Mrs Schendel has spent lots of time with Primary 1 this week and has been super impressed with all the amazing work all the children have been doing.
The children have been consolidating all the sounds they have learned so far, working on their formation and blending sounds together to make words.
As part of our Toys topic, Mrs Ferguson brought out the dressing up box and the children had great fun dressing up as chefs, fire fighters, wolves and so much more.
We learned all about how important it is to ‘Be Bright, Be Seen” when out walking in the dark winter nights. P4, our Junior Road Safety Officers, set us a competition to design a bright hoodie.

What a busy week we had last week. Firstly, a big Well Done to all our Stars of the Week and an extra Well Done to our Dojo pupils of the week, Braxton and Allan!
We continued learning new sounds. This week was ‘c’ and ‘k’ so some activities included us constructing castles, creating cards and designing crowns for kings! Remember to keep going over the sounds in the book bags.
We also had lots of fun celebrating Children In Need on Friday with lots of activities in class. And we are continuing to learn about toys so we had fun investigating some ‘old’ toy spinning tops.
This week we have been investigating ice and water and have LOVED using syringes to measure (and skoosh!)
To celebrate Scottish Book Week, we have been enjoying reading the books from our Bookbug packs (which children will bring home shortly) Today we read ‘Arlo, The Lion Who Couldn’t Sleep’ and enjoyed creating our own ‘Arlo’ collage lions and painted ‘Owl’.
Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’. This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class. The topic will change depending on the focus for that term. This term we are learning all about Toys so the talk is called ‘My Favourite Toy’. At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk all about their favourite toy.
Some ideas to include in their talk might be:
What is their toy called?
Who/where/when did they get their toy?
Why is it special to them?
What games do they like playing with their toy?
Draw a picture of their toy to show during their talk
The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg 29th November. More details will be given shortly about which day that week your child will be giving their talk. They can bring any pictures or toy in from home on that day.
Congratulations to our Stars of the Day. They all worked so hard this week.
Congratulations also to Calli who was our Dojo points Pupil of the Week.
Here are some of the fun things we got up to this week.
In literacy we have been learning the sounds ‘d’ as in drum and ‘e’ as in egg. I have added the new sounds to the children’s sound cards in their book bags if they brought them today. It is really important to remember these every day so we can add new sounds when we need to.
The children have brought home lots of pictures today in their book bags. Can we please ask that they get emptied before returning on Monday. The only items that should ever be in the bags are their sound cards, sound jotters and their maths scrapbooks. Everything else such as pictures and the Toucan boxes should be taken out and kept at home.
Thank you for all the maths homework handed in. If you haven’t had the chance to complete it yet I have kept the scrapbooks in the book bags and it can be handed in on Monday.
Please find the next numeracy maths homework sheet in your child’s Scrapbook (in book bag) This week is ‘The Number Five’: How many ways can you show five or find the number 5? You’ll find lots of ideas on the sheet. This is due back in school by Friday 12th November. Please remember you can email any pictures of the work to us at: eajill.ferguson@glow.sch.uk and eaerin.cook@glow.sch.uk. We look forward to seeing what you find!
Thank you so much for all the effort put into the Maths homework this week. We were blown away with the amazing work you have been doing at home. Here are some examples of the fantastic work that was handed in.
We will be issuing new homework on Monday and can’t wait to see what amazing work you produce.
Well done to all our Stars of the Day for this week.
Finally a big well done to Allan who was our Pupil of the week for earning the most Dojo points.
This week we have been learning the ‘r’ sound so we used playdough to make our own rusty robots 🤖
We also made the most of the sunshine this afternoon and played with the loose parts. We found some wiggly worms inside the tyres and made a new safe home for them.
