We had a fun filled December, between our fantastic Nativity, the Christmas Fayre and our Christmas party with our special visitor.

This term we will be learning Mandarin with Weiming and so far we are really enjoying learning new phrases and words.

Some great number work in Primary 1.

Finding the missing numbers in addition stories.

Using cubes and number lines to help us calculate addition facts.

World Book Day – 7th March 2024

The children were busy on World Book day completing lots of tasks about the The Gingerbread Man story,

Literacy

We are becoming very confident at reading and writing CVC words and we are having great fun using the magnetic boards to help.

We have also been using CVC headbands to play our partner game.

TECHNOLOGY

We have been learning to sew, and we practised threading a needle and sewing on paper. We are learning to sew a running stitch and are making felt glove puppets. We can’t wait to show you our fantastic creations when they are completed.
