Newton Farm Primary School and Nursery Class

What an exciting week we’ve had in Primary 1! As part of Book Week Scotland, the children enjoyed taking part in lots of fun and engaging activities that helped celebrate our love of reading. One of the highlights of the week was getting to hear a special reading from a Scottish author, which the children absolutely loved.

We were also delighted to welcome parents into the classroom to take part in our Book Bug activity sessions. It was wonderful to see so many of you joining in, sharing stories, and helping your child explore books in creative ways.

Alongside all of the book week excitement, we have also been very busy rehearsing for our Nativity performance. The children are working hard to learn their songs and lines and we are so proud of their enthusiasm. A big thank you to everyone who has helped their child learn their line, your support at home makes a huge difference!

In literacy this week, we have been learning two new sounds: ‘c’ and ‘k’. The children have enjoyed practising these sounds through games, handwriting and magnetic letters.

In numeracy, we have been exploring the number stories of 3 and 4, helping the children understand different ways to make each number. They have been using cubes and active activities to help them.

Just a note to say all outfits for the nativity have been sent home. A little reminder of what narrators and characters should wear.

Characters 

– Plain black bottoms (leggings/trousers/joggers)

– Plain white t-shirt (short or long sleeved).

– Black trainers or shoes would also be appropriate.

Narrators and non- speaking roles

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
