What a brilliant afternoon we had a Woodlands Got Talent! There were lots of super acts – singing, dancing and even some magic tricks!

Our class was represented by a singer & we are delighted that she came 3rd!

I can’t believe we are at the end of another week. The class have worked so hard this week completing lots of tricky tasks like learning the months of the year, addition sums and learning about planting potatoes.

We had some special helpers join us in the Learning Zone this morning – the Primary 7’s helped us go onto Sum Dog & helped us to create some models. It was hard to tell who had the most fun!!

In gym today we were practicing our balancing skills.

I hope you all have a brilliant holiday & I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday 14th!

What a busy week. We have been working so hard!

I apologise it’s taken me so long to thank you all for coming to the Parent Open Morning last Friday – it was lovely to see so many of you there!

Today we had a look inside our special box from Summerlee to find out all about when Gran was a Girl. We loved trying on all of the clothes, using the camera & feeling how heavy the roller skates were. We even danced along to some of Grannie’s favourite tunes – Shang a Lang by The Bay City Rollers & Daddy Cool by Boney M!

Primary 1 have been busy bees this week – working very hard on all of our tasks. We loved our new book Wee Granny’s Magic Bag & have been sharing why our grannies and grandpas are so special to us.

Our reading this week has been fantastic – so please remember to bring reading books every day! We are really improving with fluency and by practising our common words we are becoming more confident.

We enjoyed the Learning Zone with Mr Green this morning. Some of us built new cars to drive & take to the garage.

Later we loved a run around in the gym playing Planes & Helicopters & then Follow the Leader. We played one of our favourite games ‘Corners’ to finish off. Our cheeks were rosy after all that exercise!

Have a great weekend!

We’ve had a really good day – working so hard.  We talked about Rex the Retriever and how he can find information. We found information in our book The Magic Porridge Pot and wrote about the beginning and the end of the story.

We wanted to show you how much fun the Christmas Learning Zone is! We had a great time this morning on Free Play Friday – we explored lots of areas and played with some new toys 🙂

What a busy day!

We created snowy pictures this morning for our writing programme and then we went to explore the Christmas Learning Zone.

This afternoon we worked on The Story of 3 and then we played some of our new maths games.

Happy St Andrew’s Day everyone!

We had a brilliant time this morning on the assault course. I’m afraid the class IPad couldn’t keep up with them – some of the photos are a bit blurry!!!

We also enjoyed revising our common words with a game of Splat!

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

We decided to have Free Play Friday a day early today as we won’t be in the Learning Zone tomorrow! We had real cups of tea in the house, a poorly turtle at the vets and a lovely, cosy time in the reading house.

During reading time today the Blue Group were fantastic at reading ‘Shopping’ – for an extra practise they read to a cuddly toy!

REMEMBER tomorrow we are going along to the assault course so children can come in their gym clothes – joggies, leggings, t-shirts or tops.

It’s also St Andrew’s Day so a wee bit of tartan can be worn too 🙂
