Our Weekly Update :-)

It has been another busy week in Room 2. We have started learning our phonemes which will help us to read and write simple and common words. Here are some of the things we have been doing:

OMcM – We learned the letter ‘t’.

TD – We were learning about the letter ‘a’. You put two of your fingers on your throat, it shakes when you say it.

NN – A, a, ants on my arm – it was the song about ‘a’.

LM – Apple is an a word.

IJ – The abc’s is the song we sing.

DP – Two, it has ‘t’ in it and we have been learning ‘t’.

Just a reminder, homework was sent home this week so please check school bags for the sheet. It is also Parents’ Evening on Thursday 9th October. I look forward to updating you on your child’s progress.

Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🙂

Room 7’s Big Question

This week Room 7 have been thinking about our big question – what happened in the past? We have been talking about what we would like to learn and coming up with questions that we would like to answer.

One of the things we wanted to know was how the world was made, and today Iain from the chaplaincy team came to talk to us about how Christian’s believe the world was created. We will also look at beliefs from other faiths and investigate the Big Bang theory and evolution. It’s been really interesting to think about how the world started.

Here are some of the other things we enjoyed this week.

R – I liked doing the stars for the recognition board.

L – I liked doing maths.

I – I liked RE with Iain

H – I liked when Iain was here.

K – I liked playing with lego with Holly.

Have a lovely long weekend, and I will see you on Tuesday.

Our Learning Showcase! :-)

Today we hosted our ‘Primary 1 Learning Showcase’. It was a fabulous afternoon sharing our learning with our families. We had lots of activities ranging from rhyme work, number formation, fine motor and lots more! Our theme this week through our rhyme work has been Scotland so we also had some Scottish activities available too. We would like to thank you all for coming along, it really was appreciated.

Homework will be issued next week so please check school bags. If you require any further assistance with home learning, please get in touch.

We hope you all have a lovely long weekend and look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday. 🙂

Room 3

This week in primary 1 we had the opportunity to share our learning with our families at the ‘Primary 1 Learning Showcase’. We had a fantastic time working through the different stations such as number formation, fine motor skills and lots more. The theme we have been focusing on this week in Primary 1 is Scotland, therefore we also got to create our own Scottish flag and build Scottish Landmarks. We hope all the families who attended had a lovely time. Homework will also begin next week and will be sent home on Wednesday. I hope you all have a fantastic September weekend!
