Hello from P1/2! We have had a brilliant first term so far! It has been a joy to welcome our new P1’s, our P2’s have been the best buddies for them alongside the primary 7’s! We have enjoyed reading, singing and playing together!

We began our year by exploring the book ‘How to Fill a Bucket.’ It taught us all about being kind and how to be a good friend.  Our class bears have been watching us filling up each others buckets and have been going on amazing adventures with our pupils at the weekends!

In numeracy, P1 have been exploring counting, number formation and recognition. We are getting used to joining in with class jobs and love our number song time! P2 have been exploring place value, number ordering and structure. We’ve been working very hard and especially loved our maths walk during maths week! We went on a hunt for numbers around the village and found loads!

In literacy, we have begun a new phonics scheme across p1 and p2 which has been super exciting! P1 have been learning their initial sounds and P2 have been learning to spell longer words and have been working hard on their handwriting. We have loved our library visits with Mrs Reid and have got to choose our own book every fortnight to borrow.

Alongside all of this hard work we explored the artist Matisee at the beginning of term. We have been learning different artistic skills. Now we are exploring houses and homes and have been creating houses, comparing them, and using the Three Little Pigs story to link it with our literacy!

All in all its been a very busy and enjoyable term- we will see you in term 2… but we won’t mention the C word just yet!
