Come and here us sing a medley of songs with our friends in Primary 1/2 at 9.15pm and buy a coffee and a cake. 🙂

We are learning about ‘families’ as our topic.

In the morning we use our pocket pals to help us write our names and our sounds.

Some of us got to practise our sounds using shaving foam which was lots of fun.

We are getting really good at our rainbow writing.

We played games sorting pictures into the correct sounds.
