P1/2 have settled back into school life really well this week.  We have been working hard already and are enjoying sitting in our new carpet spots!

On Wednesday, we enjoyed some time in the structured play area using construction materials, reading books in the library corner, exploring emotion works faces, doing jigsaws, drawing and loads more!!

In maths we learned about doubling numbers.  We used playdough and doubled the petals on the flowers, we threw a dice and doubled the number to make an addition sum, we fished for a number using the fishing rod and doubled it when we caught it and we searched through tubs of dominoes to find the ones with doubles on it.  We really impressed Mrs Lloyd!

In literacy, we learned the ‘igh’ sound and tried using it to help us spell some words.  We also used the fly swatter to swat some action flashcards to help us learn to read these tricky words.  It was really fun!

Looking forward to next week already!

Primary one have settled back really well into school life!

We enjoyed telling Miss Rodford all about our holidays and the lovely presents we were given.  In maths, we have been working on doubling numbers to 10  and we used cubes and our fingers to help us with this.  In sounds, we learnt about the ‘igh’ sound and we have also been busy practising our tricky words.

Primary One also had a surprise present from our link school St Julian’s Primary School in Wellow. They sent us a calendar and so pictures from the the children in Cygnet class.  We decided it would be nice to draw and send our own calendars to the children as a thank you!

Well done!
