Can you complete some measuring challenges around the house?
Firstly a huge well done to all the pupils for a fantastic performance of Bonnie Wee Jeanie Macoll, along with an excellent recital of ‘Up in the morning early’ by Robert Burns. The children also enjoyed learning our new school song.
Back in class we’ve been hard at work learning the sound and formation for ‘f’. Meanwhile P2 pupils have been spelling words with ‘er’.
We’ve been using word cards and letter tiles to help read and write cvc words independently.
We also enjoy using the computers to reinforce our learning.
This week we are learning about the phoneme ‘er’.

We are learning to identify odd and even numbers within 100. Play a version of the game below. If you have a dice at home, roll it twice to create a 2 digit number. Talk about is it odd or even? What digit tells us, the units. Pupils could draw their own track and finish line.
This week Primary 1 are learning the phoneme ‘f’.
Please see the suggested activities below to help your children practise this sound and its formation.
Listen to the Jolly song by following the link below.
Can your child read these CVC words by blending the sounds together?
We have been learning about odd and even numbers within 10.
Activity: Write the numbers 1-10 on post it notes or scrap pieces of paper. Sort into groups ‘odd’ or ‘even’. It would be helpful if children could use concrete materials when sorting the numbers to visualise which numbers have ‘an odd one out’. You could use pasta, cheerios, lego blocks or any other loose parts around the house.
Primary 2 have been learning the sound ‘ue’ like blue.
Here are their spelling words below.

Primary 1/2 have enjoyed their first week back after the Christmas holidays and are making a great start on their Scots poem.
They finished the week with some activities led by Primary 6/7 which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Have a lovely weekend.
Primary 1/2 will be learning ‘Up in the morning early’ by Robert Burns and the song ‘Bonnie wee Jeanie McColl.’
Please find a copy of the words below and some links to watch both online.
Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly;
Sae loud and shrill’s I hear the blast,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly.
Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.
The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
A’ day they fare but sparely;
And lang’s the night frae e’en to morn,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly.
Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure its winter fairly.
