Happy Halloween from Primary 4!

We had so much fun today celebrating Halloween. We made and decorated Rice Krispies pumpkins- what a wonderful smell they made! We enjoyed playing bingo in the afternoon and also practised our blending skills when making chalky bat pictures!

Over the past few weeks, Primary 4 have enjoyed exploring the changes in the weather. We have explored Autumn through art, poetry and also through a sensory Autumn walk. We made an Autumn display in our classroom to celebrate our fun work!

Primary 2 have had an interesting and hard working week!

In maths we have been learning how numbers are made up by tens and units. We used lots of different materials to build the numbers and are becoming more confident. We even made our own Under the Sea tens and units jelly fish!

Here you can see some of our lovely art work. We have been learning about Under the Sea for our topic and we know a lot about sea horses. We did lots of research and wrote fact files about them.

Being friendly in school is very important and we read a story about some very friendly fish. We think we are very good friends in Primary 2!

Our tens and units skills are improving ad our teacher could not catch us out this week with even the trickiest numbers.

More fabulous Under the Sea art work here! After researching the life cycle of the sea turtle, we drew and painted our own terrific sea turtles.

We have been using the “ck”phoneme this week – look at this fantastic dictated sentence! So neat too!

We have been busy in class. In maths, we have been learning about halves. We can work out how many halves can make a whole, we can count in halves.

In reading, we are looking at non fiction books and learning to use the contents page correctly.

Everyone is enjoying finding out new information about interesting animals, places and people. Some of us are reading about the banana spider!

In our topic work, we are also learning new facts. This week, we have read and researched information about the sea turtle. We have written reports about the life cycle of a sea turtle and we have created our own sea turtles after looking closely at them in their underwater environments.

Also, we have learning a new sound this week, the ee sound, and using it to write new words and sentences.

Welcome to P2! We hope you will enjoy keeping up to date with our learning via the blog.

This week in Primary 1 our focus has been the story of Old Macdonald’s Farm. We listened to the story and learned all about the different animals found on the farm. We even made our own animal puppets to help us act out the song.

Good morning everyone,
so this is the official last day of primary 1 for our wee stars! It is not as we imagined, but I think you would agree that each one of them has shown great resilience and super spirit during the lockdown!
I have put together a power point for the end of term which you can access on the right – End of year Assembly. I hope it brings some nice memories for you and your child. I have loved them all and I really wanted to take them on to P2, so I am delighted that we will all be together again!

The End of the Year

The end has come so very quickly – it’s time to move along,
The final days of this school year have been and now are gone.

This year has been so wonderful; the time has gone so fast,
We’ve learnt so much; had so much fun – the time’s just whizzed past.

Enjoy your summer holidays and get some well-earned rest,
To start the new year full of beans; prepared to try your best.

But I am the lucky one – I’m certain this is true,
Because I get to teach and spend the time next year with you!

Loads and loads of love,
Mrs Carlin
