Well what a busy week we’ve had!
Primary 1 children have been learning the sounds p and g and impressing Mrs Clyne with their word building skills when using the magnetic boards. We now know the sounds m, a, s, d, t, i, n, p and g, why don’t you try making some words at home with these letters. Primary 2 children have been revising set two sounds with a focus on oo and ar. They have also been practising the common words I, the, of, me, they, want, like, her and she by telling Ted a sentence containing each of the words.
In Numeracy we have been learning about the number sequence to 20 and thinking about the number before and after a given number. We have been learning ordinal numbers from first to tenth and we had fun singing the Days of the Week song to begin thinking about the order of the days. If you would like to have a sing along at home, click here.
On Thursday we had a birthday themed afternoon where we practised our counting skills and developed our fine motor skills by making playdough cupcakes, wrapping presents, exploring texture with jelly and ice-cream (cotton wool balls) and making birthday cards. We also considered the adventures of Curly the Caterpillar who had escaped from the cake box!
For Science we listened to the story A New Calf Arrives during a googlemeet with The Royal Highland Education Trust. This was really interesting and the lady even answered some of our own children’s questions live during the call.
We would like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday weekend and look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday 22nd September.
Take care,
Miss Whigham & Mrs Clyne
