Come to our Read, Write, Count Event!

Read, Write, Count is a new campaign to support parents of children in primaries 1 to 3 who want to take a more active role in their children’s learning.

Read, Write, Count’s website gives lots of simple ideas for working fun reading, writing and counting activities into your daily life. These are things you can do while shopping, on the way to school, at bedtime or mealtimes. You can have fun and help your child get the best start in life!

We would like to invite you to our Read, Write, Count event on Thursday 29th November

P2 parents – 1:30-2:15pm

P3 parents – 2:25-3:10pm

This will provide an opportunity for you to take part in and enjoy activities linked to the free family bag you will receive with your child and also to explore the school library.

Primary 4

Thank you to everyone who sent in teddy bears and toys for P4 to use for the Christmas Fayre. We have enough now to keep us busy and we really appreciate your help.

This week we have been continuing to work on our comparison of Scotland and Malawi. Pupils have completed a second piece of information text about elephants and we hope to build on this writing skill next week. They also drew some really effective pictures of giraffes and elephants to add to our information display. Next week we will be comparing the weather in the two countries and developing our skills in finding information from graphs.

In maths we have been improving our skills in doing column addition sums and have worked on carrying across the digits.  Pupils have been using partitioning and number lines as part of their Number Talks sessions. We have also been learning about rounding to the nearest 10 and on Monday we will extend this to rounding to the nearest 100.

Next week will be very busy preparing our goods for the Christmas Fayre which we hope will be just as successful as last years.
