We are delighted to share our first class photo of the new Primary 1/2 class for this session! We are sure we are going to have a super year of fun and learning together.
Welcome to the P1/2 Class of 2017-18
Happy Holidays!
This will be the last post of session 2016/17! We’ve all had a super year together. I look forward to having some of the P1 pupils back after the summer and I know they will help me settle the new P1 pupils in. Today has been a fun day at school…made all the better by some good news from Mrs Henderson!! We enjoyed a visit from Granny Smith who came in to play in the Teachers V Pupils netball match. Not sure she was much of an asset but it made us laugh!! Thank you for all the kind cards, messages and gifts I received today…very much appreciated. Thank you for your support and happy holidays everybody! See you on Wednesday 16th August!!
What a fast year!
A PowerPoint was made for Open Afternoon which showed how we all looked on the first day of P1/2 and then we took an up-to-date photo to show how much we’ve grown and changed and the pupils told me about what they felt they had achieved over the year, what they were proud of and what they remembered. If you didn’t manage to see this on Open Afternoon…here it is! One more day to go!
Lost Jumper
This school jumper has been unclaimed for a few weeks now. Does it belong to your child? Please let me know before it goes into the lost property box. Thank you!
Looking back at our P1/2 goals
Today we have been looking back at the goals we set at the beginning of the year. It was good fun to look back at our writing and drawings – especially for P1. Such a lot has changed over the course of the year and it’s so encouraging to see the growth of all the pupils. We’ve been updating our progress – thinking about whether we’ve achieved our goals, how we did it and what we still need to work on to get us there. Look out for this being sent home over the next few days. Well done P1/2!
SPORTS DAY
What a super sports day! Primary 1/2 were so well behaved all day and waited very patiently for their turn to run. When it came to their events, everybody joined in and gave everything they had! I am so proud of all your achievements and Mrs Henderson would be too! Thank you to all those who came to support us throughout the day and cheer us on. We’ll all sleep tonight!
Active Maths
The end of term is fast approaching but we’re still busy working on our Maths. Some pupils had to work together to choose a starting number and write the following numbers in sequence. Then they had to work together to find the number that was half way between and mark it in a special way. That seemed to be the easy part! There was a lot of discussion and negotiations to be worked through first but we got there in the end.
The rest of the class were working out number problems and after being given a total to make, they had to find a partner who would help them make that total. They also had to choose the correct plus or minus sign to go with their sums.
Music
I was called in at the end of P1/2’s Music lesson with Mrs Inkster today to listen to their beautiful singing and instrument playing. I was really impressed with how they were able to keep the beat! We had a few missing pupils today. We hope they are feeling better very soon!IMG_2072
Good Luck Mrs Henderson!
Today we say goodbye to Mrs Henderson as she leaves us to start her maternity leave. She has been showered with gifts, cards and beautiful pictures! We surprised her with a special video we made to “fill her bucket” and with flowers and gifts too. We wish her well and look forward to seeing her soon….
Outdoor Education Day – 18th May
Thanks to the glorious Shetland weather, we were able to do all our planned activities today! We started off at the Boddam play park to do an experiment on forces. Then, in groups, we had to show forces at work using the play equipment. After some time inside looking at Electricity with Mr Rose, it was back outside to do a spot of reading before we joined the rest of the school on our whole school walk. A full day of learning and fresh air!
