Good Morning P1b,

I hope you are all enjoying the snow.  There are some winter activities on the blog (under the useful documents heading) if you are needing a wee rest from buiding snowmen and throwing snowballs!  We’ve been learning about lots of different things in class recently – why not have a go at making a symmetrical picture of having a look around the house for items that use batteries or mains electricity.  If you’d like to leave a wee comment I’d love to know what you’ve been up to!

Have a great day and I’ll see you again soon.

Mrs Lloyd

Good morning P3/4. I hope you are having lots of fun playing in the snow.  As soon as I’ve finished some marking, Nikki and myself are planning to build snowmen as well as snowball fights. Please feel free to write a comment and let me know what you’ve been up to throughout the day.  Thanks Mrs Sinclair

P1b were working hard with Mr Muldoon in the gym hall this week practising their gymnastics skills.  Take a peek at some of their super work!

Primary 1b worked really hard during our World of Work Week and enjoyed dressing up as different jobs.  Can you guess the jobs we do?!

We were also very lucky to have Mrs Whiteman come in to tell us all about her job of Support Worker.  She told us all about what she does in her job and shared some of the skills that she needs to use.  We asked lots of good questions and thoroughly enjoyed her visit.  Thank you for coming into speak to us.

In maths, we practised matching number names to pictures and numerals – our sounding out skills are helping us to do this.  We have also been working hard to form our numbers neatly and correctly and have been using our number lines to help us do this.  We worked on our number stories to 5 and used our screening cards to hide some cubes so that we could use different strategies to work out how many were hidden.

We have also began learning to read o’clock times on both digital and analogue clocks.  We made our own clocks to help us with this.

In topic work we received another letter from the dragon and he even bought us one of Cinderella’s glass slippers.  We had a challenge to make another shoe for Cinderella and had to work with a partner and follow a design brief to do this.  Our shoes had to measure 10 cubes long, have a strap and they had to include some sort of pattern.  They look fantastic!

Out in structured play we used the construction to build a castle for the dragon and enjoyed playing snakes and ladders and dressing up in the role play area.  We also got very creative and enjoyed using a variety of media to create our own masterpieces.

Finally, we enjoyed using our skills in the gym hall to work together with P1a to complete a variety of Fairytale circuits.  We were doing step ups on the bench and pretending to climb the beanstalk, we were jumping the hurdles and pretending that we were on our horses, we balanced quoits on our heads for our crown training, we threw beanbags in the hoops and pretended these were Jack’s magic beans being planted, we balanced and walked across the bench pretending that this was the bridge from the three billy goats gruff.  It was soooooooo much fun!
