Today, as part of our topic, we compared toys from the past to our toys now.

We then mixed paint and used fine brush strokes to paint different toys from the past.

There was lots of concentration.

Today we learned all about clocks and how to tell the time when it is ‘o’clock’.

We then made our very own clocks by writing the numbers on our clock face, cutting out 2 hands and setting the time.

We decorated them afterwards.

Today in numeracy the p2’s learned about odd and even numbers and the primary 1’s learned about the story of 10.

This afternoon we were thoroughly entertained at ‘Woodlands Got Talent’.

Well done to everyone that got up on stage and performed. What a great show you all put on.

Today we read ‘Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr.

We then listened to this singalong song on YouTube and  danced along to it.

Afterwards we created our own ‘Tiger Tea’ pictures.

In maths we have been learning all about the 12 months of the year and the 4 seasons.

Today we drew a picture representing each season. We then shared our pictures with a friend and told each other something we liked about their work.

Please look in your child’s homework folder for an important letter regarding tomorrow’s visit from NSPCC.

Today, as part of our topic, we learned about clothes from the past. We learned that instead of buying clothes from a shop lots of people knitted their own clothes.

We watched a video of a lady knitting a dress and looked at knitting needles.

Afterwards we used the wool to make clothes for our ‘puppet from the past’.

Show and Tell 

• Show and Tell will now only be on a Friday afternoon. Children can bring in a toy or a story to share with the class if they wish – please be aware that this is optional and in no way obligatory.
