This week in Literacy P1 have been learning the long vowel sounds ir and ou and the tricky words what and they. We wrote ir words, built ir and ou words on our magnetic boards and played roll and read. P2 have continued to focus on tricky words. The tricky words we learned this week were thought, bought, caught, anyone, great and once. We looked for them in a word search, made them on magnetic boards, played bingo and wrote them in pyramid spelling.  In writing this week we made a jam sandwich and wrote instructions on how to make a sandwich.  In Maths this week we have been making half past and quarter past times on an analogue clock and a digital clock. We also discussed how many minutes in an hour and how many seconds in a minute. We had our Star of the Week circle time. Murdo is our star of the week. This week as part of Scotland loves languages we have been exploring Spain. We have learned how to say hello, goodbye, thank you and the word for moon in Spanish. We looked at Spain on a map and at their flag. We started our new topic of Superheroes. On Friday we went to assembly which was all about the cost of the school day.  Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“ I liked making the jam sandwich. It was yummy!”

“ I enjoyed assembly. I enjoyed hearing the choir sing.”
