What a great week!

Pupil of the week – Nathan

Table of the week – Sharpeners

We have all really settled well into P4a and we are ready for a great first term. We have been discussing how a positive mindset influences how we learn and we will all try to keep a positive attitude towards our learning.

Literacy

We have been learning about the life of Mary Queen of Scots and have used this as a focus for our writing this week. We used a writing planner to record the facts that we needed. We then used the planner to help structure a newspaper birth announcement.

Maths

We have been learning how to use loop cards to help with our recall of the times tables. We will record how long it takes us to complete the loop each time and gradually get quicker. We have all made a times table helper and are looking forward to some exciting games and activities in the coming weeks that will develop our understanding and recall of the times tables.

HWB

We are very lucky to have Mrs McKenzie to teach us in Health and Wellbeing. This week we were discussing what strengths we have and here are some of our comments ….

Ellis – I am friendly to others

Donna- I am an honest person

Brooke – I am a happy person

Ross- I am kind to others

P.E

In P.E. this week we were learning about teamwork. This is important in almost everything we do in school. We played the castles game and had to work together to stop people from knocking our castle down. We are also very excited that we now get to use the changing rooms and we are learning how to behave when we use them.

Thankyou to everyone who managed to come along to meet the teacher on Wednesday.

Have a great weekend!!
