P2 Learning Reflection for W/E 28.1.22
This week P2 have been looking at the spelling patterns for ee, ea and e. In numeracy the children have been using a number track and a number line to subtract. The children noticed that they had to be careful when counting back on the number track as each jump had to be made from the middle of the box and for the number line they had to make each jump from the line. A big well done to our finalists and winner in the Scots poetry recital!
Willow – I liked learning about orang-utans and doing gymnastics. Orang-utans have four fingers and a thumb just like us. They are really cleaver they can make gloves from leaves to protect their hands from prickly fruits. The build a nest each evening so they always have a clean bed.
Arianna – I made a Loch Ness monster with Mrs Brown.
Josh – I liked free play. I am making a poster for Jacks party.
Grace – I have enjoyed learning about orang-utans. They are the closest animal to us. They are born with a fear of snakes because a snake can swallow a baby orang-utan in one mouthful. They are really good climbers. They live in the rainforest canopy.
Elyas – I liked doing my Scottish poem. We were adding actions to it to make it more interesting. I won a certificate that I can put in a frame and hang up.
Ella – I liked doing gymnastics. We were doing rolls. The rolls were rocket roll and flying saucer roll. My routine was rocket balance and then we went down and did a flying saucer roll, we did a rocket roll to the other side. Then we finished with a rocket balance.
Louis – I enjoyed gymnastics we needed to do gymnastics things. I done a star, pike alien and rocket balance.
Kyra – I liked gymnastics. I liked rocket roll.
Olivia – I liked making the tartan. So you needed to get the bits of paper and weave it through the other bits of paper. On my last one it was tricky because there was hardly any room!
Oliver – I liked when we were doing PE. We were doing rolls. We were doing a routine.
Rhy-Lee – Orang-utans are really cleaver. They can make gloves with leaves. They build a roof over their nest if it rains. They eat fruit, insects and bark.
Alexander – I like finding out about orang-utans. They can swing from tree to tree.
Caleb – I liked making tartan. We had to go the opposite way from the other one. The paper went in and out and in and out. I used red blue and green to make my tartan.
Thea – I got a certificate and a book and I won. It was for saying the poem Mince and Tatties!
Jack – I enjoyed making the tartan. You had to pick three or four colours and they had to be different colours. We got pieces of paper and slid them through some slots. It was difficult to get a black space to give the other colour some space!
Georgia – I liked free play. I was playing in the doll’s house. We were moving house. We had to put furniture out and move different furniture back into different spaces.
Nathan – I liked learning orang-utans can climb trees. They can build a nest just like a bird!
P1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 28th January 2022
Another busy week for Primary 1. In Literacy we have learned the ‘oo’ and ‘ar’ long vowel sounds and the red word like. We have written words with ‘oo’ and ‘ar’, built words on our magnetic boards, played roll and read and snakes and ladders and sorted real and nonsense words. In writing we wrote a description of one of our favourite characters from a book, Arnie from Arnie the Doughnut.
In Maths this week we have continued with exploring time. We learned the seasons, the months of the year and how to tell o’clock times on an analogue clock. We sorted the months of year, cut and stuck the months of the year down in the correct order, explored the hands on an analogue clock and made o’clock times using playdough and clock mats.
On Tuesday we learned about Robert Burns and took an interactive virtual tour of his house. We discussed the differences between his house and our houses. On Thursday afternoon we became superheroes. We chose our superhero name, super power and what we use our super power for. Some of the children used alliteration to create their super hero name.
Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
“We did learning of the days and the months and the clocks” Matthew
“We were learning our sounds /oo/ and /ar/” Gracie
“I liked playing the cat and mouse game in gym. I was laughing” Leo
“I liked running in the hall and I was the mouse. It was funny.” David
“I made a picture which was a garden and then I knew it was an ar word.” Aaron
“I was proud of my picture which was a park with a seesaw, a star and a spark.
We learnt new words -“of” and I love school because I learn so much words and letters.” Emily
“I was learning to listen and to listen to what the teachers tell me.” Ishanvi
“I liked playing with my friend” Lyla
“I was learning the new sounds and writing the letters. “Jessica
Have a good weekend

Good afternoon families of P3.
I wanted to say a massive thank you to all of the children for putting on an amazing Scots assembly today. I also would like to thank all the parents and families at home for helping the class learn their lines and practise songs/poems etc. I know how much time and effort the class have made to bring this assembly together.
