This week we have been celebrating 100 years of Dens Road School. We had an assembly on Tuesday where we saw what it was like to be in school in 1911 when the school opened. We saw a classroom with slates and chalk and an abacus. And we saw a classroom like ours with Nintendo DS’ and interactive whiteboards. We like our classrooms. We did a mind map of what we would like to learn about schools. Check out the latest school blog which has extracts of the school log book 100 years ago. https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/dd/DensRoadSchool100Years/

We have been practising our Jolly Phonics sounds lots this week. We have been making 3 letter words in class. We play with the wedge and make words.

In our homework we have a new Blending Book so we can have lots of practise of blending our sounds together. The more we practise, the better we get!

In maths we are learning to add things together. We are really good at it already. We have used our Ladybird Maths Box to help us.

We also practise writing numbers on our whiteboards. We completed our first adding sheet in the class and Mrs Mackay and Miss Davies will be putting them into our Folio of Work for P1.
