This week in class we worked on the phonics sound v, exploring words that begin with and include the sound. In numeracy we focused on shapes, learning to recognise and name them. We enjoyed P.E. with Miss Lyndsay and Mrs McMasrer. We explored the  trim trail looking at flowers and the butterflies which helped us with building our confidence outdoors. We also spent time in the outdoor classroom, making the most of the fresh air to support our learning. To finish off, we had fun in music, listening, moving and joining in with rhythms.

Have a great weekend ☺️

This week in Rannoch Class we have been busy developing our skills through lots of fun activities. Outdoors, we explored our environment and worked together in construction play, building with big blocks. We enjoyed making music through body percussion, learning to listen and copy sounds. With Play-Doh, we had a great time creating, moving, and working on our fine motor skills through play. The children have been engaged, active and building confidence while learning in different ways.

This week in P5 we’ve been busy learning and building on our skills. In Literacy, we continued developing our reciprocal reading strategies, with a focus on predicting what might happen next in our stories. In Numeracy, we explored place value and patterns to strengthen our number knowledge. In Science, we linked the water cycle to real-life situations, thinking about how it affects our homes, crops, and the world around us. We also continued learning Spanish, building on greetings and classroom language. It’s been a great week of teamwork, learning, and fun!

This week in P5 we were introduced to our new reading groups and began exploring the reciprocal reading skills that will help us become more confident readers.

In numeracy, we worked on place value, comparing and ordering numbers, and creating number patterns.

In science, we linked the water cycle to real life, thinking about how it impacts our homes, crops growing and the wider world.

In Spanish, we learned how to respond to ¿Cómo estás? with phrases like Estoy bien.

We revised our H&WB indicators this week and completed some group work on how we see the indicators in school.

We also enjoyed going outdoors with Ms. Nelson to take part in some fun challenges and work on our charter.

In art, we explored how to describe ourselves using pictures rather than words – a very creative task!

We finished off our door display and class charter that we worked on together

Stay tuned to see what we get up to next week.

In class, we worked on joining in with group times, taking turns at the teaching table, and sharing learning with adults and friends. We also practised important routines like snack and lunchtime, helping us to build independence.

It has been a busy and positive week, full of opportunities to learn, play and grow together!

We have had another busy and exciting week in Primary 5! The children continued to work on our class door display and made great progress creating our class charter, helping us think about the kind of classroom we want to learn in together.

This week we were also introduced to Spanish and enjoyed learning some basic greetings to use with one another. In Health and Wellbeing, we spent time talking about the important people we can go to for help both inside and outside of school.

In Science, the class explored the water cycle, learning all about precipitation, condensation and evaporation, and linking these ideas to real-life examples. The children showed fantastic curiosity and made great connections with their prior learning.

It’s been another fantastic week of learning and we are looking forward to what next week will bring!

P5 have had a brilliant second week back at school! We’ve been busy learning some Spanish and practising basic greetings – ¡Hola! In literacy, the children were introduced to new reciprocal reading skills, helping them to work together and share ideas when reading. In science, we explored the water cycle, learning about evaporation, condensation and precipitation, and the children really enjoyed linking this to what they see in the weather around them. We also continued our creative work on our classroom door display and class charter, making sure our room reflects the values and ideas that are important to us as a class.

This week the children have been very busy learning and having fun! They loved exploring the sensory room with its lights, sounds, and textures, and had lots of active play on the trim trail. In class, we have been practising coming to the teaching table for learning and joining in with our morning group times. Snack and lunch have also been lovely opportunities to share, make choices, and build independence. We are especially proud that some children are now starting to use their visuals really well to show what they want — a big step forward in their communication. 😀

Stay tuned to see what we get up to next week! 😌
