LITERACY
P1/2 are back working as hard as ever after their Christmas and New Year Holiday. The children enjoyed their first Visit back to the Library and we were able to walk this time as it wasn’t quite so blustery as last time. Thank you again for the support of our Parents/ Grandparents and Carers as their help, enabled us to do this.
The children have also been working hard on their writing and taught writing tasks. They have written recounts of their Holidays, The visit from the S.S.P.C.A, written Book Reports and have even written Acrostic Poems for Robert Burns day. Here are some of our star Writers. (More to Come)
NUMERACY
In Math’s and Numeracy the children have enjoyed their learning, particularly through their Math’s Stations, enabling them to consolidate and develop their learning in a variety of ways, giving them personalisation and choice .
The children have also continued to work on money and enjoyed actively participating in their learning through the stations but also through song, I.C.T and group work etc.
Using ‘Number Talks’ / ‘Seal’ approaches and the resources to support and develop the children in their learning, has also engaged the children and enable them to have fun with their learning.
HEALTH AND W ELLBEING (H&WB) – ACTIVE
Dental Visits
The children of P1 met the Dentist to have their teeth counted this week and our Dental Nurse was very impressed when the children of P1/2 demonstrated how efficiently and carefully they cleaned their teeth, when she came in to visit them on Thursday.
P.E.
GYMNASTICS
Before P1/2 begin learning about Gymnastics with Miss Stevens, their first learning experience has been to revisit their learning about ‘Safety’ and to put into place their own new safety rules, (e.g. following instructions, lining up, turn taking, moving from one piece of apparatus to the other etc.,) as they actively participate in their Gymnastics lessons.
FOOTBALL
The children of P1 are really excited about having their on Special Football Coach, to teach them some of the skills and different techniques that can enable them to become successful in this sport. They had fun playing the games that support the learning of these skills and they particularly enjoyed putting what they have learned into practice when they played each other in a game of football at the end of their sessions.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ICT
P1/2 also enjoyed exploring the various tools on Tux Paint as they created Scottish flags for Burns Day with Miss Gallagher.
SOCIAL SCIENCES TOPIC – DINOSAURS
The children of P 1/2 are really excited about their ‘Dinosaur’ topic and with their teachers have been discussing ‘What they already know ‘ and ‘What they would like to know’ so that together we can plan their learning . They have already started to make their Dinosaur Cave and have lots of exciting learning ahead. Watch this space for new pics!
EXPRESSIVE ARTS
ART
P1/2 have created terrific firework artwork as the learning about New Year Resolutions and how we celebrate New Year.
