Welcome back! We hope everyone had a lovely October holiday.
This week we jumped straight back into our learning and had a very busy week. In Literacy we had a consolidation week, revising all of the sounds we learnt last term and applying our knowledge to different contexts. We were ‘diving for digraphs’, reading Yes/No questions and writing CVC words.
 
We also received a very kind gift from a friend of Miss Mudd. The MacDougall family kindly gave us a beautiful doll’s house to play with, as well as some jigsaws and games. We have loved playing with it and we are very grateful.
In Numeracy we were introduced to addition and learnt about the language and symbols that we use when adding. We have practised with lots of concrete materials and Miss Mudd was amazed at how quickly we all picked it up. The Primary 2 group were using TU frames to partition numbers and were using this knowledge to help with their addition.
For the next 2 weeks, we are doing an Outdoor Learning focus and P1/2 are learning all about different seasons throughout the year. We have been looking at Autumn so got the clipboards out and went on a nature walk to see what we could find. We collected lots of leaves, looking at the different shapes and colours. We then used these leaves to create hedgehog pictures. We had some great discussions about Autumn and thoroughly enjoyed getting out of the classroom and into the local environment.
We hope you all have a lovely week.
