This week, the P1s were learning how to add numbers together. We had a new play area for Maths which we used. We also used numicon, logs and pinecones to help us add together. P2s learned to count on and back in 2s and we also learned about odd and even numbers. We were introduced to Odd Todd and Even Steven. Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8. Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. We played a game called ‘Popcorn’ to help us with this.
In Writing, we wrote letters to someone who we think makes a good friend. We wanted to make that person feel happy about themselves.
In Topic, we were using the laptops to look at houses for sale. We had to record the information we found using tally marks. We found that the most popular type of house online was a detached house.
Our Activity Room has changed a lot and we are very happy about this! We now have a Maths and Numeracy corner, a Role Play corner, Reading Corner, a Reading Den, ICT Corner, Writing Corner and a Construction Corner. In our Role Play area just now, we are pretending to be Estate Agents. We are delighted to have more space in this room.
On Friday morning, our Scots poem finalists recited their poems in the Largs Cronies Competition. Well done to Kara in P1 and Brodie in P2 who won a medal. Everybody did extremely well and Mrs Docherty is SUPER proud of you all!
Our final quote of the day:
“Be happy when you come out of school!” – Simran
“Have fun every day!” – Catalina
