Happy New Year and welcome back!

We have had a fantastic first week back at school.

Tickled Pink:

• We have started focusing on our new whole school topic ‘Scotland’. The children enjoyed using Google Maps to explore our local area. They were very good at moving about on the screen to get themselves from school to their house.
• We have also started learning a Scottish poem… I was blown away with how well the children knew their poem after only 1 day!! We will keep practising this at school (and home) so the children are confident reciting the poem on Monday 22nd January.
• In Maths we have been learning about the months of the year and enjoyed singing along to a song to help us remember the months. We have made a class calendar and added children’s birthdays to it. The children are making their own calendar which we will finish next week.

Green for Growth:

• Some of the children were getting a bit muddled with the order of the months (September – December). We will continue to practise this!
• Some of the children found alphabetical order a bit tricky, they enjoyed singing the song but needed support to fill in the missing letters in the alphabet maze.

Our Lead Learners are Murren for being kind, and Emma for being ambitious – Well done!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Wallace
