Today we were working hard in the garden, we weeded and dug through some compost. When the ground was ready we planted some speedy mix salad leaves.  🥬

This week in art we were using black paint to create these detailed houses. We had to control our paintbrush to create lines and patterns and work together to share resources and tidy up.

A Christmas Tree With Presents 🎁

Butterflies and Flowers

We worked with a partner to build doubles to 20. We recorded our sums on our whiteboards.

Last week we were building and reading words with the th sound. We shared the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the and three both have the th sound in them. We made some finger puppets of the different characters and used them to retell the story. We drew the bears and wrote a description to match our pictures.

This week each group has to build a marble run. They have to build the longest marble run they can using only 10 pieces of run out of a possible 20. They have to begin by measuring and comparing the different pieces before fitting them together.

Primary 1 are continuing to watch the different birds visiting the bird table, it is always very busy with chaffinches, coal tits, robins, sparrows, great tits and blue tits. We also have a lot of pigeons and a blackbird! The oyster catchers are back on the school roof hopefully getting ready to lay their eggs.

Today we were being creative in our play, the girls made this beautiful bird out of the linking elephants!

Last week we had to work together, in our group, to sort a set of  flowers. We decided to sort them in height order. We had to talk together about which was the longest and then the shortest. After comparing the flowers we arranged them.

We have been using our coins to make different amounts of money. Today we played a money game with our partner, we had to guess what coin our partner had by asking them different questions such as what colour is it? Is it round?
