What a great week we have had celebrating Burns Day and hearing all our Scots Poetry Competition finalists. Well done to our own class finalists Ethan, Rory, Minny and Poppy. We have also listened to some videos which taught us some Scots language from different parts of the country, click here to listen to the videos again with your children at home.
In phonics, Primary 1 have been learning the sounds oo and ar and Primary 2 have been revising the long vowel u (ue u-e ew) and the bossy r sound using the digraphs er, ir and ur. In writing, we have been continuing to think about adjectives and wrote some decriptions about ourselves.
In numeracy, Primary 1 have been continuing to develop understanding of number bonds to ten and Primary 2 have been learning about subtaction using the counting back strategy. This week we have also been learning the Months of the Year, please continue to practise these at home.
We are continuing to think about different places in Scotland that we have visited and have been developing our understanding of the map of Scotland. We have plotted the main Scottish cities on the map and we learned about some of the food that people associate with Scotland. We also discussed some famous Scots including Andy Murray, Robert Burns and John Logie Baird.
