Last week P1/2 worked hard in all areas of the curriculum. In maths we continued to work on our addition and subtraction and on looking carefully at the signs in sums! We practised taking away zero and trying not to let the sums confuse us!
In literacy we learned some new sounds wh, j and y. We listened carefully to words and tried to build them on our vecro boards and also practised reading words using our blending skills to sound them out!
As part of our emotion works, we watched the ‘very’ advert where the little girl gives out gifts to people who are sad or lonely. We watched the advert and thought about how some of the people in it might be feeling and then made some boxes of happiness to give to our families when they are feeling a bit sad. We drew pictures of things that would cheer them up and came up with lots of great ideas including photos, love hearts, teddies, cameras, flowers, chocolates, puppies and books!
Finally a big well done to all the classes involved in the nativity. Everyone sang their socks off (especially the P3 choir!) and the P2 narrators spoke very clearly into the microphones which helped the primary ones know when they had to come onto the stage and when they had to say their lines. A big thank you to the support staff who helped out with the costumes and with the backdrop – your help is much appreciated. Well done primary one for your super nativity performance and a big thank you to all the parents and family members who were able to come along and be a super audience. Looking good!
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who were able to make it along on Friday to receive their Book Bug Bags and to see the children working on different literacy and numeracy activities related to the books for Scottish book week. We really enjoyed having you there to help and to be able to share our favourite stories from the bags with you. I hope you all enjoy reading the stories and using your magnetic numbers at home.
