Happy New Year!

Hello everyone,

Happy New Year! We cannot believe that we are into Term 3 already. We have had a busy first week back at school and have enjoyed catching up with all our friends.

Today we had a very special treat! We watched a pantomime in our school. It was ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and was fantastic.

AH – I liked Glinda’s hair because it was curly like cotton candy.

NN – I liked Glinda’s dress.

DP – It was sort of funny.

AY – The show was funny.

MM – The evil witch put thistles in the boxes. Characters from the story touched the thistles.

LM – I liked the bubbles. The bubbles were from Glinda’s bubble magic wand.

OMcM – The characters from the show were flying on flying monkeys.

MK – I liked Glinda’s shoes.

It was a special treat and one of the boys in Room 2 even said, “This is the best day ever at school!”. 🙂

Room 23

Room 23s blog 

 

This week in room 23 we have been learning about shapes. We learned about 3D shapes nets, and about what their names are, also about the faces, edges, and vertices.

 

We are almost finished with our book Natasha’s will and it has been very exciting to learn about the Russian revolution.

 

We have been listening to different types of music to find out what type of music we enjoy and why.

 

We have been learning about scratch, and we made jumping game on it.

Room 1 – 9.1.26

What a busy first week back we have had! 2026 is off to a wonderful start in Room 1!

We have been learning new maths games to help us with our number sense, started a small block of tennis activities in P.E. and been working on our reading skills with some paired reading.

During our play sessions a few pupils began making ice-cream shops. This sparked inspiration within the classroom which has led to a fantastic whole class project of creating our own city.

We have been learning about what you find in a city in comparison to the countryside and we have been investigating landmarks in Glasgow.

I can’t wait to see where this project takes us. 🌆🏙️

Welcome Back to P1/2!

Welcome back after the holidays! It has been so lovely to see all the children again. They have settled back into school routines really well and have been very busy with their learning this week.

In Literacy, we have been consolidating all previously taught sounds and common words. We also practised predicting in our reading books, using clues such as the title and the picture on the front cover to help us guess what might happen in the story.

In Numeracy, we were introduced to subtraction. We explored numbers 1 and 2 less than and learned that when we take away, the number gets smaller.

Our Favourite Parts of the Week:

EJ: Drawing butterflies and a sunflower.

HM: Playing with the cars.

KO: Building a Lego car.

KA: Drawing.

LF: Counting to 100.

CS: Writing about my 2026 goal to get better at riding my bike.

KJO: Taking away 1 and 2.

CH: Building with snowflakes in the construction area.

TC: Learning about taking away.

JS: Using the Indies with Room 5.

AR: Drawing a picture of my 2026 goal.

AN: Learning French colours.

KH: PE – balancing bean bags on tennis racquets.

DM: Playing games in PE.

Homework will begin again on Wednesday 14th January. If homework folders have not yet been returned, please send them in as soon as possible.

PE Days: Our PE days have changed this term and will now be Wednesday and Thursday.

Have a lovely weekend 😊

Room 3

We’ve had a great first week back after the Christmas holidays and it’s been lovely to see the children return with big smiles and lots of enthusiasm. They’ve settled back into school really well and have quickly got back into their daily routines.

In Literacy, we have been consolidating the sounds we learnt before Christmas. Using active activities, the children have been revisiting these sounds in a fun and engaging way, therefore helping to build their confidence.

Our work in Maths has continued to focus on our measurement topic. This week, the children explored height, weight and capacity, using practical, hands-on activities to compare and measure different objects using cubes. They have enjoyed investigating and discussing their findings, developing both their mathematical understanding and vocabulary.

It’s been a great start to the term and we’re excited to see how the children continue to grow and learn.

I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend!

Art – We drew our own portraits but with a twist… We Grinched ourselves! They look great outside our classroom!

Christmas Games & Movie Day – As our end of term treat from Miss Napier, we got into groups and took part in a Christmas Games Day! We played different rounds called: Snow Shovel, Hungry Reindeer, Santa Stack, Candy Cane Fishing and Switch on the Lights. We also had a tricky quiz round and an unusual game of Pass the Parcel, where we had to wear oven mitts to try and open each layer on the presents! We had to finish with a tie-breaker round the next day between two groups: the Sigma Santas and Biggie Boyz Utd. The tie breaker challenge? To create the class teacher using a balloon within 10 minutes! In the end, the winning team were the Sigma Santas!

(Miss Napier took lots of photos and will put them all on Room 24’s Google Classroom!)

STEM challenge: We finally finished our gingerbread houses and have had them on display outside our class. Pupils from across the school have been voting for their favourites. The final winning gingerbread house was made by Evie, Nina, Aaron & Max C. Well done!

P5-7 Christmas Quiz – Today, we took part in the infamous Christmas Quiz run by Mrs Webber. We were part of Team Snowmen and… WE WON! WOOHOO!

Room 2 and 3

What a lovely final week we’ve had to finish off the term! We enjoyed a very festive Christmas party, filled with fun, laughter and lots of smiles. We also spent time making beautiful Christmas cards, putting plenty of care and creativity into each one.

In room 3, our classroom elf kept us entertained all week, bringing extra excitement and fun to our days. 

One of the highlights was getting the chance to sing our Nativity songs to Primary 2, 3, and 4. The children did a fantastic job and sang with such confidence and joy.

A big thank you to everyone for the thoughtful presents and lovely cards — they were so kind and very much appreciated.

We hope you all have an amazing Christmas holiday, filled with happiness, rest and special moments with family and friends. 🎅✨

Have a very merry Christmas from room 2 and 3!
