Last week we went to Caerlaverock Castle. We explored the castle, pretended to attack it, drew pictures, tried on clothes and handled artefacts.

Riley says “we went in the castle and we saw a big cooking space and a kitchen where they made the bread”

Arlo says “when I was inside I saw a space for the fire”

Chester liked looking at the portcullis and playing at the park.

Lilly liked seeing the dungeon!

Jack liked going up the spiral staircase but Theo didn’t!

Nola says “It was cool walking round and seeing the moat”.

Kobi liked seeing a real drawbridge.

P1/2 had lots of fun on our trip!

 

This week in class we have been busy…

• measuring lots of things round the school using trundle wheels and metre sticks
• reading books together
• tasting some Spanish foods like Spanish tortilla, chorizo, Serrano ham, patatas bravas and churros (churros were definitely our favourites)
• playing with our new set of wooden blocks – we have built towers and houses, made bowling games, and had lots of fun!

Here is a copy of P1-3 spelling and phonics work for January. If you need a new spelling workout book or Stareway list please just let me know!

Some of the boys have been making dinosaurs with the Lego in class. Here are their allosaurus and diplodocus.

We have had a busy first two weeks back in P1-3. Here are some photos of what we have been up to…

 

Here is a piece of space-inspired artwork that Abigail did yesterday.

Here are some photos of the work the guys have been doing over the last 2 days in the Childcare Hub.

Answering reading questions, doing jumbled sentences and translating Scots…

 

Using concrete materials and number lines to work on subtraction problems, and some team work to solve word problems and the Inheritance Challenge…

And lots of Arctic art…

We’ve also made the most of it being dry (although cold!) and been out for some walks. Hope you are all having a good week too!

Daniel and Abigail have been doing some writing about the books they have been reading at home – has anyone else tried Dinosaur Cove or Demon Dentist?
