We have had such a busy term with Play Projects, World Book Day, Parents’ Nights and our Scotland Assembly. It was great nice to see so many parents this term and share our learning with you.
Literacy
We have focused a great deal on Talk4Writing . The class has enjoyed learning stories, telling stories, drawing story maps and writing stories. What great imaginations everyone has! Our latest story, “Kasim and the Hungry Dragon” has inspired a great deal of discussion and led to lots of fabulous ideas. Everyone continues to read with their group and complete Higher Order reading activities. It is great to see the progress that children are making.
Numeracy
In Numeracy, we have covered a range of topics this term. These include measure, time and information handling. The children can practise all of these skills at home and demonstrate their practical skills. Multiplication and addition facts continue to be reinforced, as this has helped many children to develop greater confidence, and speed up their calculations.
Health
In PE we have been focused on large ball skills. Everyone has been practising throwing, catching, moving and finding space. We then worked on team skills and how to play games. It is so important to work together to try and score lots of points.
We have also spent the last two weeks participating in “The Big Wheel and Walk”. This encourages pupils to think of the impact of travel, and to find safe healthy ways to travel where possible. Bikeability has also helped everyone to develop greater confidence in their cycling skills.
Reporting and Supporting Learners
This term a new SWAY went out for each child focusing on a week of their learning. I’m sure that the children have enjoyed sharing these with you. You can also follow our learning through our Play Projects. Every month we publish a SWAY showing our learning. Links are in the Google Classroom or here.

Leaning can be supported by families through our weekly Google Classroom activities and through Sumdog. Both of which can be accessed on a range of devices at home.
Thank you again for your support. We are now looking forward to warmer days and even more learning!
