Attention all P1 Parents!!

October 2, 2015 Mrs Lloyd 2 Comments

At the open morning I was asked if there was some more information about colourful consonants and vowel house available for parents. To help you to be able to help your child with their sounds and with the mouth part colours I have added two files to the useful documents section. One shows the different mouth parts and the letters that are made in certain parts of the mouth while the other tells the vowel house story. Please let me know how you get on and if you need any more information or clarification.

Firstly, thank you to all who were able to come along to our open morning. Primary 1 loved sharing their learning with you and did themselves proud by showing off their good behaviour too!

Some highlights from this week:

Cameron enjoyed building a lobster in his vertical learning group.

Casey loved when her mum came to the open day.

Abi liked playing games during golden time.

Hannah enjoyed when her grandma and grandad came into school and saw her working on the vowel house.

Kalan liked when his mum came in for the open day and they were writing sounds in the sand.

Tyler enjoyed when his mum came into the class and watched him sorting pictures on the Smartboard.

Isla enjoyed playing with the playdough with her mum.

Charley enjoyed decorating her bucked in the bucket fillers vertical learning group.

Paul enjoyed his mum and gran watching him on the computer during the open morning.

Caleb enjoyed when his buddy Ben ready him a story during buddy time.

Lauren enjoyed her buddies reading ‘Bambi’ to her.

Lots of learning in P2

October 2, 2015 Miss Edmond Leave a comment

This week P2 have been learning how to spell ‘qu’ words. Some of the words that we have learned are:

quick
quiet
queen
quit
quack

Matthew: ‘I learned how to do the Jolly Grammar action for qu‘ (which is to make a beak with your hands like a duck quacking).

Ayla: ‘I liked helping Geraldine the Giraffe find lots of qu words’.

Kiernan: ‘I learned how to spell the word queen’.

Andrew: ‘I really liked watching the qu video on alphablocks’.

During science the children learned all about day and night through a torch and globe experiment. We looked at different nocturnal animals and wondered if there were any of these animals living in our own gardens!

Today P2 worked very hard and had lots of fun during our maths open morning. The children were developing their ordering, counting and adding skills within numeracy through practical activities.

Izaak: ‘I learned how to put all of the numbers in order on the computer game’.

Nicole: ‘I learned how to make a black and white pattern’.

Kieran: ‘I have been learning how to count t0 100 all week’.

Thank you to everyone who came to P2 during the open morning. It was great to see so many of you there to support your child.

This week Kiernan Hunter won the class prize for earning so many dojo points this week. Well done Kiernan!

A busy week in P1a

P1a have been busy this week learning how to add two numbers together e.g. 2 and 4 makes 6.

We have also enjoyed going on shape hunts around the school – We found lots of triangles, rectangles and circles.

In sounds, we learnt the b and f sound. Can you remeber what colours they are?

We have also been learning all the set 1 sight words – The, the, A, I, is. We have been practising writing the words!!!

It was great to see so many parents at the Open Day ! P1a loved showing off their learning !!!

This week in P4/5

October 2, 2015 Mr Herman Leave a comment

We have been very lucky to have Iona from the secondary school in to help us this week. We will miss her lots when she goes back to her own school. We have enjoyed starting our new topic about the Bankton playground, but we found the mapping of the playground quite difficult! We worked really hard to improve our throwing and catching skills in PE. in writing we worked very hard to convince the council not to build houses in our playground. I hope they reconsider (FYI – This was just a hook in our writing, West Lothian Council has no plans to build here!) Our parents came in to visit today to see how we were getting on with our work. It was really fun and good to see the parents in the classroom. Some even got a free art lesson.
