Happy New Year. P1 and Miss Maclachlan hope you had a lovely holiday. In Literacy, we have been revising all the sounds and tricky words we have learned so far. We practised writing z and q.  In writing we wrote about the highlight of our Christmas holidays. We were focusing on using a capital letter. In numeracy, we have been exploring doubles. We have played games, built double towers and put spots on ladybirds and butterflies. We can recall our doubles up to and including double 5. For the next fortnight we are having a Scottish focus. We are learning about famous Scots. This week we learned about the Loch Ness monster. We drew pictures of Nessie, made Nessie out of Lego or play-doh. We had our first star of the week circle time. Our first star of week is Murdo. We all gave Murdo a compliment and then we drew a picture of Murdo inside a star. Here are a few of the children’s:

Lois: ” I enjoyed learning about Nessie. I liked making my Lego Nessie.”

Rory:” I enjoyed listening to the story about Nessie.”

Ch: ” I enjoyed drawing a picture of Nessie the Loch Ness monster.”

Isaac: ” I enjoyed making a model of Nessie using play-doh.”

Leighton:” I found it tricky to draw a picture of Nessie.”

Euan:” I also found drawing Nessie tricky.”

Ayden: ” I enjoyed using play-doh to make a model of Nessie.”
