This week we have been learning the sounds j and y. We have been writing words with these sounds and we are feeling confident about this. In writing, we wrote two sentences to tell people the food we liked and did not like to eat. In wordboost, we read ‘The Gruffalo’s Wean’ and we learned some scots words.

In Numeracy, we have been practising counting in 2s. We had to count the pairs of shoes and we know that if we count in 2s it is a quicker way. We also did some subtraction games and we are remembering all our strategies.

In RE, we have been completing our work for God’s Loving Plan. We spoke about how we are all unique and then drew a picture of ourselves. We also discussed different types of families and we said a special prayer to thank God for our families.

In topic, we learned all about different Scottish foods. We also learned about Steven Brown who is a Scottish artist and made our own version of a McCoo. On Thursday we celebrated Burns Night with P2/1 and P2 in the area and we ate some haggis, neeps and tatties, shortbread and some Irn Bru. We listened to some of the P2s reciting their Scots poems and we sand Heids, Shooders, Knaps and Taes. We had a great time!

On Friday, we celebrated 100 days of school with lots of different activities about the number 100. We managed to make a tower of 100 paper cups and we had fun knocking them all down. We spent time with our Buddies and made a picture with 100 sticky dots.
