Primary 1/2 – Term 3

We now have 24 pupils in our class.  We have 14 P2 pupils and 10 Primary 1 pupils. In our class we show we are ready, respectful and safe.

• January is our Scottish culture month and we will be learning about where Scotland is in the world, our flag and tartan!  We will also be learning a Scots poem: Mince and Tatties (P1) and Street Talk (P2).  Following Scottish culture month, we will move onto looking at a history topic called “Early Man”.  We will learn all about what life was like many, many years ago in the Stone Age!
• In Maths this term we will be focusing on numeracy, especially addition and subtraction.  We will also be looking at odd and even numbers and number words.  P2 will be learning some different mental and written strategies to help them in their addition and subtraction.
• In Literacy, we will begin with a Talk4Writing unit based on the story “Elmer” by David McKee.  We will explore the themes of diversity and friendship.  We will continue to build our knowledge in phonics and strategies to help us in our reading.
• This term, we will all be developing our gymnastic skills in PE with our PE specialist, Mr Crookston.
• We will continue to develop our technology skills weekly with the school iPads and laptops. We will be having lots of fun on the interactive whiteboard as well.
• Keep checking Teams and X for regular updates of what we have been up to each week in class
