Last week of term in P1c

The children had a fabulous week engaging with all of their learning. The children worked so hard consolidating their numeracy learning through a range of active numeracy activities.

In literacy the children spent lots of time developing their letter formation, recognising initial sounds in words and enjoyed sequencing stories. We ended the week with some ‘have a go writing’. As always the children worked extremely hard to challenge themselves.

This week we finished our ‘Enchanted Forest’ topic. The children had some much fun exploring traditional tales in the playroom and loved learning about trees and why they are so important.

We finished our week with a ‘Ready, Steady, Sing’ workshop from the YMI CREATE team. The children absolutely loved all the singing and dancing.

As always I am incredibly proud of all the progress made this term, and I hope all of the children enjoy a well deserved break. Well done P1c!

Our Values – What They Mean to Us

We are delighted to share our refreshed school values with our school community. Our Pupil Council worked with Miss Jardine this week to design visuals for our values and have outlined what they mean to us through their values posters.

 

Imagination takes over!

Primary 1a have been using their imagination to explore the Enchanted Forest. They have created toadstools for fairies, heroes hideouts and lairs for villains. They also learned about the importance of trees in sustaining life and the planet and looked at the microscopic world through our bug viewers.

Number Fun!

Primary 1a took their learning outdoors this week to consolidate number recognition, formation and counting. They used things found in nature to demonstrate their counting skills

This week in p6a!

We have had another busy week in p6a!

Literacy – We are enjoying reading our whole class novel ‘Double Act’ and are getting much better at ‘reading between the lines’ when answering inferential questions!

Maths – this week we have enjoyed some active maths experiences to end our work on place value. We have began work on decimals which has been quite tricky but everyone has shown great perseverance!

IDL – Our class topic this term is Rainforests. We have enjoyed researching different rainforest tribes and locating where they can be found on a map!
