Huge thanks go to Miss Campbell who showed off her cooking skills today when she worked with some children from P1a and P1/2 to prepare the vegetables that we harvested last week to make a delicious pot of soup. The children did really well chopping and grating the vegetables and thoroughly enjoyed tasting the delicious soup. One pupil did describe the soup as being better than gran’s carrot soup however we did advise her not to say that to gran!! Well done boys and girls – great work!

Where to start!
This week we enjoyed some good weather and went outside for our daily mile. The children walked well and showed good stamina.
In maths we have learned lots of different things. We have been working on recognising and sorting the coins to £2.
We have been revising 2D shapes and have been thinking about their properties.
We have also been working hard on forming our numbers correctly and on sequencing the numbers in the right order. We are getting better at this!
We are also working on reading and writing the number names and are beginning to be able to sound out some of the words.
As well as all this maths we were also working on our sounds. We have begun using the colourful consonants mouth parts to spell out words and are continuing to practise forming our sounds correctly.
Keep up the good work Primary 1/2 and keep up the good growth mindset – keep thinking I can’t do it …….yet!!
This week in our topic work we were learning all about harvest. We learned about the sequence of events that farmers go through to harvest their crops and even had a go at harvesting and digging up some vegetables from the vegetable patch in school. It was great fun and we managed to harvest some very small carrots and some huge potatoes! Miss Cambell helped us and she has offered to work with us next week to make some tasty vegetable soup. We are really looking forward to this. Thank you Miss Campbell.
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents that were able to come along to our PATPAL event on Tuesday. There was a great turnout and the children were very excited to share their learning about money with you and to encourage you to have a go too!! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!!

We made some super bats which look very cute and have also been working very hard to improve our handwriting!
In maths, we have been learning about different dot patterns and how to count carefully and slowly. We also learnt about 2D shapes such as triangle, rectangle, square and circles. We have fun making super shape tractors and had to think about shapes we could use to build the picture.
Circles are round and they look like a wheel! – Jamie Watters

Your education should help you use and develop
your talents and abilities.
This week for our topic we have looked at different styles of houses in the ares. Some houses don’t have stairs. We took a walk around the area and saw bungalows and attached houses. Some people have neighbours underneath them or above them.
We have continued our number talks looking at both adding and take away this week. We continue to use our friendly number strategies. We were lucky to have parents and grandparents in to visit us on our PATPAL morning. This was a chance for us (this kids) to teach adults how to add and subtract money.
Our emotion work cog this week looked at the triggers that start our emotions. We found out that for a few of us peas triggered the disgust emotion.
Please remember that parent’s evening is next week, on Wednesday and Thursday!
