This week started off in a very exciting way with the annual Interhouse Quiz on Monday afternoon.  Pupils were selected from every stage to represent the four houses Camperdown, Caird, Dudhope and Baxter.  All the team members were fantastic answering the quiz questions and the rest of the pupils were super supporters cheering on their house.  It was very close but in the end Dudhope won.  Hooray.

We have been doing more learning through the Baboon on the Moon and P1a1 had fun making some brilliant paintings of the Baboon.

We also learnt about the ‘oo’ sound.  We looked at the story of The Moon Jet on the Promethean board and completed some ‘oo’ activities.  We thought of lots of ‘oo’ words like tooth, pool, book, foot, look and zoo.

It has been a great week for listening to stories as we had a visit from Mrs McDonald on Wednesday.  She read us The Good Little Wolf which had a very surprising ending. 

We also had visits from Primary 6  as we are working with them on the Picture  Book Award.  They visited us in our classrooms to read us stories and ask us lots of questions about what we thought of the stories and illustrations.  They are going to come and see us again next week to read us some more stories.  We are really looking forward to it.

  

One of our tasks in the Active Learning Zone has been adding 3 numbers together.  We used  planets to help us and wrote our sums on a whiteboard.  We love adding up!
