Another week gone by with lots of learning for P1. We have been continuing to talk about our own uniqueness. On Wednesday we had our sharing assembly where Ayden and Sam spoke about what they can do and what they want to be able to do. Our new star of the week is Sam. We had our circle time where we gave Sam a compliment. In Literacy, we have learned two new sounds aw as in paw and are as in care. We played snakes and ladders, taught ted words and did handwriting of aw and are. In maths, we have been exploring measurement. We have been discovering how to find out how long objects are. We used cubes, gems, counters, bears, Lego and our hand spans to find out how long or tall objects are in the classroom. This week for nursery transition we listened to the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. We then painted our own butterflies. On Thursday we had music with Mrs Curle. We sung rhyming songs and listened to the story of Oi Frog. P1- P3 took part in Author’s Live with Emily McKenzie. We listened to her read her story There’s Broccoli in my Ice cream and then we drew along with her as she drew Granville her main character. In Science, we learned about electricity. We created a graph of the electrical items in the classroom. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Lois: “I enjoyed the minister’s assembly about children in other countries.”

Ch: “I enjoyed the assembly too like Lois.”

Euan: “I enjoyed P.E. this week. We are learning tennis.”

Ayden: “I liked the assembly.”

Murdo: “I found it tricky learning the new are sound.”

Leo: “I enjoyed learning our two new sounds.”
