Room 2! :-)

Room 2 have been feeling very festive this week.

On Wednesday, we had a Christmas lunch. The Primary 7’s put on some live entertainment, dancing along to some classic Christmas songs. The dining hall was decorated with lovely gold table covers and centrepieces and it looked amazing!

OMcM – I had steak pie.

LM – I had turkey.

SC – I had turkey too.

TD – We made Christmas placemats for our trays to go on.

MM – We did a colour competition (placemats) to see who could win. NP and TD won!

For Numeracy, our focus has been measure this week.

SC – We learned ‘long’ and ‘short’. We had to find things that are long and short.

MJ – We were measuring snakes and had to put the shortest to longest.

DP – We made cards with Miss Macfarlane and we also did them with our friends in Room 19.

ASC – We were decorating them with lots of bright colours and we were making a sign that said Merry Christmas.

On Tuesday 16th December, we will be having our class Christmas party. The children can come to school wearing their party clothes, there is no need to bring a change of clothes. Our party is in the morning. We will have PE on Monday 15th instead of Tuesday next week. Thank you for your support with this. 🙂

Room 3

We’ve had a busy and exciting week filled with new learning, hands-on activities and a little festive fun!

In Literacy, we introduced two new sounds: o and f. The children enjoyed practising their new sounds through games, magnetic boards, rainbow writing and tracing letters. Additionally, learners had to match the picture to the correct sound and draw different items with this week’s new sounds. In Maths, we began our new topic on Measure, focusing specifically on length. The key vocabulary this week was long and short and the children took part in several practical activities to help them compare and describe different lengths. With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve started to add a little seasonal sparkle to our afternoons. The children enjoyed some relaxing Christmas colouring, choosing from festive pictures and showing great concentration and creativity.

This week we also enjoyed our Christmas lunch, which was a real highlight for the children. They loved sitting together with their friends and enjoying a delicious festive meal. The hall was filled with music, excitement and lots of smiling faces. It was a lovely way for the children to celebrate the season and get excited for Christmas.

Our Christmas party is on Tuesday 16th December. Please bring your child to school in their party clothes. We can’t wait to have lots more festive fun next week!

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Room 5

This week in Room 5 we have been learning the ‘ou’ sound for phonics. We did lots of different tasks to help us remember it and how to spot ‘ou’ not ‘ow’ when we hear the same sound. We completed lots of different chilli challenges in Maths which were about all of the things we have learned so far, 2D shape, Measure, Multiplication, Division, Numbers to 100, Addition and Subtraction. It has been a ‘mind challenging’ week!

This week was our christmas concert, and we really enjoyed taking part. It was so much fun and we wish we could do it all over again. Thank you to everyone who came along to see us.

Pupil Voice:

Alice: I have enjoyed doing our Christmas Concert it was so much fun.

CJ: I had fun playing.

Lewis: I enjoyed making boats with Alex R and Blake during play.

Ollie: I enjoyed learning about ‘ou’ words, i like the word ‘proud’.

Alex M: I enjoyed doing arts and crafts today with the paper plates.

Sam: I had fun at the Christmas Concert.

Next week on Monday is our Party. Children can come dressed up OR dressed down, and they do not need to wear uniform. Snacks will be provided for the party by parent council and these will be given out in the afternoon due to our party being before lunch.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.Miss Livingstone and Room 5

SC – We were watching Santa to see what he was doing.

OMcM – We did our nativity for all our parents. I was a narrator and I liked being a narrator.

MM – We were learning how to write in our jotters.

AH – We were learning some of our nativity songs. 

ASC – We were working so hard on our show.

LH – We are trying to line up the best.

IJ – We were singing songs. 

We would like to thank all of our parents/carers and family members for coming along to see our Nativity shows on Thursday. It was such a great feeling to see you all in the audience and really helped give us a little confidence boost. We hope you enjoyed the shows. Thank you again for your cooperation and support with learning lines at home and organising costumes. It was greatly appreciated, thank you! 🙂

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

A fantastic week in Room 3!

We are still glowing with pride after our lovely Nativity performance. The children worked so hard to learn their lines, songs and actions, and it was wonderful to see their confidence shine on stage.

A huge thank you to all the parents, carers, friends and family members who were able to join us. Your support means so much to the children and they were incredibly excited to perform for you. We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed preparing it!

Even with all the excitement of Nativity rehearsals, we’ve been busy in the classroom too!
 This week we focused on the sounds ‘g’ and ‘l’. The children enjoyed practising how to say, read and write the sounds and had great fun spotting words that begin with them. In maths, we continued practising addition within 5. The children completed a variety of active activities  to help develop their confidence.

Thank you again for your continued support—especially during such a busy and exciting time of year. We are incredibly proud of all the children and everything they’ve achieved.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Room 5

Happy Friday from everyone in Room 5.

This week we learned a new sound ‘ow’ and practiced our common words ‘how, where, now, too’. We have one more sound to cover before Christmas and that is ‘ou’ as in ’round’ and we will cover this next week. In maths we have been consolidating addition and subtraction by learning how to use the number square to help us add and subtract 10.

We have been working really hard on learning our lines and songs for the christmas concert. This will be on Wednesday 10th December at 9:30 and we can wear anything festive.

Here is some pupil voice:

CJ: I had fun doing the jotter tasks and weekend news.

AT: I have enjoyed learning our new sound ‘ow’ for ‘meow’

AD: I enjoyed making a Christmas Card for my mum and dad.

LS: I liked drawing with Leo during play.

BK: I really liked learning take away 10 sums and enjoyed the number square.

 

Thanks so much,

Have a lovely weekend.

Room 11 Nine crafts for Christmas

As part of the countdown to Christmas, Room 11 are completing a different Christmas Craft each day with Mrs Sheed.  Not only are these crafts a great way for the kids to get creative, they also help with their fine motor and listening skills.  So far, we have made miniature wreaths, gingerbread house garlands and an origami 3D star.  The kids have found some of this quite tricky but they look forward to finding out what we are doing each day and enjoying the finished product!
