As this school session draws to a close, I wanted to thank all parents and guardians for their help and continued support over the past year. Home schooling has been no easy task and you all did an outstanding job in supporting your child through this extremely difficult time.  Also, a massive thank you to all the boys and girls in P1B. You have all worked incredibly hard over this past year and coped extremely well under these difficult circumstances. I am proud of you all and it has been a delight to teach each and every one of you and watch you grow and learn.

Have a wonderful Summer when it comes, I hope the sun shines for you all and you get to do lots of fun activities. Stay safe, be happy and we will see you in August!

Mrs O’Callaghan, Miss Kinnaird and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for your lovely gifts. You have all been so kind and generous and the gifts are hugely appreciated!!

It has been a privilege to have taught and worked with each and every one of the boys and girls in P1B this year and we are all hoping for a more “normal” school year next session. Thank you to you all for all your support over the past year.  We hope you all have a lovely Summer and we will see you all in August.

THANK YOU!!!!

I would love to see some photos of your biscuits. Send them to kirsty.mcconnell@glow.sch.uk and let me know how they tasted!

Today we learned the new sound “oy”. Practise making as many words as you can with your magnetic letters at home using this sound. Even try to write sentences using your words.

In numeracy, we are continuing on with money and working out change from 10p. Why not set up a mini shop at home and practise giving out change?

Please read your allocated Bug Club book as often as possible throughout the week to increase fluency and accuracy. Ask an adult to ask you questions about what is happening in the story to help develop reading comprehension skills.

I am also checking our knowledge of all the sounds and tricky words we have been learning this term this week, so please go over these as much as possible at home too.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss McConnell

The boys and girls have been working very hard in class learning all about money. Over the past few weeks we have been recognising coins up to £2, adding money, using money to make different amounts and even working out change! The boys and girls in P1B are all so clever and Miss McConnell is very proud of you all.

In Literacy our common words are becoming a little bit more trickier. Please practise these every night, reading, making and writing as many as you can. We are also working on putting some of our words into a sentence. Also, don’t forget to go on and read your Bug Club book as many times throughout the week as you can and talk about the story, characters and ask a grown up to as you some questions.

We are continuing our Pirates topic and loved making Pirate hats and today we built our very own pirate ship using lego and bricks.

Have a lovely Easter holiday boys and girls. I hope the Easter Bunny leaves you a lovely special treat.
