A busy week as always!

In Numeracy, we completed our assessment and moved on to a new topic, addition using our number bonds. We continued to develop our confidence with numbers through practical activities and lots of discussion.

In Literacy, we continued working hard in our Read Write Inc. groups, practising our sounds, reading and writing skills.

In our People Who Help Us topic, we worked in small groups to create our very own drama pieces based on our learning. We had some budding actors and actresses in P2! 🎭 We then became drama critics and assessed each other’s performances, sharing one thing we loved and one thing that could make the performance even better next time. We loved seeing everyone work together, use their imaginations and build their confidence when performing for others.

We’ve had another fun-filled week in P2 with lots of learning, exploring and opportunities to develop our skills! 😊

Numeracy: We continued building our understanding of numbers 1–10, focusing on finding one more and one less. We used a variety of hands-on materials and resources to help us explore numbers and develop our understanding.

Literacy: We continued working hard in our Read Write Inc. groups, learning new sounds and developing our reading skills. In writing, we began describing ourselves and wrote some sentences all about who we are.

French: We had fun exploring different feelings and emotions in French. We created colourful pictures to show different emotions and linked these to the French phrases we have been learning.

Religion: We continued our learning about justice, thinking about how Jesus welcomed everyone, made time for all children and treated everyone fairly. We discussed how we can show fairness and kindness to others in our own lives.

Art: Our art lessons continued with Mrs Ferguson, where we have been developing our creativity and artistic skills.

Assembly: We listened carefully to the House Captain hustings and heard from the pupils who are hoping to become this year’s House Captains. We’ll be casting our votes very soon!

Fun 31: We also enjoyed some lovely time with our P1 friends, sharing lots of fun and games during Fun 31.

What a busy week!

We’ve been as busy as ever and have had lots of fun learning together!

🎨 Art: On Monday, we enjoyed a special art lesson with Mrs Ferguson, where we explored self-portraits and thought carefully about the features that make each of us unique.

📚 Read Write Inc.: We officially began our phonics and reading programme! We’ve been enjoying learning new sounds, practising our reading skills and getting stuck into lots of exciting stories.

🔢 Numeracy: great excitement this week as we started using our Maths No Problem book. We have been counting forwards and backwards from 10, recognising the number 0 and using concrete materials to help us develop our understanding. We’ve been on a real quest for numeracy success!

🧠 Health & Wellbeing: We talked about things that can help our minds when we are feeling worried or anxious. We enjoyed stories such as The Invisible String and explored different strategies we can use to help ourselves feel calm and safe. We have also reintroduced brushing our teeth after lunch, helping us develop healthy habits.

🇫🇷 French: We revised our French greetings and practised saying bonjour and greeting one another.

👮‍♀️👩‍⚕️We have begun our new topic ‘People Who Help Us’! We shared our ideas about the different people who help us in our community and started thinking of lots of wonderful questions we would like to find the answers to such as “do farmers sleep outside?”, “do fire fighters get scared?” and “do dentists take out their own teeth?”

What a fantastic second week! Stay tuned to see what we get up to next week!

What a wonderful first week back at school! 💛 We have loved welcoming our Primary 2 children back and getting to know one another  and Miss Fox again in our new classroom.

This week has been all about settling in, building relationships and making our classroom a happy, safe and welcoming place to learn. We have been talking about our school values, expectations and routines, learning how we can be kind, respectful and responsible members of our class community.

There has been lots of chatting, exploring, creating and, of course, lots of play! Through play and our activities, we have been discovering more about each other, sharing our interests and learning what makes our new class special.

It has been a busy but lovely start to our Primary 2 journey, and we are so excited for all the learning, fun and adventures still to come!

Well done, Primary 2 — what a fantastic first week!

We had a lovely last day in P5 with Miss Fox! We enjoyed drawing self-portraits and filling our sunglasses with our hopes and wishes for the summer. We also read the letters we wrote to our future selves when we first met Miss Fox back in P4 and shared them with our friends – there were lots of laughs as we looked back on our memories together. In the afternoon, we enjoyed some time outdoors before heading home. It was a wonderful way to spend our final day together in class this session.

We had a great day out yesterday at The Kelpies and Calendar Park for our end of year school trip! The rain stayed away which meant we could enjoy our time there! 🛝

Great excitement in P5 this morning – it was all about Scotlands victory at the weekend! We made some predictions last week, so we enjoyed having a look at them and seeing who really knows their stuff! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️

We created some art work based on the highland cow and Scotlands participation in this year’s World Cup! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
