Read Two/To Buddies

The children had a great afternoon on Monday working together with their ‘Read To’ buddy in P4/P1

The children told a Christmas story, wrote a story book and some made elf puppets where others played a snowman dice game.  The engagement level was very high as they worked together and helped each other with ideas, writing cutting and drawing.

P1M’s busy week.

In Primary 1M we have had yet another busy week. We have performed our nativity to the whole school and our parents twice as well as that we have been practicing our sounds and working hard on mastering the ‘th’ sound. This is tricky but if we persevere we will get there. We are continuing to develop our mathematical language through number talks. We also enjoyed some yoga in class on Thursday. Here are a couple of pictures of us in our Nativity costumes: 

The Wriggly Nativity

Last week saw Primary 1K, Primary 1M and Primary 2 perform our Wriggly Nativity three times, first of all on the Monday for the whole school then the Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning for our parents. The children did a fabulous job of telling the Christmas story. Miss Maclachlan, Ms King, Miss Whigham and Mrs Clyne are very proud of the children. We hope you enjoyed their performances.

A busy couple of weeks for P1M

P1M have had a busy couple of weeks. Last week was book week and the children loved creating our Elmer display. We spent time colouring our very own Elmer then everyone coloured in a patch for the background. We also enjoyed reading a new story called Gorilla Loves Vanilla. The story included lots of wacky ice cream flavours such as worms. We loved creating our own flavours such as jam and sausages. We also learned about rhyming words. As Saturday was our Christmas fair we created our very own ornaments to hang on our Christmas trees. Both Primary 1 and Primary 2 have been busy rehearsing our nativity and look forward to performing this for you next week on Tuesday 12th December at 2.30pm and Wednesday 13th December at 10am. Here are a few pictures from our busy weeks:   

P1M Number Talks

Primary 1 have been learning about and enjoying Number Talks. They have explored different dot patterns of five and six. They shared with the rest of the class their strategy for knowing how there was five or six dots. The children enjoy using hand signals of a closed fist for thinking, a thumbs up if they have a strategy and lastly a thumbs up, little finger up if they agree with someone else’s strategy. After our number talks the children have been exploring different dot patterns in a ten frame with a partner. Here are some photos of the children.
