Active Literacy, Expressive Arts  H&WB and IDL

P1/2 children have been working hard on their initial sounds, phonemes and common words and have used many different learning opportunities and activities as a stimulus for their learning.  For example A poster for the school Halloween party, an Acrostic Poem about Halloween, fundraising during Rainbow Day for St Andrews  Hospice etc.

Maths  –  Numeracy , Expressive Arts and IDL

Counting, Pattern, 2D/3D shape and Halloween

As the children learn about numeracy counting and pattern the were able to use Halloween and 2D and 3D shape, which they had been learning about, to create a fantastic Halloween necklace made with colourful halloween shapes.  The were able to count out their shapes and colours to make a repeated pattern of their choice to give as a gift or to  wear to their halloween party that night.  Terrific work boys and girls well done.

Learning about traditional books through Panto!

The children of p1/2 with the whole school, had the fantastic opportunity to learn about Treasure Island in an interactive fun way they really enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next one!

The Transport Police – People Who help us and Developing a Young Work force.

P1/2 along with the whole school  also had a fantastic time when the met officers from the Transport police and were able to ask and answer questions about what they do. The children found it very interesting and enjoyed learning all about their work.

Parent Council Halloween Party

One of the Highlights of October for P1/2 was the fantastic Halloween party organised for the whole school by the Parent Council.  So much work had gone into making this so special for the children and they enjoyed it very much.  Thank you once again for giving up your time to  support  the children in this way and  giving them another  fond memory to add to their Holy Family Collection.

P1/2 also enjoyed creating their Halloween ghosts to decorate the class and take home.

Fantastic work  P1/2 you have really worked hard throughout October and have had lots of fun too!  Well done.
