We had such a fun day today.  The Primary 7s organised a ‘Friday Fun Day’ for us, full of amazing activities.  We started off the day with a Scavenger Hunt where we had to search for specific objects in the class.

Then we completed a drawing and building challenge.  They asked us to draw a picture of our favourite season and build a chair using the construction materials.

After lunch we went outside to complete our final challenges.  Declan, Bailey and Layla from P7 had set up some sports activities for us such as Beat the Goalie and an obstacle course.  We had so much fun.

We would like to say a HUGE “Thank You” to Primary 7 for organising such a fun day.

Our numeracy homework is all about coins and money.  In class, the children have been working hard to recognise coins up to £2 so this is a great game to help them with this.

This task can be found in the Scrapbook in the book bag.  Please complete and return to school by Friday 25th February.

As an extra challenge, you could talk to your child about making different totals to 10p, using the coins.

Have fun,

Mrs Ferguson

In maths we have started to learn about money.  We have been trying to identify coins from 1p up to £2.  This would be a great thing for you to practise at home.  Next week we are going to start using coins to make amounts up to 10p.

We rearranged the classroom to give us more room for our construction area as we recently received some brilliant new wooden blocks.  We have had great fun building some amazing models and we even created a Zombie Apocalypse town after learning the ‘z’ sound this week.

We have also enjoyed getting creative with the paints this week.

Our day for using the Gym hall is a Thursday so if you haven’t already done so, please send in a bag with a pair of shorts and trainer/gym shoes.  These can be kept safely in the school, on the children’s pegs and it will mean we can use the hall on other days if the timetable changes unexpectedly.

This week our Numeracy Homework is called Roll Over and uses the fun song to help the children talk about subtraction.  We discussed in class all the different things you could use as ‘teddies’ so you could act out the song while you are singing.  I hope you enjoy it!  As it is a holiday on Friday, please return to school by Thursday 10th February.

Thanks again,

Mrs Ferguson

We got to test out some of the amazing new outdoor resources that the school has recently purchased.  On Monday we tried out the giant Polydron and had great fun making models and structures.

On Thursday we made an obstacle course with the new balance beams and wooden blocks. It started off nice and easy in a straight line and then it progressed to having obstacles to step over and then they pulled pieces apart to make it much trickier to navigate.

We have also been working so hard in class this week and have continued to focus on subtraction in numeracy.
