Welcome back, we hope you all had a lovely holiday. P2/1 have been busy learners already. In Literacy P1 have learned the ‘l’,’h’ and ‘sh’ sounds and the tricky word you. We played roll and read, practised our letter formation and made a fluffy lamb.P2 spent time revisiting the last four sounds of aw, au, air and are. They searched for these words in a word search, played roll and read and we practised writing our tricky words. In Maths this week P1 and P2 have been exploring 2D and 3D shapes. We have been talking about the properties of shapes, playing shape lotto and drawing shape pictures. With Miss Whigham we looked at and explored autumn. P2 wrote an autumn poem and P1 explored autumn colours by colouring a picture. In art, we created little hedgehogs by finger painting. We also coloured in leaves and squirrels. In P.E we worked on large ball skills and team work. On Thursday afternoon we had a special assembly to welcome back Clachan Wullie. Hayley from the hospital for Sick Children came and spoke to us about how the Oor Wullie bucket trail has helped raise money for the hospital. P2 also did their class talks on ‘All about Me”. Miss Maclachlan was so impressed with the effort that the boys and girls put into preparing their talks. Well done P2. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
Lucas: “I found it tricky writing the sound ‘sh’.”
Charlotte: “I enjoyed learning the sound ‘sh’.”
Solomia: “I want to learn important things at school.”
Alister: “I enjoyed everything this week.”
