During languages week we taught each other how to say ‘hello’ in different languages. In our class, we can say hello, in Urdu, Polish, French, Portuguese, Spanish and British Sign Language!
We are really enjoying our music lessons with Dave. We have been playing shakers to tell a story about a train ride. We were singing and playing our instruments loudly and quietly. We had good fun dancing and stopping to the beat of the drum.
It was great to see so many parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles who came to our ‘Sharing the Learning’!
Primary 1 were so excited to share some of their Scots Week activities. We made kilts, a model Nessie (using our push, pull and twist forces), built castles and discussed and ate some Scottish food. We were super detectives trying to ‘I Spy’ a picture of a Burns Supper.
Shortbread was the favourite food in both classes.
We ended with a ‘Heid, Shooders, Knaps and Taes’ song!
Have a lovely weekend!
We have been developing our core stability and balance. We have highlighted key points for balancing effectively and efficiently with control. We have been also been learning how to travel safely in a variety of ways across equipment.
This week we were using our body to create different shapes. We have learned how to make pike,tuck,straddle and many more! Exploring these shapes helps to develop our flexibility, strength and balance.
We have been learning and practicing our French. Today we counted to 20 using the mini bean bags. We also coloured in a French Flag for the Language Hub’s competition.
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.
Happy New Year to you all!
Please find attached the Nursery Newsletter for January. We look forward to welcoming those of you who can make it, to our next ‘Stay and Play’ on the week beginning the 4th March.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
