Over the past two weeks Room 1 have been very busy! During their literacy time the class have been working on their letter formation and handwriting. They have been practising each letter in their jotter, as well as using play-doh and laminated mats to make and trace each letter. At reading time, the Tiger group have worked hard. They are taking turns in reading to each other and working to complete missing word tasks using their book.
Miss. Bond has introduced ‘Number Talks’ to her class, using a ten frame to help with the recognition of numbers to ten. The class have enjoyed learning to use the frames.
On Thursday 2nd March it was World Book Day and the class enjoyed a visit from Primary 6 and 7. The classes buddied up and the older children took the time to read a story. Miss. Bond dressed as the Rainbow Fish and characters such as Harry Potter and a Power Ranger came to school! In the afternoon Mr. Murray took the class for some P.E games, including Battleships.

I have been impressed by the progress made in this class. Reading and writing continues to improve and you are beginning to use different strategies in numeracy work. Well done and keep up the good work.
