Good morning,
This morning we are waking up to the sad news on the passing of The Queen and we will be looking at her life later through Newsround.
This week has been another very busy week, choosing House Captains and Vice Captains and pupils for our school’s various committees. The children have also been working very hard on Our Classroom Charter and getting familiar again with ‘magic movement’, lovely listening and the recognition board.
In language we have been working very hard to revise the initial sounds and use these sounds to blend together to make words. I have also sent home our first reading book again with a key emphasis on decoding and breaking the words into letter sounds then blending them back together to make the words in the story. The books as you will have realised are brand new and are in a little bag for their protection. Please can you return the books by Tuesday in this little bag, thanks. Please also support your child with the reading of these books and help them spell out words that don’t know.
In maths we have been busy looking at numbers to 20, place value and the even numbers. The children have been investigating which numbers are even using number trains and cubes, Numicon and coat hangers and pegs. They quickly realised that if you can share an amount out equally then it is an even number.
We are continuing to enjoy our topic pirates too.
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for your support.

Good morning and happy Friday!
Here’s what we have been up to in Primary 4 this week:
In literacy, we have been revising our common words for spelling and doing some active spelling activities to help us practice including using sand, interlocking cubes and poppits.
We are working through our class novel of Fantastic Mr Fox and we used our metalinguistic skills to find adjectives within the chapter as well as discussing what tricky words may mean.
We started to think about how to describe a scarecrow for our writing and will move on to describing the setting next week.
In maths we began by doing some revision of odd and even numbers and played games to reinforce our learning. We started to look at shape and worked through a range of activities to begin to build our understanding.
In other areas, we created hedgehog houses as part of IDL/STEM with Mrs Ferguson. Pupils really enjoyed using different materials to create the houses. We started netball in PE working on different ways we can pass the ball such as bounce, chest and shoulder pass.
(Pictures to follow due to blog issues).
Thank you for working hard this week and have a lovely weekend.

What a quick week! P6 have been working very hard and learning lots of new things.
On Monday we enjoyed voting for the new House Captains and Vice Captains. Everyone was very excited to find out who’d been voted in. Congratulations to all our new badge holders, we’re confident you’ll do an amazing job.
For Numeracy and Maths this week we have been revising different strategies to add and subtract. We also explored the properties of triangles and learned some new shape vocabulary.
In Literacy, we practised self-checking and editing our writing. This technique helps us to improve the quality and content of our stories. We also played some listening games and focused on our reading comprehension skills.
On Wednesday we started our Leadership Programme with our active schools coordinator. We have to work as a team, follow instructions and support each other. We also practised our basketball skills for PE.
Our topic is moving along nicely and this week we found out about forces in nature. We researched some facts and worked with a learning partner to create an information poster.
What a busy week, we’re looking forward to having a rest! Have a good weekend!
