Good Afternoon Parents and Carers,

We had a busy week in class last week filled with lots of literacy, numeracy and topic, including creating 3D planets out of paper mache which worked a treat. Our class display is really coming on now and will hopefully be looking smashing for Parents Night.

In Numeracy I introduced the class to CPA-concrete, pictorial and abstract maths. This concept allows everyone to use different strategies to support their numeracy through physical items, pictures or numbers. It took a little while for the children to grasp the idea but once they got into it they really enjoyed it. These strategies are now on display on the Number Talks wall in class.

Congratulations to Zac Wilson and Lewis Dickie for receiving Head Teacher awards for fantastic vocabulary within their personal writing last week-keep up the great work.

Miss Moir
