the basis for their writing next week. Please encourage your child to practice telling you about it so they are prepared to share their knowledge in a written report next week.

Children were painting fruit like Cezanne.

Our class tried free writing this week, where they were able to write about anything they chose. The children really enjoyed it, and some created fantastic stories.

Gracie brought a certificate to show the class. Please encourage children to bring any achievements in so we can celebrate them together!

We will continue to focus on subtraction and money next week. We have set a sumdog challenge on money. If there is opportunity, please encourage your child to log on at home. Some children need some support to find out how many change they should receive if they pay for something with a 20p. For example, if I buy an apple for 15p, how much change should I get? If you are able to support this learning at home that would be really helpful.

Our sound next week will be u_e from huge brute. Happy weekend!
