Merry Christmas from Primary 2/3!

We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and Happy New Year!

It has been a fun filled week of Christmas activities in Primary 2/3!

We finally got to perform our fantastic nativity ‘This Way to Bethlehem’ on Wednesday morning after weeks of practising. The children put on a great show and were absolutely amazing! You can watch our nativity by following the link on the school blog.

We had great fun at our Christmas parties with lots of dancing and party games.

The Primary 2’s were very lucky to get a special visit from Santa!!!

Today the whole school went on a trip to the cinema in Kilmarnock to see the film ‘Trolls Band Together’. The film was great and we had lots of fun singing along. It was a lovely morning and a great end of term treat!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in Primary 2/3!

This week we have been working so hard practising for our nativity, we enjoyed wearing our Christmas jumpers on Wednesday for our Christmas dinner and on Thursday it was the Christmas Fayre.

We have also been learning to measure using non-standard units in maths and have been reading our class novel ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’. We created some super fact files in literacy and have been practising our new sounds ‘ay’ as in play and ‘ea’ as in bread.

Layla was the winner of the Ruby Reward ticket today and chose Ayla to sit with her at the Ruby Reward table. Well done Layla!

It’s hard to  believe that next week is our last week of term.

Have a super weekend!

Wow, what a busy week we have had and all the pupils in P2/3 have worked so hard!

We have been consolidating our sounds:

P2 – oa, ai and oy

P3 – wr, wa and a (as in walk)

We put up our Christmas tree and then wrote instructions to tell others how we did it.

In maths we have been using blank number lines and hundred squares to add and subtract numbers within 100.  Some of us even challenged ourselves to go beyond 100!

We have been busy making our cards and crafts for the Christmas Fayre next Thursday and are excited to show you our wonderful creations.

As well as all that we have been practising for our nativity, what superstars we are going to be!

Have a great weekend.

Mrs Schendel has had a great week in P2/3 and the boys and girls have worked so hard.

P2 have been learning the ‘oa’ sounds and have been reading and spelling words such as boat, coat and float. Cole came up with a super word – coach!

P3 have been learning the ‘al’ sounds and have been reading and spelling words such as ball, always and also.

In maths we have been learning to find one more and one less than for two digit and three digit numbers.

A huge well done to all the boys and girls who have been so brave and have stood up in front of the whole class to deliver their talks. We were focusing on using a loud, clear voice, making eye contact and using our props to keep to the subject. We have learned lots of new facts about animals.
