After learning about the planets in our solar system and the sun, P2b used chalk pastels to create these images of planets. P2b also learned about the phases of the moon and are able to describe what each phase looks like. Well done P2b.
It was a short week last week but we still found time to get lots of learning done and have some fun. We are still working on our recount writing and making sure we are including some details in our writing. In maths we were using compass points and our angles knowledge to be able to follow directions. We began learning about where the Viking’s came from and where they invaded. Lastly we had a visit from one of the staff from Golf it and had fun practising our golf skills. ⛳️
It’s been a short but busy week in P4a! We’ve learned all about the eight points of a compass and used our new skills to create treasure maps. We then wrote detailed instructions on how to find the buried treasure. In our topic work, we explored the first Viking raid on Lindisfarne. We also had a fantastic time at our Golf It session today!

Primary 1 have been lucky enough to not only to have had one visitor this week but three.
On Tuesday, Mrs Cattley came to visit with her baby son to talk to us about how to look after a baby. The children got to say hello to the baby and ask great questions which Mrs Cattley was happy to answer.
We also had Maggie in from PATHS, our health and well-being programme, to talk to us about our emotions and understanding that it is ok to feel overwhelmed sometimes and that is just our bodies telling us that it is experiencing a number of different emotions at the same time.
Finally, we got to meet the dental hygienist and nurse who looked at our teeth.
A big thank you to all our visitors.

Our golf game continues to improve, and we’re now capable of playing short rounds over longer distances.
In numeracy we’ve been using protractors to accurately measure angles, and draw triangles from given specifications.
