At the beginning of the week is was Halloween and Mrs Stewart came to show us her special carved pumpkin!  She also read  ‘potion commotion’ and we had to listen out for all the rhyming words! We also made super Halloween masks with Miss Reid!

In Literacy, we have been working hard on our v, g and x sounds! We have been working hard on your handwriting and are starting to blend sounds together to read three letter words!!!

In maths, we have been working hard on our addition! Miss Rodford has been very impressed with our counting on skills ! We are also getting very good at recognising 2D and 3D shapes!

On Friday, we took part in our first vertical learning groups based on the Global Goals! We are going to learning all about the world around us e.g. climate change, life under the sea, deforestation etc

Please feel free the leave a comment about our super learning!

Spooky Goings On in P1/2

Leave a comment

As it was Halloween at the start of the week, we were very lucky to have Mrs Stewart come in for a visit to read ‘Potion Commotion’.  P1/2 were a super audience and enjoyed joining in with the rhymes in the story.

In maths this week we have practising our addition again and have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes and their properties.  We were very lucky when our parent helper, Miss Graham, took us on a shape hunt around the school.  We spotted lots of different 2D and 3D shapes.  During activity time, Chloe made a super rectangle using the peg board.

In literacy we learned the g, v and x sounds.  We enjoyed designing vests and glasses and made some friendly foxes at the craft table.  We are getting better at blending our sounds to help us read words and also at listening to words and building them on our velcro boards.

P1/2 Reporting Back on Last Week!

Leave a comment

P1/2 worked really hard last week.   In maths we worked on counting groups of objects accurately and then worked out how many objects there were altogether.

In literacy we learned two new sounds ‘u’ and ‘d’.  We practised writing the sounds and using all of the set 1 sounds to read and make words.  We loved working at the craft table where we made umbrellas and dinosaurs.

We watched a live authors event and were a very attentive audience as the author read her book ‘Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam’.  It was a very funny story and we enjoyed listening to it.  The illustrator of the book showed us step by step how to draw one of the main characters from the book.  It was great fun and we all did really well.  What do you think of our art work?  Mrs Lloyd and Mrs Stewart were very impressed!

Sleeping Beauty!

Leave a comment

Primary One loved watching the pantomine ‘Sleeping Beauty’. We thought the withc was very mean and was very unkind to the other characters!

‘I liked it when the Prince kissed the Princess’ – Hannah

After the pantomine, we all go to choose a different art activity to complete  based on fairy tales.  Some of us made fairy wands, magic mirrors, wolves and painted Fairy Godmothers!

In sounds, we learnt the u and d sounds. We have been working hard to practise blending together the sounds to read three letter words!

We also enjoyed watching Authors Live from the Scottish Book Trust! This was a live book reading which schools all around the country could watch!

In maths, we have started to learn how to add and Miss Rodford is very impressed with our adding skills ! We have also been learning about 3D shapes such as a cube, cone, cuboid, sphere and cylinder!

Over the next month, the children will be thinking about this right and why it is important. Here are some tips to how you could promote this right at home …

  1. Have a chat about this right and why it is important.
  2. Talk about or make a healthy lunch or dinner
  3. See if you and your child can link this right to current events in the news

 

Here is a link to a healthy recipe that you could try to make at home!  Please leave a comment saying how you got on!

Last week of Term in P1

Leave a comment

We have been busy this week learning all about the h sound and we have been using the mouth part boards to build three letter words.

We have also been busy trying to write three letter words and Miss Rodford was very impressed with our spelling.

In Maths, we have been learning all about money and how we can use money! Some lovely ladies from the bank came into help us with this! We also went to visit the book fair and got to look at lots of lovely books!

On Monday, we made soup with the potatoes and carrots that we harvested!

The soup tasted lovely – Mason

Well done for all your hard work this term in Primary One and I hope you have a lovely holiday!

Super Sounding Out and Marvellous Maths in P1/2

Leave a comment

P1/2 have been using their sounds this week to try to sound out words.  They have been repeating the word a few times before trying to work out the first, middle then end sound.  They are getting really good at it!

In maths, we have been working on forming and sequencing our numbers correctly and have been practising estimating how many objects we can see.  We managed some good estimates and could spot when our estimates were much too high or much too low!

We were also very lucky to have a MoneySense workshop this week where a member of staff from the Royal Bank of Scotland came to work with us.  Miss Graham also kindly helped us out as we moved round three different activities and explored how we use money.

We finished off our busy week with some fun in the structured play area.  We enjoyed lots of activities including dressing up, building with construction materials, being creative at the art table and playing a healthy foods game with Miss Campbell.

Enjoy the holiday boys and girls, you deserve a break after all your hard work this term. I look forward to seeing you all again next term for more fun filled learning!

Chefs in P1a and P1/2!

Leave a comment

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!

Another Funfilled Week in P1/2

Leave a comment

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!!
