It was great having all the grown-ups in to visit us on Tuesday. The boys and girls enjoyed getting to read with an adult and also completing the Book Bug booklets. On Monday we got to hear from a Scottish author and her name was Susan White, who read a book called “The Little Tree”.

Today in room 5 it was wear it bright day and we all came in dressed in our brightest items of clothing. Miss Livingstone needed Sunglasses on to look at us!
We have been learning our songs for our Christmas Concert, which is on Wednesday 10th December at 9:30am.
We learnt about dividing this week, and completed lots of active tasks in halving numbers. We learnt a new sound ‘au’ and have enjoyed our different active spelling tasks to help us remember the spelling.
Next week is a revision week for spelling and number, we will be revising addition/subtraction/division and multiplication. We will also be revising the ‘au’ sound and ‘aw’ sound.
Another Fantastic Week 🙂
Pupil Voice:
CJ- I enjoyed learning our Christmas songs.
EM- I loved doing maths this week and learning about dividing. I enjoyed the pizza task.
BK- I liked learning our new sound ‘au’, my favourite word was haunted.
LS- I liked building my flying car during play.
LB- I made a magnetic block airplane during play and it was really fun.

Thank you to Eden, Gloria and Sophia for this week’s post.
On Monday 14th November we did PE. We played prisoner dodgeball with Miss Macfarlane. In the morning, we did our IOW(Improving Our Writing) and we also got our new spelling words and practised them with partners. Also we started our new book The Abominables.
On Tuesday we did IOW again,we started run-ons and a run-on is a sentence that is missing punctuation and connectives. We had to turn the run-on sentences into punctuated sentences.
On Wednesday we did time with Miss Hutton and we also did IOW with Miss Higgins.The boys went to football and while they were there the rest of us finished off work for our showcase.
On Thursday we had Miss O’Brien and did IOW and it was run-ons. Then Miss Higgins came in and we finished off stuff for the showcase. Then our parents came in for our showcase and some people got to go home early.
On Friday it was Wear It Bright Day. Then we did a math game and went for PE. After PE we went to see the new fishes and did IOW which was run-ons,then we went to assembly.

Room 2 have been very creative during their play opportunities this week. In our class we have a construction, creative and role play area set up which we enjoy exploring.
This week, three boys showed great teamwork and perseverance (which is one of our school values!) to complete this pirate themed jigsaw. We think it looks fabulous and we have left it in the cloakroom for others to see.
In our construction area, we have been building amazing structures using wooden blocks and Lego.
Here is an amazing airport which some of the boys worked together on. It even features an airport shuttle bus and aircraft hangar.
Today we also marked ‘Wear it Bright Day’ to highlight the importance of dressing brightly during the Winter months.
We came to school wearing our brightest clothing from hi-vis vests to light up hair accessories. Thank you for all your efforts with this, you looked amazing! MM in our class was voted the brightest person and she received a certificate and amazing bag filled with goodies.
We also designed our own bright colourful helmets which would be seen visibly in the dark. Here is IJ’s bright helmet.
Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🙂

Room 11 have had another busy week rounding off our topic on the Vikings before we start all things Christmas 🙂
We made some helmets and swords from cardboard and learnt about the Viking Gods and Godesess.
In Maths, we started to learn about angles. We can identify right angles around us and also group angles into categories of acute, obtuse and 90 degrees.
We have also started learning our songs for the Christmas Concert- please ask your child about this and help them to learn the words at home if you have time!
For Wear it Bright Day, all the kids made loads of effort to dress brightly and the winner in Room 11 was Oscar C!

REMINDERS
Primary 1 Nativity – As we approach the upcoming nativity performances, we kindly request your support in helping your child learn their lines. It is important that each pupil is confident with their lines, as this will help our practice sessions run more smoothly and allow them to fully participate in rehearsals. If you could take some time at home to go over the lines with your child, it would be greatly appreciated.
Room 4 BookBug Session – Monday 17th November, 2:00pm-2:45pm. One family member per child.
Wear It Bright Day – Friday 21st November. Children can come to school wearing the brightest clothes they have, including reflective items.

We’ve had another exciting and busy week in Primary 1! In Literacy, our focus has been learning two new sounds: e and d. The children have been working very hard and we have used a range of active learning strategies to help us explore, practise and remember these sounds. We have used a range of visuals, eye spy games and magnetic letters.
In Maths, we have been continuing our work on addition. The class has been practising writing number sentences, using concrete materials and visual supports to help them understand each step. The children have enjoyed using cubes and number lines to build and solve addition equations. Their enthusiasm has been wonderful to see!
As nativity is fast approaching we have been busy practising for our Nativity performance. The children have been learning their lines, songs and stage directions. We are very proud of the effort they are putting in.
Just a note to say if you could please help your child learn their nativity lines at home. It makes a big difference to their confidence during rehearsals.
Important date
On Monday 17th of November, you are invited into the classroom from 2pm to read with your child and complete fun book week activities.
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
