Today we were learning all about different materials and their uses. We then went on a hunt and separated what we found into Natural and Man-Made bundles during some sorting activities.
Reading Buddies
Reading Buddies
Over the past term we’ve been meeting our Reading Buddies twice a week. For both P2 and P7 pupils, this is an opportunity to practise their reading skills such as fluency and expression.
P2 love working with the older pupils and hearing the stories that P7 like reading.
We will continue this over the next term.
Come Learn with me!
Last week we were invited parents in to class to Come Learn with us. We thoroughly enjoyed having our parents in and it’s was great to see pupils talking about their number knowledge with familiar adults.

One frosty morning P2 wrapped up warm and headed out in the frost.
We were working on finding spaces during games. The first task was to create our own space circles. Following that we completed some instruction games and simple instructions. Finally we played a throwing and catching game focusing on alertness.
