We have made it to the October holidays! What a busy term this has been! We have had lots of fun and have learned so much!

The term started with lots of art for the annual flower show – the theme was ‘gala day’ so we made collage crowns and painted some bunting.

We have enjoyed working with our buddies for lots of different things, and we love having our parents in for our Learning Together sessions.

We have learned so much in literacy: we have learned all of our set 1 sounds: m, c, k, ck, s, p, t, a, i, n and o. We are now practising recognising and writing these sounds, as well as working out which sound we can hear at the beginning of a word. We have enjoyed having a go at emergent writing in our writing jotters.

In maths, we have been learning how to correctly form the numbers 0-10 and have been counting to 10 and 20! We have been learning about shape and measure with Mrs Crowe on Wednesday afternoons.

Our topics this term were All About Me and Autumn. During our All About Me topic, we learned about the importance of having a name, different emotions and our friends. We are mind-way through our Autumn topic and have enjoyed doing lots of arts and crafts as well as learning about different aspects of Autumn, like hedgehogs and scarecrows.

We have taken part in lots of whole school activities, such as voting for our house captains, joining in with the Rookie Rockstars and taking part in the Joe Wicks Workouts!

We can’t wait to see what next term will bring!

We have been learning how to partition hundreds, tens and units. We have used Diens materials over the last week and today we used the abacus – we love active learning!

Thank you to the parents who joined us for Learning Together this morning, we had lots of fun!

On Thursday, Primary one went on an Autumn hunt around the playground to find signs of Autumn! We made Autumn trees using our handprints and finger prints!
