Our House Captains stepped up to Step into Christmas yesterday and they organised the Christmas tree. They have her dressed in her resplendent glory and this morning there were lots of ooohs and aaahs as the children came into school!
Thank you Captains for tree trimming skills and for helping us all get in the mood for Christmas.
With warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan
Good morning boys and girls. I hope you are all doing well and having fun with your daily activities. I am so pleased with everything you have been sending me and I am loving the photos from you all!!
Here are your tasks for today. I hope you have fun!
It also seems like our little elf has been out playing in the snow and has brought some into the class with him. He has been making snow angels all morning, making an awful mess of the classroom. I don’t think Mr Stewart will be happy when he sees the mess!! What a naughty little elf.
What an exciting morning P3b had, we came into class to find a letter and present under our tree from Santa!
Literacy
Remember that you should be revising your phoneme and tricky words every day. Why not go outside and throw a ball to someone in your family, each time you catch the ball say a letter of your word. You could make your words from pasta or anything else you have at home.
Tuesday is always our comprehension day. The children use their reading book and answer a variety of questions about their book. The children are well versed in our find it, prove it and talk about it approach. Our focus recently has been to focus on giving specific full answers. For example
How many people looked after the rainbow machine?
You should write
Seven people looked after the rainbow machine.

Good morning everyone.
Today we begin with some numeracy.
We have been using the Rekenreks for our number talks. If you follow the link you will find an interactive rekenrek that you can use. Ask your grown up to give you a number between 1-20, how many different ways can you show your grown up the number on your rekenrek? Remember to make use of the white and red colours to make a fast five or ten.
Grown-ups you might ask your child to show you 5 in one move or show you 12 in 3 moves and so on.

The children have been working on o’clock and half past. You could try the link below which takes you to the Topmarks website where you can play clock splat.

If you are in the smaller maths group you can complete the task that asks you to revise writing the seasons of the year. You can also complete the activity that asks you to put the hands on the clocks to show o’clock.
If you completed the calendar task yesterday then today you can try the task that asks you to show one hour before and one hour after in digital time. If you can do this then you could move onto the Fun at the Park task. This involves reading a time question and working out the answer.
On a Monday afternoon in Primary two the children have I.T time. The focus has been on learning where the keys are on the keyboard. You could ask your grown up to give you sentences to type into the computer.
You can also access busy things where we have been exploring the ‘Tree Keys’ game or ‘Bird words’.
You also have your Giglets login information. You will see there are many books online. Please remember to complete only one book each week.
For numeracy we have been learning all about time. Our focus has been o’clock and half past. The children have been doing this very well and now the focus is on o’clock and half past in digital time.
If you are in the group of children who have been completing the workbook then the activities on this post are for you to complete.
You could go around your house and find things that have a digital time on them. You could draw pictures of them. If you have catalogues or magazines you could cut out any pictures of clocks that you can find.
Remember we have been discussing
Good morning everyone
I hope you are all doing well today. Our classroom is very quiet today. I am already missing seeing you all today. I will be posting activities on here for you to complete at home for the next few days.
On a Monday morning we begin by changing the jobs in the classroom. Perhaps at home you would like to take responsibility for something in your home this week.
This morning we would usually be completing spelling. At the moment we have two spelling groups.
If you were learning ‘ee’ and ‘ch’ then your new phoneme is ‘oo’ and your tricky words are by only.
Below is a list of your phoneme words to try this week.
zoo
mood
fool
spoon
look
stool
cook
If you were learning ‘ay’ and ‘ea’ previously then your new phoneme is ‘ow’ as in snow. This weeks tricky words are out now new
low
grow
throw
follow
shallow
show
Remember to draw around your tricky words to see the shapes they make. We have been spending a lot of time on our handwriting. Remember to take your time.
You could complete your words on the computer, with bubble writing, play-dough or anything else you may have at home.
P1 have been working hard over the last few weeks learning about symmetry. This week they’ve painted their own beautiful butterflies 🦋 whilst creating symmetrical pictures. Super work p1!
