Primary 1/2 is made up of 13 enthusiastic boys and girls. We are a hardworking class who love learning new things every day. Our teachers are Ms. Melody and Mrs. Harper Titchener, and on Thursdays we are joined by Mrs. Gibson, our music specialist.
Our classroom is a play-based environment, where children have the freedom to learn through play. In Literacy, we are exploring new stories through the Talk4Writing programme, and pupils are enjoying their decodable reading books, which they take home daily to continue building their reading skills. Each week, we also learn new phonics to support our progress.
In Numeracy and Maths, our focus this term is on Place Value, Addition and Subtraction, and Shape. The children enjoy working with a wide range of materials to strengthen their numeracy skills. At home, they can continue practicing by playing games such as Sumdog and Topmarks, and by using QR codes provided in their home learning packs.
Outdoor learning is also very important to us. This term, our topic is Minibeasts, and we will be using our campus forest and visiting the Community Garden to bring our learning to life.
As a school, we work closely with the parishioners of Our Lady and St Cuthbert’s Church. The children attend mass monthly, and families are warmly invited to join our monthly family mass, followed by a breakfast gathering in the church hall.
