Fun in the sun and some structured play!

September 29, 2015 Mrs Lloyd Leave a comment

P1b had fun outside with the parachute today and were practising their listening skills at the same time! They managed to put the parachute high up in the air and also worked together as a team to keep the ball on it!

Afterwards, we went to the structured play area and worked hard making some healthy meals at the craft table, investigating with the cars in the small world, threading and working on our fine motor skills to make creative pictures and role-playing in the house corner. What a busy day!!!

Nursery

We’re going on a sign hunt!

September 28, 2015 Mrs Thomson Leave a comment

Last week the nursery went out in the local area to look for signs.

We found lots of different ones and many of us used the cameras to take photos of them. 100_8073 100_8067

We noticed that signs can have words, numbers and pictures on them.

What signs do you see on the way to nursery?

What a week!!

September 25, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

Isabel, Matthew Carla had lots of fun making a dog house and Morgan had fun playing with the magnetic squares and triangles in golden time. Jack enjoyed learning about 3 d shapes in maths and says, “A 3d shape you can see all around you but a 2d shape is flat.” Carlos liked finding out about different lines in symmetry. P4 are feeling sad because Mrs Porteous is leaving and we will miss her but we hope that she will be very happy in her new job. We are sure that she will be proud of us because we won the Goblet of Good Manners this week. Mrs Balfour is very impressed with us.

The Week in P4/5

September 25, 2015 Mr Herman Leave a comment

This week has been a very short and busy week. We once again enjoyed the National Youth Choir of Scotland and their very fun games and songs. We are very excited for what will come next! Katie thought the writing was very fun this week as we were writing our own set of instructions for George’s Marvelous Medicine. Ella Gordon was our Star Writer! Jenny from Niamh’s Brownie’s group came to join us for our P.E. lesson. (Jenny is a doll!) Liam had really good fun sorting very larger numbers. Chloe Bell and Hannah won our Dojo points for the week and Deano had an excellent week and won Star of the Week in assembly!

Salut!

Today was European Languages Day. We celebrated it in style by using our mapping skills to identify countries, flags and capital cities.

We also had fun singing ‘Let it go’ but in 26 languages. Can you name them all?

Vowel House

September 25, 2015 Mrs Lloyd Leave a comment

This week P1b have been introduced to the vowel house story. The children really enjoyed listening to the story and worked very hard on all of the activities. Try asking your child about the vowel house story! I am sure you will be super impressed!

Sounds work in P1b

September 25, 2015 Mrs Lloyd Leave a comment

The boys and girls have been busy working on using all of their set 1 sounds to begin to sound out words. The independent challenge this week was to pick a picture and use the coathanger sounds to try to make the word. Mrs Lloyd was very impressed at how well the children did! Take a look for yourself!

A busy week in P1a

September 25, 2015 Miss Rodford 1 Comment

This week, P1A have been learning all about the vowel house and the characters in the story.

Cye – There was an old man and he made the ‘ai’ sound.

Chloe – The donkey was making the ‘ee – or ‘ sound.

Charlie – There was a ghost and he made the ‘oo’ sound.

Jack M – The man made the ‘oa’ sound becuase he was scared of the ghost.

We also learnt the sight word ‘is’

Leah – I liked writing ‘is’.

Kayleigh – I liked painting ‘is’.

In maths, we learnt about one more and one less.

Cye – one more than 7 is 8

Fraser – One less than 10 is 9

Savannah – I liked matching the Dominos to the numbers.

Today is European Language Day, so we practised saying our names in French and we learnt to sing a song.

P1a have worked really hard at their activities and produced some super work!! well done P1a.

Amazing Writing

September 24, 2015 Mrs Sinclair Leave a comment

The P7 writing group have been working very hard today and have collaborated to produce this amazing piece of writing. We hope you like it!

The Tsunami

Everywhere I look, the landscape has been taken over with rubbish, rats and blood stains.

My fists are locked with anger because this wave has destroyed my life.

The air is filled with sounds of other people’s screams and cries.

There is a disgusting smell of sewage all around me.

The most important things in my life have gone!

Money Money Money……..

September 23, 2015 Mrs Lloyd Leave a comment

Over the past couple of weeks, P1b have been learning all about money. We have been looking at all the different coins and have been sorting, matching and ordering these. We know that the coins have different values and are different shapes and colours. Have a look at us working hard!
