P2 pupils did amazing work this week learning about time. Boys and girls are now able to tell the time for o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. This is amazing so well done. They have also worked very hard on their Alice and Wonderland character descriptions. Keep it up.
P3a Update
This week we were focussing on non fiction books in reading. We discussed the different features of them and how they can help us find the information we need. We then continued on in writing using our senses to describe a setting.
In maths we were working on our multiplication strategies. We used arrays and grouping to help us find the answers as well as being able to skip count. We will continue to practise these to improve our recall.
Our topic just now is Body Systems and that has been our focus in our creative play area, So far we have named some of the main bones in our bodies, looked at our major organs and their function and learned how our eye works.
In Art we were using line and tone to draw a detailed eye and also had a go at some optical illusion art.
P1c weekly update

They enjoyed a ranged of literacy stations to consolidate their learning. In the playroom our new topic is Scotland. The children have been designing outfits for characters from the Katie Morag stories and loved ‘working’ at our own WWP tourist office.
Primary 3b
Primary 3 have been working hard this week.
We have been measuring in both centimetres and metres in maths lessons. We have also been using arrays and grouping to calculate multiplication equations.
We have looked at the bones in a human skeleton and labelled them. We also drew an eye, focussing on shading in our art lesson. They all turned out really well.
We have been continuing with our PATHS lessons and are beginning to practice using our calming down strategies when feelings are strong.
As a class we have identified that we are not great at listening. So we will be focussing on listening skills. We have already established what a good listener looks like and will be putting that into practice next week.
