Today we talked about communication and what skills we need to have good communication.

We then practised good communication whilst sharing with the class our favourite meals. We asked each other questions, spoke clearly and looked at the person who was talking.

Afterwards we drew our favourite meals.

Hi everyone. I hope you had a nice September Weekend and are ready for the week ahead. 

• After the October holidays p1/2 will have P.E. on a Monday. Children are asked to come to school in a pair of jogging bottoms/leggings on this day as well as trainers suitable for taking part in P.E. outdoors. 

• Children should wear their normal school uniform on the top half (polo shirt/shirt/jumper/cardigan). 

• In class we have been LOVING playing a game of iSpy – why not have a game at home with your family.

• Sumdog are holding a competition this week over the whole of Scotland to see who can answer the most questions – log into your Sumdog account to be in with a chance of winning. As a reward for taking part, each pupil who answers 100 questions will receive an item for their Sumdog House! Good luck!

• Please  log into your Active Learn account and read your book for this week. What sounds can you spot? Can you find any of your common words? 

• Point to each word as you read it to make sure you don’t miss any words. Look at the illustrations and the sounds at the start and end of the words to help you. Happy reading!

Primary 1’s

• Thank you to everyone who has been practising your sounds and words at home – it is making a huge difference to your child’s confidence and progress in class! Remember you don’t need to spend hours on these – 5 to 10 minutes is enough. 

•  So far we have learned the sounds: s a t p i r m d e

Today we made flags and walked one whole MILE around the school in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Afterwards we had a picnic on the grass and had a fun play on the hill.

See you all next Tuesday – have a great September Weekend 🌟😀

Today we experimented mixing the 3 primary colours (red, yellow and blue) together to make new colours. We made purple, orange and green.

• Well done to everyone who has been using their Active Learn account to read their book and practising their maths on Sumdog.

Today we used our whiteboards to practise writing our letters and numbers. Miss Murray gave us house points because she was so impressed with how neat our writing was!

Have a great weekend everyone 🎊🎉🌟

As we couldn’t have our usual ‘Meet the Teacher’ event this term, we have each created a short video to introduce ourselves….

What a super girl we had as our Star Pupil this week….well done

Today we did our work in the morning the got to go outside and play in the sun.

Today, during lunch break, these two clever boys made their very own robots from the resources in their trays. Aren’t they super?!

In the afternoon we read ‘The Colour Monster’ and discussed different feelings and emotions. We talked about how our faces change depending on how we are feeling.

We played ‘guess the emotion’ and used playdoh to create our own ‘feeling faces’.

Primary 1’s and Primary 2’s

Everyone has come home with a handprint today – Miss Ferguson has set a whole school homework task. You have to use the fingers to write down or draw different qualities that describe you.

Well done to everyone who has used their Active Learn and Sumdog account  – I heard some super reading in class!

Please log into your Active Learn account and read your book for this week. I have allocated the book suitable for your child’s level.

Sound out the words you are unsure of and look at the illustrations to help you.
