What a busy week we have had! At the beginning of the week some of the children were showing an interest in magnets so Mrs Ferguson got lots of magnets out for them to explore.

In Maths we have been learning about Symmetry and we made symmetrical models and paintings and played a game where we had to match our partner’s pegs to make it symmetrical.

On Thursday afternoon the Primary 7 buddies asked if they could lead our PE session outside so they played parachute games with us and we had great fun.

On Monday afternoon and Friday morning we had some transition events with the children from the ECC who are coming into P1 after the summer.  Some of us went down to the ECC and some stayed up in the class and we had so much fun playing with the new children and showing them around our class and exploring the ECC.

Enjoy your long Weekend.  We will see you back on Tuesday when we will be celebrating Mrs Ferguson’s very special birthday (The children guessed 90!!)

Reading Books

Today we have sent home a reading book in the book bags.  Please read them with your child, encouraging them to talk about the story and use the strategies we’ve learned in class to help them read some of the words  ie Can they sound (or stretch) out the word?  Does the picture help?  Is it one of our common words?

These will be handed out on a Monday and collected in on a Friday. (Tuesday next week due to Monday holiday)

Please make sure the books are looked after and kept in the book bags as we are very limited to the number of books we have at each stage that can be sent home.  Your child will need to bring in the last book before a new book is issued.

Maths Homework

The maths challenge this week is all about sharing.  It is called Burying Bones.  Please see details in maths scrapbook or click on link below:

Burying bones

This homework should be completed and handed in on Friday 29th April.

Thanks again for your continued support,

Mrs Ferguson

We had so much fun playing outside yesterday afternoon.  We developed our gross motor skills by building, climbing, jumping and balancing.  We had been talking about the Queen’s upcoming Platinum Jubilee and some of the children used this as inspiration to build a giant throne to sit on.

We also drew with the chalks and had fun chilling out in the sunshine.  We finished our afternoon with a lovely story outside.

What a busy week we have had! We had great fun on our walk to the park.

We loved playing with our new coloured scarves.

We made some lovely Easter themed crafts.

We decorated our Easter Eggs for the competition.  Don’t they look fabulous?

Congratulations to Charlotte whose Minnie Mouse egg was picked as the winner.

Today the P7s had organised a fun day and we went outside for some sports activities and an egg hunt.

Mrs Ferguson and I wish you a very Happy Easter and hope you all have a lovely time off.  We will see you back on Tuesday 19th April ready to start term four.
