This week was our class assembly was about WW2  , we all participated in it and we all did a fabulous job. Before we did our assembly we all made gas masks  and pin wheel poppies to wear for our assembly.Then for all the children on stage we made name tags.
We also wrote an imaginative story about a scarecrow who wanted to be real. Our main focus was describing the character and setting the scene. In maths we worked on dividing decimals by a single digit.
On Thursday we had badminton with Mrs Mooney and we played a really fast game of around the world. Surprisingly our top winner was Ella Watson, unfortunately Mrs  Mooney  didn’t win but she tried her best.

This week we have been working on division using the bus stop method. Please continue to work with your child at home to improve recall of times tables as this helps them with their division facts.

Thank you

Today pupils in P2 – P7Â will bring home their THINKING BACK LOOKING FORWARDÂ profile for this term. Â Â This is a profile of what your child sees as their progress in learning so far this session and also includes a summary of the pupils’ current strengths and next steps from the class teacher. Â Pupils in nursery and P1 will have learning to share through the Online Learning Journals system.
This is a new approach to reporting to parents for us this term and – as discussed in September’s newsletter – it forms a part of our FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER – SHARING LEARNING programme which we are developing this session.
We hope you find these new mid-year profiles more useful that the old-format final report in June. Â Please bring your copy along to your appointment on Wednesday or Thursday evening and you can discuss it with the teacher then. Â All pupils took home an appointment slip for parent appointments on Friday – if you don’t have yours – please call the office.
