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 1/2 have been busy doing angels for Christmas craft this afternoon.
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.
On Friday the school took part in Children In Need by having a pyjama day. They also did some Pudsey Craft too.
Everyone had a fantastic day!
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.
The good thing about phonics is that we get a craft activity to do when we are learning sounds. These help our cutting skills and we have been busy this morning. Have a look.
Handwriting is very important. It helps us to write letters and words neatly. It is important to make sure you are sitting comfortably when writing. Here we are trying our very best to form some patterns to help us with the trickier letters. This was a challenge but we all managed!
We did some craft today. Everyone did fantastic cutting out for really tricky shapes. It was good to make a moving skeleton.
We always do some craft linked to our language and sounds. This time we were using the tricky sound of u – this year we decided to go for up! We made our very own pictures of up houses. This helped our fine motor skills and listening for instructions, whilst still giving us the chance to be creative.
