Room 23

It has been another busy week in Room 23.

We continued reading our class novel Rooftoppers and created some brilliant Paris inspired pieces of art from the perspective of looking up at the Eiffel Tower.

We started looking at Place Value in maths and have been reminding ourselves that every digit within a number holds its own value.

In writing, we focussed on describing a character and created some excellent character descriptions using the ‘show not tell’ technique.

Room 11’s Blog

Welcome to room 11’s 2nd blog.

 

In Literacy, P3 have been consolidating previously learned phonemes including ‘igh’ and in P4 they have been learning new common words like ‘breakfast’.

In Maths P3 have been learning about 1s, 10s and 100s, P4 have been learning how to partition numbers to 1000.

 

In play, we have been using our play skills such as creativity and junk modeling.

 

In P.E we have been learning how to play What’s the Time Mr Wolf and Pizza Maker. How you would play is someone would be in the middle and everyone else would stand in a line and they would ask the pizza what topping can run.

 

Please come back next week for more!

Room 7 04.09.2026

This week, Room 7 were revising their knowledge of identifying 2D shapes and their properties.

We used a variety of materials to help us construct these shapes and worked with our peers to discuss and record their properties.

To extend our learning, we investigated the properties of some new 2D shapes – the rhombus, heptagon, octagon and trapezoid.

Take a look at our learning in action…

Room 1 – 4.9.26

This week in Room 1:

– we have been working on numbers up to 5, forming them and identifying! Have a go at our fun dice and counters game with someone at home, you could use pasta if you don’t have any counters 😄

– we have been learning about alliteration, check this superstar out who matched the pictures that’s begin with the same sound.

– we learnt about life on a farm through our focus book ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’

Next week the Evening Times will be in to take a picture of primary 1 on Friday 11th. P.E. will be changed to Thursday afternoon (10th) this week. 📸

Have a lovely weekend 😄

Room 4

What a busy and exciting week we have had in Room 4!

Literacy

Primary 1 have been enjoying learning all about the farm. We read A Squish and a Squeeze and had lots of fun learning the words to Old MacDonald Had a Farm. We also discovered the names of different farm animal babies and loved acting like the animals and making their different noises!

Primary 2 have been consolidating their learning of the ‘wh’ and ‘ph’ sounds. They worked together in lots of active and engaging ways to practise their common words, developing both their reading and writing skills.

Numeracy

In Primary 1, we have been practising recognising, counting and forming the numbers 3, 4 and 5. The children particularly enjoyed listening to the Number Zoo stories that go along with each number.

Primary 2 have been learning all about partitioning numbers into tens and ones. They have also been exploring numbers that are more than, less than and equal to. There has been lots of fantastic mathematical thinking and discussion!

Pupil Voice

We asked the children what they have enjoyed this week, and here is what they had to say:

  • TC: “I liked singing songs at assembly.”
  • ZF: “I liked drawing and colouring in.”
  • NG: “I liked drawing my happy face.”
  • HH: “I liked playing in the gym hall at PE.”
  • AK: “I liked learning the numbers.”
  • HM: “I liked going for a walk in the playground.”
  • NP: “I liked designing my person.”
  • LP: “I liked playing with the Lego.”
  • ASC: “I liked learning about tens and ones.”
  • AS: “I liked playing eleven in Maths.”
  • EF: “I liked drawing myself for our class charter.”

It has been lovely to hear about all the different things that have made the children happy and excited about their learning this week.

A Little Reminder

On Friday 11th September, a photographer from the Evening Times will be visiting us to take a Primary 1 class photograph.

We will let you know as soon as we find out when the photograph will feature in the newspaper.

Have a lovely weekend!

Room 15 W/B 31.08.26

Hi Parents /Carers!

We had an amazing week…let us tell you all about it!

In our numeracy, we have been working on rounding to 10, 100 and 1000.

In our new class novel we were learning to scan text and visualise the monsters in the book. We used visualisation to design our own monsters.

In our science lesson we were looking at the difference between liquids, solids and gases.

In writing we were looking at expanded noun phrases and adding them into our stories called, ‘The Lighthouse’.

Have a good weekend,

Room 6 are 2D Shape Explorers!

We have been working so hard this week learning all about 2D shapes. Did you know that 2D shapes are completely flat? We know lots of their names now, like squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and even hexagons!

To help us learn all about straight sides and pointy corners, we had five brilliant shape-building stations in the classroom. We worked with our learning partners and used lots of different materials to build our own shapes:

  • The Straw Station: We used brightly coloured straws to make giant squares and really long rectangles on the carpet.

  • The Magnet Station: This one was so much fun! We clicked the magnetic pieces together to build super sturdy triangles and diamonds.

  • The Lollistick Station: We had to use our problem-solving skills to lay the lollisticks flat and see how many different multi-sided shapes we could make.

  • The Cocktail Stick Station: These were a little bit fiddly and tricky, but we used them to carefully count the straight sides and corners of our shapes.

  • The Shape Blocks Station: We used smaller wooden shapes and fitted them together like a jigsaw puzzle to make massive shape pictures!

We had the best time being shape builders. Sometimes it was a bit tricky to make sure all the corners matched up perfectly, but we kept trying and helped each other out.
