Yesterday, P2A and P2B went on a Scavenger hunt around East Calder. Their challenge was to find letters on our stroll and use these to make a word. We had great fun and discovered that the word was ‘New Year 2022’.
Month: January 2022
Welcome Back Primary 1!
We hope all our families had a lovely break. Primary 1 have quickly settled back to our class rules and routines and appear to be taking changes in their stride!
In Numeracy this week we have been revising shape and addition, and in Literacy learning two new sounds ‘j’ and ‘z’.
Next week is Scots Week and we’re looking forward to lots of stories and activities in Scots! We’ll also begin to send home reading bags with books to practise reading. If your child’s black book bag is still at home please send in on Monday, many thanks. Arriving home on Monday will be two Scots poems. Please help your child select one and learn it. We’ll also practise at school and will hear all children say their poem on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th of January. This will also be posted on Seesaw.
Many thanks
Mrs Forbes & Mrs Murdoch
Welcome back from The Hive
The children in The Hive have settled into the new year and new term very quickly. We started our workstation tasks this week and have been very productive. We now go to the Library and Literacy room daily to pick our own reading books. We take them back to the Hive, read them at our Workstations then do a linked Writing task. We have rewritten our fiction books and written facts about our non-fiction books.
In Maths we have been learning about fractions. We now know what halves and quarters means, and some of us went on to look at thirds and sixths!
This week in P4
We have had a great time being back in school after the holiday and are fully back to our learning. We have been busy updating our art gallery wall with a variety of art types. We have looked at a variety of artists and tried to recreate our own version of their famous artworks. This has been a topic that we have loved doing in P4!
In Numeracy, we have continued to look at multiplication and division and in maths this week we have started working on Venn diagrams as part of data handling.
