We extended our learning on money by thinking about answering the question, ‘how are we going to show we know how to use money?’ Lots of discussion and groups then started setting up their own shops, writing labels for what they had on sale and making sure they gave the correct coins.

P3a Numeracy
In Numeracy this week we were using Ten Frames to help us work out sums. We used counters, drew it and then wrote the sum. We were even able to help each other correct mistakes. We will now use these strategies when working out sums with bigger numbers.
P1
This week in Literacy, we have been learning to recognise our new sounds ‘t’ and ‘i’ and form our letters correctly. We have also been playing some listening games to practise the four good listening skills, and have enjoyed meeting and sharing stories with our buddies in the library.
In Health and Wellbeing, we have thought about healthy eating and designed our favourite meal, and we have also been discussing what makes a good friend.
In Numeracy, we have been trying to look for numbers all around us. It’s amazing how many we found at school! How many can you spot around your home , at the shops or in the street?
Learning in P 2/1
P1 have been continuing to learn our sounds – i and t. We have been practising to form our letters and numbers (up to 5).
P2 have been continuing to learn about addition and have enjoyed reading our new reading books in groups.
P1 were excited to meet their buddies on Friday and had a great time together in the library.
We all discussed reusing, recycling and reducing rubbish as part of keeping our environment clean and tidy for wildlife and designed posters to show our learning.
We have been thinking about ways to be healthy and drew our favourite healthy meal. Some of our meals looked very tasty!
P3a Money
This week in Maths we were starting to look at Money. We investigated coins with our elbow partners. Then we sorted them. Some of us sorted by size or colour. Someone decided to sort by value. She shared her method with the class, then all tried her to sort the coins by value. While we were learning we were using lots of skills – curiosity, teamwork, communication & problem solving.
Numeracy and Maths in The Hive
The Hive children are all settled back into school life and our new children are getting used to the routines. We have been working hard to practise old and learn new concepts in Numeracy and Maths. Some of the children were learning about place value and addition of 2 digit numbers. We were also looking at different ways to make 20. Some of our children were working with patterns and shape.
P3a Learning
This week in P3a we have been working on numbers to 100, talking about number before, after & between. We have been sharing out strategies for adding within 20. In Literacy we have been learning about nouns & adjectives and how to write a description. We have been introduced to Epic Reading on the iPads, which we love! We have been continuing to discuss the wellbeing indicators and talking about how we feel. We worked as a class to decide what would be our first topic. We chose The Geography of Scotland and then thought about questions we would like to investigate. Another fun week with lots more learning!
Working hard in P3B!
Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.
We had a very busy week in Primary 3B last week. We were learning to read and write Fry’s words in Literacy and we also learned to identify nouns and adjectives. We are going to be learning to write descriptions in Writing and we will find lots of nouns and adjectives in descriptive texts.
We had a very exciting morning when we found a mystery box in our classroom. It was full of words inside, along with a note asking us to find the other missing words. This sent us on a word hunt around the classroom! We then realised that all the words were nouns. We used these words and a power point to help us write sentences using nouns and adjectives. We worked with a partner and wrote on white boards.
In Numeracy, we have been exploring Place Value and we have been learning to order and sequence numbers to 100. Some of us have been ordering and sequencing three digit numbers to challenge ourselves more. We engage in games, smart board games, white board tasks and pencil tasks to support our learning. We use concrete materials such as cubes, counting sticks and counters to help us if we need them. We also use number squares and we have been developing our confidence using 100 squares to identify the value of a number.
We also take part in Number Talks every day and on Thursday Miss Marra wrote a missing number addition calculation on the board for us to solve. We used concrete materials, number lines or number squares to solve the problem and we enjoyed sharing our strategies.
P3a HWB
This week we have been learning about the well-being indicators Safe, Healthy, Active and Nurture. We discussed how we feel in different situations. We thought about how we know we are nurtured and how we are all unique. We designed back packs to show how we all look different and all like different things.
Primary One PE
The primary one pupils have made an excellent start to PE by learning all the gym hall routines and safety rules. They have also been developing their catching, bouncing, running, dribbling, jumping and skipping. All of the children have enjoyed learning the ‘banana dance’ warm up. They might even be able to teach it to you at home!
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be exploring passing, throwing and rolling balls at targets.
