Hi,

 

Another fabulous week in Primary 2/1 full of exciting new challenges.  We have been talking a lot about having a growth mindset and have been thinking of sayings to help us send good messages to our brains.  These messages help us to challenge ourselves.  Here are some of the ways we have challenged ourselves this week:

Max – “I challenged myself by doing counting activities and practising every day”

Millie – “The way I challenged myself this week was stations and at home.  I tried to make a tricky word game and learn new tricky words”

Cameron – “I was getting better at numbers, I set challenges for myself”

Griffin – “I was challenging myself to learn new adding strategies like doubling”

Rory – “I challenged myself in phonics.  I read the word on the board then I turned around and tried to write it, it will make me better”

Brandon – “Phonics was tricky this week but I tried my best.  I wrote sentences with a phonic word and a tricky word”

Leila – “In maths we have been doing challenges, I like to challenge myself”

Liam – “I made new friends this week, it was hard at the start”

Emily – “When I’m doing maths I like to do dominoes and when I do the dominoes I count the number and try to find the number pot.  I challenge myself by covering and counting on”

Poppy – “I tried the red challenge for the first time in maths.  We had number fans and we were doing sums and adding by counting on, it was easier than I thought”

Leah – “I did adding sums with the dice, I did good”

Rio – “I was flashing my numbers.  I didn’t count them, that was good”

Keegan – “I flashed numbers to 5.  Next time I will try numbers to 10”

Regan – “I am getting faster at flashing numbers too”

Marley – “I did the red challenge and flipped numbers so the big number was in my head.  It was tricky but good”

Ellie – “I got better at adding by adding new numbers”

Teigan – “I have tried my best with talking to other teachers”

Breaghannon – “I learned new numbers this week.  I am clever”

Jonah – “I tried to think of words with ‘oa’ and ‘oo’.  ‘oo’ is tricky!”

 

Something to remember!

The P1 Christmas Show takes place on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.   We are still waiting for a few costumes to come in before our dress rehearsal on Monday – please can these be brought in on Monday please.  We don’t have extra costumes to provide.   Thank you.
