Our Last 2 Weeks in Room 24

October 24, 2025 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

Hi and welcome to the room 24 blog by Aaron and Harris for last week and John and Alexander for this week.

The girls got the opportunity to start football training and some even took part in their first tournament. They did really well by winning or drawing their games!

In maths, we’ve been working with decimals and learning how to multiply and divide them.

For Halloween, we created themed neon signs using soft pastels and chalk to make a glowing effect. Take a look at the photo below to see how some of them turned out.

We’ve started our new topic – the DigiInventors Challenge set by Glasgow City College. We’ve got to design a digital device to help young people with medical or learning conditions and then create a presentation to submit. Its going to be a busy term but we hope to have some winners when they’re announced next year.

We had an exciting delivery from Katy our Active Schools Coordinator… Pickleball sets! We’ll be starting a block on this from next week and we can’t wait! Katy has also been leading the Sidekicks training for some of us, so we’ll be able to lead P1-3s in playing games.

There’s been so much going on that we could keep going on and on and on… So we’ll stop it there!

Thanks for reading!

Room 2

We have been looking back at our first term in Primary 1. It has been filled with lots of lovely memories and we can’t believe we are at the end of this term already! Today we discussed some of our achievements so far and wanted to share some of these with you:

IC – I have got more confident with building stuff because I have been learning it at my house and then doing it in the class.

OMcM – I have got more confident with running because I figured out a trick. My trick is that I move my legs faster.

AH – I am more confident tidying up in the classroom because every time I have people in the creative area helping me.

NN – I am more confident at drawing a person. I like doing maths as well.

IJ – I am more confident at gym.

MK – I am more confident at cutting now.

KH – I am more confident at play because I play and draw.

Thank you to our parents/carers for coming along last night to our first Parents’ Evening. I hope it was an informative meeting and if you require any further support/have any questions, please just get in touch.

We hope everyone has a fantastic October break and we look forward to all the fun and new adventures in Term 2. 🙂

Room 11 indi fun

We have made it to the October holidays and after a lot of hard work, it is time for a well earned rest.

We have been loving our new maths topic- positional language and directions, including grid referencing.  As part of this we got out the indi’s and the whole class loved setting up different paths for the cars.  They worked in small groups, discussing strategies and sharing ideas.  As well as this, the children were tasked with designing their own treasure maps with directions to find the treasure.

In PE this week, we worked a lot on team games and being able to communicate with your peers in order to succeed.

The kids had to work together and make sure they were paying attention at all times!

Thanks to everyone that made it to Parent’s Evening.  It was lovely to see/meet you all.

Round-Up in Room 24

We’ve been continuing our human body learning and have been studying what’s in our blood. We had to name all of the different things that make up blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. We learned how our blood carries oxygen around our bodies.

Mrs Ryan, an English teacher from Uddingston Grammar, came to the school and did a lesson with us. We created acrostic poems with the letters MOVING ON.

In maths we have been revising decimals and trying to order them, add them, subtract them and even multiply and divide them. It’s been tricky but we’re getting there!

We have been waiting excitedly to hear who the new House Captains will be and on Friday’s assembly we finally found out! Lots of us in the class worked really hard to prepare speeches and FIVE of us got the role! Well done to Evie, Max C, Carrie, Jude and Lily! We know they’ll be great House Captains.

We also got to find out who the Reading Ambassadors will be for the year… Well done to Brody who is a returning reading ambassador and a big well done to Aaron who was picked as a new ambassador!

In writing we’ve started a block on persuasive writing. We had to work on how effective our persuasive techniques could be by trying to convince Miss Napier to give us a ‘sweet.’ Some of us got stickers for succeeding!
