The Primary7 buddies enjoyed taking the Primary 1s on a phonics treasure hunt. It seemed to be a hit for everyone , even Mrs Moss got involved.

We love when our buddies come into the class to see us and work with us. Here they are helping Primary 1 do some phonics craft.
Primary 1 are doing well with their phonics and were e learning about the letter u and the sound it makes. They then made some umbrellas and continued to build on their fine motor skills. It looked like great fun.
The class were reading What the ladybird heard at the seaside by Julia Donaldson. They loved it and wanted to do a Hall of Fame from the story. They have done a great job.
We have been reading Detective Dog by Julia Donaldson, it was great! It got us onto speaking about our favourite stories, there are so many, but we managed to narrow it down!
Here are our book cover designs for our favourite stories.
Betty o Barley and Harry o Hay are getting married. Betty wanted a dress of white feathers but this week there a problem, there were no feathers to make her dress and she couldn’t get a dress like that! Primary 1/2 decided to help her by designing some dresses. Here they are, I wonder which one she would choose?
Tiddler is a lovely story about a fish. Primary 1/2 enjoyed it, getting into the read and respond mood with parts of it. They even linked it to other things. Through discussion in the book Primary 1/2 thought they could help Miss Skate teach the Tiddler and the class about different types of boats to watch out for. They worked in pairs to draw different types of boats. They are pretty cool, please take a look.
After reading Tabby McTat the class decided to see what he would need to help look after him. Here were the essentials they thought he needed. That old checked hat seems to be very important!
We start the day with what we call a soft start activity. This ties in with emerging literacy and this time we are building towers with Lego. We have a fun activity to start and it helps with our motor skills.
Mrs Inkster times us to see how big our tower with the first go, then we timed again to see if it can be taller on the next turn. We love it and are always amazed how the tower grows!
Part of maths each day is learning through activities or active maths. This can done in many ways. We are currently learning number at the moment in Primary 1/2. Primary 2 are making a number line to hop along to help with their maths. Primary 1 are making numbers 1 and 2 with Playdoh. Then they were making one or two things to go with the number, some of these things were in the book Tiddler by Julia Donaldson.
