P2/1 Learning Update 14.1.22
Happy New Year and welcome to our first post of 2022. We started our week with a chat about New Year celebrations and made some New Year Resolutions, we are going to work hard to achieve these. We also made some beautiful firework pictures after we talked about people setting off fireworks at the bells to see in the new year.
This week P1 have been learning the new sounds ay and ee while P2 revised set 2 and set 3 sounds with a focus on split diagraphs to make the long vowel sounds (a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e). We have also been practising the common words I, me, the, of, my, said, he, no, you, so, all, put, your and to.
In Numeracy we have been learning about doubles and practising our doubles to 10; we particularly enjoyed this song from Jack Hartmann to help us learn our doubles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDqbCfplYrg . We have also been learning about counting on and how this strategy can help us to be more efficient mathematicians as we don’t need to start counting at zero each time.
Miss Hamilton read us the story of The Gruffalo but it was in Scots so it was a little bit tricky to understand some of the words. Here is the link if you’d like to listen to the story with your child again at home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2qmm9o77NU&t=3s .
In preparation for the school’s annual poetry competition, we have been listening to the poems for our Scots Poetry recitals (remember links to your child’s poems are on Seesaw) and we appreciate your support at home in helping the children to learn their chosen poem. We look forward to hearing the children recite their poems in class on Wednesday 19th January.
The next few weeks in school have a Scottish focus and to support our learning in P2/1 we will be using the Hamish McHaggis series of books, written by Linda Strachan. So far we have read Hamish McHaggis and the Edinburgh Adventure and Hamish McHaggis and the Great Glasgow Treasure Hunt.
We have enjoyed our first full week back at school and look forward to sharing our learning with you as we move through the coming weeks of our Scottish focus.

P3 – W.C. 8th November
Primary three have had a busy week of learning.
Our IDL (Inter Disciplinary Learning) about space fed through our learning this week. The class learned about why the Earth, Moon and Sun are important to us and how they work. This led us nicely into our Maths and Science work, looking at the seasons and the months of the year. The class also continued to practise their time work. We created planets using mixed media and are going to assemble a model next week.
In French, we labelled bodies with their correct French words. We also practised our head, shoulders, knees and toes song (Tête, Épaules, Genoux et Pieds) very enthusiastically!
In Art, we created pointillism poppies which are now beautifully displayed on our wall.
The class were very respectful during the minutes silence and their understanding of Rememberence Day.
I – I really enjoyed making the pointilism poppies.
C – I loved making the planets in art.
L – I really enjoyed our French this week.
L – I liked learning football skills in PE.
