P2 This Week

This week we learned about halves and took part in a quiz to identify halves in real life. We made a picture story about Mr Grinling the Lighthouse Keeper. In P.E. we continued to develop our tennis skills and in Health and Well-being we learned about respecting ourselves and created colourful pictures called ‘I am, I can’. Anya’s nana came to visit us and share what it was like for her growing up in the highlands of Scotland. She had photos of her life. Thank you so much for visiting us – we all really enjoyed it!

Well done to Maizy and Caleb for having their Oor Wullie cartoon strips chosen from P2 to be put on the School statue. 🙂

P1a Learning Reflection W/E 10th May 2019

A short but busy week this week. In Literacy this week P1 learned another split diagraph, the u-e sound as in dude. We looked for u-e or oo words in a word search, played roll and read and completed hold a sentence, where we had to listen to a sentence then write it down. In numeracy this week we have been working on our adding and subtracting within 20. We played four in a row, found the missing number bonds and played funky mummy on the I Pads where we had to add to 10 then 20. Also this week we spoke about our next wellbeing tool of respect yourself. We spoke about what makes us unique and special. We completed a flower where we drew what makes us special. We also welcomed nursery to our class for the first of their transition visits. On Friday we went to Primary 6’s assembly all about their camp. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Ziva: “I enjoyed playing with the children from the nursery.”
