Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. In Literacy P1 have been learning the long vowel sound ee and the tricky word was. We have written words to match pictures, built words on our magnetic boards and played roll and read. P2 have been revising the last four sounds of Set 3, ure, tion, tious and cious. We looked for them in a word search and created spelling posters.  In writing, we wrote a New Year’s Resolution. These were very interesting and ranged from walking the dog more to getting more sleep. In Numeracy this week P1 were exploring doubles. We built double towers, used mirrors and bears to find doubles and put spots on butterflies. P2 continued to explore place value and ordering and comparing numbers and objects to 20.  In P.E we played games such as cups and saucers, tunnel tig and rotten apples. We had our Star of the Week circle time. In art we created winter scenes using chalk. We went to assembly which was all about talking things over when you have worries. We have been given out our Scottish poems to choose one then learn it. The poems will be heard on the week beginning the 20th January. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

Murdo: “I liked creating my winter scene.”

Hiba: “I enjoyed the assembly on the resilience tool of talk things over.”

Olly: “I enjoyed the assembly too.”

Gabriel: “I enjoyed making my winter wonderland picture.”

Christian: “I enjoyed my learning with Miss Whigham.”

Ch: “I enjoyed creating my winter scene.”

Connie: “I enjoyed learning the ee sound.”

Lucas: “I enjoyed learning the ee sound as well.”
