Primary 1b have settled very well into school.

We have had lots of fun paining and printing patterns.

We love learning about numbers!

We play lots of fun games!
    

Just ask and we will tell you what games we are playing in school!

Primary 4c enjoyed making some delicious Viking porridge. They certainly didn’t fight like Vikings but instead worked well as a team and made their porridge a little sweeter than a scary viking by adding some raisins, honey and jam.

Reciprocal Reading

Primary 5d have been enjoying using reciprocal reading to enhance their understanding of text. It has also helped us to listen and work with others.

There are 5 jobs: The Big Boss makes sure everyone knows what they are doing and chooses their roles. The Clarifier helps us clarify tricky words. The Questioner thinks of interesting questions about the text. The Predictor predicts what will happen in the story. The Summariser tells the story in their own words. I love it! Ellie S

‘Reciprocal reading is a great way to get people involved in reading altogether because they all get a job ‘ Mary – Rose C

‘ We all work as a team and if you get a word wrong, someone will help you.’ Poppy Br

‘It helps me keep track with reading and I can understand the story better’ Marc C

Numeracy & Mathematic

Our numeracy focus this term is multiplication. We are learning to recall all multiplication facts from 1 – 10 and love to play the Fingers game to help with this.

“It is really fun to play and it makes you think of multiplication tables more!” Jessica M

“I want to play this game every single day!” Niall Mc

Primary 1d are learning all about Noah’s Ark during Religious Education. We then created our own ark using oil pastels and tissue paper.

Primary 1c are using number fans to show the number before and after. They are so clever that they are now beginning to learn about odd and even numbers.

How clever are they?

They are learning to identify and write the number four.

Jolly Phonics is a programme that is used in Primary 1 to help the children learn their sounds. It is interactive and engaging. Today’s letter was the letter ‘n’

We welcomed  Snappy the Crococilde who told us all about the importance of brushing our teach.  We learned that we have to open our mouth wide and not eat too many sugary sweets. We also learned what direction to brush our teeth in.  Just ask us and we will show you!

The playground games are great and we were shown how to use the climbing wall safely and take turns on the train.

In the playground we are very responsible and are learning how to line up properly and care for each other. 

  Oh what stars!

Primary 1a   are using whiteboards and magnetic letters to put the alphabet in order. They are having fun exploring and learning from each other!

Primary 7b, Mr Docherty’s class, worked co-operatively to create their own ‘Wellbeing Wheel’. They discussed what makes them feel; ‘Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included.  In doing this they realised how important it is to work together as a school community to make sure that Our Lady of the Missions Primary continues to be a happy and healthy school!
