We have had some very exciting visitors this week. On Monday, a final year Pharmacy student came in to talk about safety and medicines and then on Wednesday, our new student teacher Mr McDonald came to meet the class. Mr McDonald will be with us for six weeks and is very much looking forward to working with the children.

We are really starting to make the new classroom environment our own. The walls are now covered with the children’s artwork and photographs and the children were delighted today when we managed to make space to incorporate a construction area into our classroom. Watch out for all the pictures of amazing structures to come!

We continue to learn about 2D and 3D Shape with Miss Adair, with lots of practical activities manipulating shapes to learn about their properties.

In Skills Academy, we have been working with Mrs Rattray and the Digital Leaders

In literacy, we continue to use our sounds to create and recognise words. We have been writing stories based on our class reading books. At the moment we are reading the picture books of David Walliams and are particularly enjoying the rich vocabulary, so if any of the children have been suddenly using words like “atrocious” or “ginormous” this is where it’s coming from.
