Primary 1 Learning Highlights 12th January 2024

We have had a fantastic first week back at school!

In PE, we have started our gymnastics block and we have been learning about balancing. We practised doing different balances on the mats and we also had a turn at trying to hold the balance on the bench. We were all very confident and keen to share our learning with our friends.

In phonics, we have been learning the ‘v’ and ‘x’ sounds.  We set up a vet surgery in our classroom and we have had lots of fun helping the animals. We have been practising reading our CVC words and we are showing confidence with this. In writing, we wrote a sentence to describe a woolly hat and we tried to use the word ‘and’. Miss Stebbing was very impressed with our writing and that we can discuss our writing targets.

In maths, we have been learning subtraction strategies and we know that the answer is a smaller number. We have been using our finger patterns to help us complete the sums. We also discussed the months of the year and made a calendar.

We have started a new topic all about Scotland and we talked about what we would like to learn.

 

Some of our personal highlights this week are:

Matteo – I enjoyed seeing the buddies at lunch time.

Maksymilian – I enjoyed playing with the marble run.

Tyler T – I enjoyed playing in the vets.

Lewis – I enjoyed playing outside.

Maja – I enjoyed playing in the vets.

Danvith – I enjoyed drawing on the Smartboard.

Alfie – I enjoyed playing in the vets.

Leah – I enjoyed playing outside.

 

Congratulations to Posy who is our Hot Chocolate Winner and to Tyler T who is our Reading Champion.

This week in P2/1

What a great week we have had in P2/1.

We have completed lots of lovely Christmas crafts this week and P1 made our buddies a special Christmas card which we delivered today. Ellie has really enjoyed drawing pictures this week and when her friend brought in some chocolates for us all to share.

On Wednesday P2 enjoyed a fun filled party. They enjoyed dancing and playing games. Well done to Katie who won the game Corners. Connor liked playing the game corners.

On Thursday it was P1’s time to party. We had a special visit from Santa, individual photos of this have been posted on Seesaw. Leighton really enjoyed the games we played, well done to Willow who won the corners game.

We wish all our SJO families a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing everyone again in 2024.

P6/7 Toilet Update

Our P6/7 toilets are now completed and will be officially handed over to West Lothian Council today (we won’t be cutting a ribbon…even though we are celebrating this upgrade).  Thank you again to the Parent Council for their relentless campaign to improve the facilities for all of our children.  The P4/5 and Accessible toilet upgrade will begin after the Christmas break.  We have attached some photos for you to be able to see the new toilet facilities.

Brass Performance

These two P7s (who also happen to be the Captain and Vice-Captain of St Columba House) took time today to spread joy and happiness when they played Christmas classics on their cornets.  They performed for all of P1 and also our ELC children who were a very grateful audience.  We are so proud of them for their confidence in sharing their talents with others.
