Primary 1
What a great start everyone has made to Primary 1. We’ve all been learning our school routines and making new friends.
We have started learning our phonics and this week have been practising ‘s’ and ‘a’. We continue to work with numbers; sequencing, ordering, writing and counting.
We have been learning about the 4 listening skills; looking at the person who is talking, listening to all the words, sitting still and being quiet. We try to use this at assembly and love learning new songs.
Achievement in P5A
This P5 pupil successfully completed the Summer Reading Challenge 2023 and shared his favourite book with us – a great achievement, well done!
This week in P2
This week we have continued to take part in our literacy and numeracy activities. We have started looking at 2D shapes this week and thinking about the properties of these. We continue to look at our numeracy learning through numbers before, after and in-between up to 100. We continue to use play throughout our lessons to support our learning. We have begun to look at our new topic of ‘Animals around the World’ this week and we started by creating some Cubist art. 
Primary 4A Numeracy
This week in Primary 4A we have been exploring numeracy tools in class. We have been looking at using tools to help count, solve calculations and order numbers.
We have been exploring Cuisenaire rods, Numicon and number lines. We have been completing daily number talks and building our bank of strategies to find the most efficient way to solve a problem. We have also been using Sumdog to practice our numeracy skills.
