This week we found out our parts in the Nativity and started rehearsing the songs in the hall. We are setting an excellent example, showing the Primary 1s how we sit, sing and join in with the actions. Song words will go home in homework jotters on Monday, although they have learnt most of the words already!
In Maths we started learning about subtraction within numbers to 20. We found out that we can use our knowledge of subtraction within 10 to help us. For example:
7-5 = 2
17-5 = 12
We used a number line to help us with subtraction sums. We must remember to count the hops (sometimes we were forgetting and counting the number we started on).
Here’s a fun game to practise this strategy at home:

In Literacy, we have been learning how to write a letter. We know where to put the address and what information to include in a letter. We all did a fantastic job of writing letters to Katie Morag; we even had a go at writing a question for Katie.
As this week is anti-bullying week, we would like to tell you a bit about what we do in P2A to promote kindness. You may have heard the children talking about warm fuzzies. A warm fuzzy is a kind word or action. For example;
- Helping someone if they are stuck
- Inviting someone to play if they are on their own
- Giving someone a compliment
When we give or receive a warm fuzzy, we can put a warm fuzzy pompom in the jar. When the jar is full we can have a warm fuzzy party. The jar is starting to fill up because we are very good at giving warm fuzzies in P2A.

Thank you for reading our blog, have a great weekend when it gets here.
Love P2A and Miss Prince x
