We started this term with learning about the Scots Language. We learned the songs “Jeannie McColl” and performed this at our Scottish afternoon. Primary 1 learned the poem “Mince and Tatties”, Primary 2  did “Crocodile”  and Primary 3 learned “The Sair Finger”. We are so proud of every single one of the pupils for taking the time at home to learn their poem. A big thank you to everyone at home for your help!

With the poetry theme we took on the challenge of becoming poets during our Talk for Writing sessions. We looked at different techniques such as, rhyme, alliteration and similes and used these to create a number of poems.

In maths we have been learning about money and measure, as well as a big focus on number. It has been great to see so many of the pupils challenging themselves with higher numbers and using the concrete materials to help them.

PE days this term will continue to be a Monday and Thursday, please make sure your child has a change of clothes and appropriate trainers / gym shoes on these days.
