Literacy
This week we learned about the letter ‘W’ as well as practised the sounds that, we have learned beforehand through colouring, craft activities, and reading. We wrote our own books about Floppy and Kipper. In addition, as it is World Nursery Rhyme week, we learned about rhyming words and even made our own rhymes! Our teachers were so impressed!
Numeracy
We focused on using different concrete materials (Rekenrek, Numicons, Flashcards, 100 square, etc.) and explored different ways of making the number 10. Additionally, we were using the number line in our learning how to add two numbers together. We kept practising counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.
Learning across the Curriculum
As it is Catholic Education Week, we were learning about our Parish in Broxburn and all of us now know that Father Jeremy is our Parish Priest. We were surprised to find out that the church is called St John Cantius and St Nicholas – that is how our school is named! In addition, our teachers showed us pictures of our church and we coloured in a stained glass window templates. We also learned about St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland, as her feast was on the 16th of November. We found out that she was a very good person.
Have a lovely weekend,
