P2a have worked extremely hard and had loads of fun during term 3.

The children have loved learning about money and using the concrete materials to improve their coin recognition. They have been learning how to add up coins to make different values using different combinations. We will be moving on to calculating change next.

We are all very proud of the incredible work the class have done in writing. We have described many different settings including Andy’s Room and Pizza Planet from Toy Story, the fish tank from Nemo and a Gingerbread house. The class have been using loads of adjectives and connectives to improve their sentences and we have been working on using our senses to describe the settings.

In the playroom we were learning about the NHS which has been a huge favourite among the class with many showing great interests in the roles of doctors and nurses and other emergency services. We have now moved onto changes in the playroom.

P2a were also very lucky recently to have a golf lesson where they learned about golf clubs and practised their putting. We also finished our rugby block which the kids loved and they really impressed the coach with how much they improved and worked as a team.

Last week we created our own surveys to ask the class and then displayed our data in a bar graph.  We were also working on using number lines to help solve subtraction calculations.

We celebrated World Book Day with a special assembly where some children shared a part of a book they enjoy.  In class we made corner bookmarks to put on our own reading books and completed a Book Day quiz.

Finally we completed our tulip pictures by painting them and they are looking fantastic.

Another great week in primary 1. Lots of learning in our usual ways…counting, spelling, reading, writing. To top it all this week, it was World Book Day.

We came to school dressed as our favourite book characters or in pyjamas. Some brought their favourite book to share with the class.

We looked through books to find special characters in our Book Scavenger Hunt.

A great day was had by everyone.

This week, as part of World Book Day, we were very fortunate to have a visit from Rob Biddulph – a bestselling award-winning children’s book author and illustrator.

We have been enjoying reading one of his fabulous novels in class called ‘Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City’.

As part of the visit, we got to hear about some of the other wonderful books that Rob has written. We were also invited to take part in a live drawing session with Rob which was a lot of fun!!
