\ud83d\udc4b Hello and welcome to our wonderful Primary 1\/2 class, which is taught by Mrs Docherty (Monday – Wednesday)and Mrs Finlayson (Wednesday – Friday). We have 19 children in our class (9 primary 1 children and 10 primary 2 children).\u00a0 We use play based learning and teacher-led experiences.\u00a0 Our classroom and open area are always VERY busy!<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcd6 All children enjoy learning phonics through the Jolly Phonics program.\u00a0 We share information including the actions, and song and sound files with parents and carers weekly to help support your children with their learning. We also develop our reading fluency and comprehension skills through the ORT reading scheme, and the children enjoy taking their books home.\u00a0 We regularly access QR codes for the children to practise their literacy skills via online games.\u00a0 Active and play based learning experiences make up a significant part of our literacy learning.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd22 We split numeracy and maths between the teachers to ensure continuity and progression, currently Mrs Docherty is teaching numeracy and Mrs Finlayson is teaching maths, however we do swap this around.\u00a0 As with literacy, children learn through a variety of play, active and ICT activities.<\/p>\n
\u26f9\ufe0f\u200d\u2640\ufe0fOur P.E. days are Tuesday afternoon with Mrs Docherty, and Friday afternoon with Mrs Finlayson.\u00a0 We also have outdoor learning\u00a0 on a Wednesday afternoon, which we each lead on alternate weeks. \ud83c\udf3b<\/p>\n
This term our topic is Shops & Shopping \ud83d\udecd\ufe0f – and we are exploring different types of shops.\u00a0 In addition to we will link our numeracy topic of money to encourage coin recognition and give the children\u00a0 the opportunity to buy and sell through play based activities.\u00a0 \u00a0Sorry in advance for the request for pocket money to go shopping! \ud83e\udd2d<\/p>\n
