Primary 1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 6th May 2022
Good afternoon. It has been a short but busy week for Primary 1. In Literacy we learned the ‘ai’ sound. We created spelling flowers, played roll and read and snakes and ladders and taught ted how to write words with the ‘ai’ sound.
In Maths this week we have been exploring length and weight. We helped measure the superhero footprints using cubes and measured classroom items. We became human pan balances to find out heavy or light objects around the classroom were. We also played a heavier or lighter game and sorted heavy and light items.
In P.E we are learning basic Tennis skills and played dodgeball. We have been continuing to set up our pet shop and this week we have decided on the name of Pet Shop Pets. In Health and Wellbeing, we explored people who help us and how they help. Here are the children’s reflections:
Angus – “I loved everything in P.E.I liked drawing and feeding the fish.”
Aaron – “I loved everything in P.E too. I liked drawing a fish for our fish tank.”
Emily – “I liked P.E”

Good afternoon,
I hope that you all had a pleasant Easter break.
This week P3 have been learning:

- In Maths, we walked around the local area collecting data using tally marks about local housing and the different types of housing. We also looked at compass directions, placing locations on a map and using maps.
- In Literacy (and ICT), we typed up our recount writing using Microsoft Word onto PC’s and learned how to print our work.
- In Art, we finished painting the base of our paper mache King Tut masks.
- In Science, we predicted the outcome of our tomato mummification experiment and wrote up our results.
Have a lovely long weekend.

P2-1 Weekly Reflection 29.04.22
We’ve had another busy week and are looking forward to the long weekend, please remember school is closed to all children on Monday. We are also closed to school children on Thursday as staff have an in-service day.
This week P2 have begun the Read Write Inc (RWI) Spelling Pre-Programme in preparation for beginning RWI Spelling Programme in Primary 3. This week we have focused on singular and plural and consonants and vowels. We have also learned that there are 26 letters in the alphabet and 44 speech sounds in the English language. We all enjoyed singing along to this song. Primary 1 have continued to learn their set 3 sounds and are becoming much more confident with blending these sounds together to build words.
In Writing we wrote about what makes us happy and Mrs Clyne was impressed with how well we were able to self-evaluate our work and identify our next steps.
In Maths we have completed our length and height topic and have begun to investigate mass. We have been measuring the mass of different items and then comparing the mass of objects using ‘lighter’ and ‘heavier’. We have also been practising our number word sequences to 50 and enjoyed singing along to this song.
In PE this week we have been developing our fitness through mini-fitness stations and running laps of the school field.
Miss Whigham set us a challenge to build a bridge from lego. Some of the children worked co-operatively and with a very focused approach constructed a strong and stable bridge, unfortunately we missed the opportunity for a photo before someone kindly tidied away the lego!
In our Health and Wellbeing lesson we had a super discussion about People Who Help and Look After Us. We talked about all the different people who care for us and all the specific things they do to show they care for us. We remembered our Trusted Adults that we have in school for times when we are feeling worried and we linked our learning to Children’s Rights as it is our right to be cared for.
Have a lovely holiday weekend and we look forward to seeing the children back on Tuesday 3rd May.
Theo “We had fun watching the video about the Magic Key.”
Poppy “We were measuring weight and we were learning about what’s heavier or lighter.” I enjoyed using the measurement toys.”
Dexter ” I enjoyed doing the bridges contest because it was fun.”
Minny “I had fun when we had the measurement toys out.”
Kade “We learned that singular means one and plural means more than one. Me and Theo were building a Jurassic world out of lego.”
Cooper “I enjoyed helping build the Jurassic world monorail. The monorail is like a train but not a normal rail. It goes on tracks which are inside water.”
Ethan “I liked building the monorail with Cooper.”

P2-1 Weekly Reflection 22.04.22
Welcome back, we hope you all had a lovely Easter break. This week the children have enjoyed sharing their news from the holidays. It has been lovely to see their confidence when talking to their peers as they shared their news. We also held spontaneous talks about our family.
In Phonics P2 have been learning about silent letters with a particular focus on w and b. Mrs Clyne was impressed when Cara spotted some silent letters during one of our reading sessions. P1 have been continuing to learn set 3 sounds and focused on oa, a-e, i-e, o-e and u-e. They were successful learners when they used their knowledge of phonics to build words with these sounds.
In Maths P2 have been continuing to develop their understanding of length by measuring using centimetres and considering length within addition problems. P1 have been further developing their understanding of number bonds to 20 and enjoyed exploring these using Numicon.
As a school we have been learning about Children’s Rights and on Tuesday some of our class joined children from across the school to take part in an interview about our work on Children’s Rights. We were all delighted to hear today that the school had been awarded Silver Level accreditation for the Rights Respecting Schools Award.
Today we had a whole school assembly where we learned about Earth Day. Earth Day was founded to make people think about the Earth and how to look after it. This year’s theme is Invest in Our Planet. We talked about lots of ways we can help to look after the Earth including planting more trees, walking to school, litter picking and recycling. We also enjoyed learning a new song about how we can make a difference.
During our assembly Mrs Smith told us about World Vision and their Child Sponsorship programme. Over recent years, the school has been supporting a boy called Mulageta but he has now grown up and does not need our help anymore so we have a new sponsor, a 5yr old boy called Amza Augustine. We will be thinking about different ways that we can raise money to support Amza, his family and the village where he lives.
Today some children were acknowledged for their excellent treehouse designs for the Chief Forester’s Challenge STEM Competition 2022. Here is the picture of those who received certificates in our class.
We hope you have had a lovely week and enjoy a restful weekend.
