What a lovely maths session we had today learning all about symmetry.  P1/2 worked very hard and enjoyed a variety of activities including colouring symmetrical butterflies, making symmetrical patterns with numicon and lego, colouring and making symmetrical easter eggs, completing symmetrical patterns on the smartboard and using counters to make symmetrical patterns.  Everyone worked really hard and enjoyed our very practical maths session today!  Good work everyone!

A big well done to P1/2 for winning the Goblet of Good Manners trophy this week.  We collected an impressive 32 post its!

Happy Easter from P1/2!

This last week before the easter holidays has been very busy for P1/2.  In maths, we have worked on subtraction and using a number line to subtract.  We have been working hard to think about our learning intention and to agree the steps to success.  We enjoyed working at our new working wall table and commenting and discussing on our learning, focussing on what we are good at and our next steps in learning.  To help us we have drawn our own number lines and used these to help us work out subtraction sums.

We have trialled some relaxation activities this week to help us focus better.  We have enjoyed listening carefully and following the instructions.

We were very lucky again to have Olivia’s gran give up her time to come in and read us stories.  We love having some of our grandparents in the class reading to us and hope that we will have more volunteers next term!  Thank you so much to all our helpers this term.

As we are heading towards the easter holidays we practised our cutting skills to make these cute chicks.  We had to concentrate hard to cut carefully and really impressed Mrs Lloyd!

Happy Easter to everyone!

Well done Primary One for your super performance in our Mothers Day assembly !

Primary One have been busy all week practising the songs and making cards to say thank you to our mums!

This week in literacy, Primary One have been busy practising spelling words and building sentences! Miss Rodford has been impressed with our handwriting and sounding out.

In Maths, we have been learning about halves and quarters. Take a look at how we cut up our cookies!

Now it is Spring time, we have been looking at signs that we might see around  us e.g flowers, baby animals etc

Well done Primary One!

This week P1/2 have been revising all of the sounds we have learned and we have also been working on the vowel house, sorting the pictures into the correct places and practising writing the sounds for each section of the vowel house.  We have also been looking at ordering the letters of the alphabet, rolling sound dice and working out if it makes a real word or not (win it or bin it) and we made sentences using our velcro word mats.

In maths, we have continued to practise our adding and subtraction.  We also learned about fractions this week and know that to cut something in half you need to cut it into two equals pieces and to cut something into quarters you need to cut it into four equal pieces.  We made our own paper cookies and chose to cut them into either halves or quarters, we did a good job!

We even used lolly sticks to make tally marks to make different numbers.  Conor and Chloe took on the tricky challenge and chose numbers up to 20 to make!  Well done!
