This week we took part in lots of different learning. We engaged with Fischy Music Scot’s concert and even got a ‘shout out’ from the presenters. We listened to some short stories in Scot’s, including The Boy in the Bunnet, and thought about all the Scot’s words we knew. We thought about and drew what the Loch Ness Monster might look like. We learned and recited a Scot’s poem to the class. We learned about Scot’s words for different parts of the body and sang Heid, shoulders, knaps & taes.

This week in P2
We have been continuing to look at a new sound in phonics and this week we focused on the ‘use’ sound. We are still working on division in numeracy and are looking at symmetry and measuring in maths. We enjoy using Epic on the IPads to read a variety of books. It has been great learning more about our Space topic and learning about stars and galaxies as this was what the pupils wanted to learn. We also worked on what doubles we knew in our Number talk this week. We got a lot of interesting numbers.
This week in P2
It has been a busy week back in P2 after the holidays. We had a lovely chat all about our holidays and got straight back into our learning again. Pupils were very keen to get back to learning about our Space project and we were looking at the International Space Station this week. We have continued looking at division in numeracy and begun looking at symmetry and measuring in maths. We enjoyed working with random partners to talk about our writing on information reports.
P2/1
It’s been a busy week back to school in P2/1. We have been using numicon to investigate number bonds and have had fun listening to the months of the year song in maths.
We are continuing to build and blend letters to read words in our reading books and have been practising Fry’s words along with our handwriting.
This week we listened to information about two planets: Jupiter and Saturn. We enjoyed watching The Space Explorers on CBeebies and could tell the class some facts we learned.
Primary 1
Primary 1 really enjoyed end of term activities this week. We made decorations and placemats for our party.
On Thursday we enjoyed a Movie and our Christmas Party. We played party games, danced and snacked! We had a special visitor come to our party too.
Mrs Forbes and Mrs Murdoch would like to thank you for our lovely gifts and wish you Happy Holidays! See you next year!
This week in P2
It has been a very busy couple of weeks in P2 with lots of activities going on. We have been looking at division through sharing using playdoh to help us. We have had a visit from an author to read some of his books to us as well. We started looking at measuring and measured the elves using a ruler and then put them into height order. We have also been learning how to say a festive phrase in different languages as well. We all very much enjoyed our Christmas party and had lots of fun and snacks.We hope you all have a lovely holiday and we will see you again in January. 
Primary 1
Primary 1 have had a very exciting week. As well as continuing to learn new sounds, stretching out words to help us write words and learning and playing with 2D shapes, we had a visit from a local author and performed our Nativity Play!
When the author visited us we listened to 3 stories and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions.
On Thursday we performed our nativity; Baarmy Bethlehem to the whole school. Our first audience! Then today was our show. We loved being on the stage!
This week in P2
This week in P2 we began looking at division using sharing to help us. We used play-doh to show how to share equally. We have been discussing the skills we use in our lessons and thinking about where else we might use these. We really enjoy our handwriting lessons each week and use Ruby our noise dragon to help us focus on our learning. We have also been learning how to say Merry Christmas in a different language each day looking at the languages that people in our school speak. Lots to look forward to over the next couple of weeks!
P3 Literacy
We have been learning how to write a discussion this term. We have to think about arguments for and against a topic. We have completed several this term including ‘Should we get a class pet?’ and ‘Should children be made to wear school uniform?’. We write our plan one day and then the nest we write our Discussion text. We have been trying really hard to remember our capital letters and full stops and are getting better at using our word logs for spelling.
We have started learning about verbs. We have been copying actions in a song and coming up with actions of our own. We have worked with random partners to find verbs in a passage and come up with sentences using interesting verbs.
