We have had a busy second week of term.

In literacy we started our class novel ‘Wonder’. We look forward to learning all about August and his family. The book will explore themes of kindness, acceptance and will share real life experience.

In numeracy we have been brushing up on our number skills with plenty of mental maths! We have also been revisiting various topics, such as measure, time and money, in our morning starter.

In ICT we have been exploring Microsoft Publisher and have created some fantastic personal profile using some special features like Word Art, the transparency tool and background.

We were delighted to receive some postcards from Jai MacDowall for our ‘Window to the World’. If anyone is off on a trip soon, please consider picking up a postcard from your destination. We love watching our window grow!

On Wednesday we worked with our P1 buddies on the ‘Look for a book’ trend where we wrote letters and then hid them in the village with our books for local people to find.

On Friday we had Katie from RespectMe in class to lead a workshop which is being launched to all schools in Scotland. We were delighted to test it out and really enjoyed ourselves! Many of our learners provided quality input during the session.
