It has been a busy week in P5. We enjoyed taking part in another drumming workshop where we were introduced to some new percussion instruments. We took part in a whole school reading river which was a bit of a novelty. I’m not sure it was high quality reading but we all thought it was a huge amount of fun!
Next week we will continue to learn about our role as Pilgrims of Hope. Have a great weekend.
P5 had a visit this week from Resilient Rhythms. It was fascinating to learn about the origins of a new musical instrument, and have a go at it. We are looking forward to sharing what we have learned in the coming weeks.
We have been continuing our learning about Mary Queen of Scots and enjoyed finding out some interesting facts about Edinburgh at that time. We are all very grateful for modern plumbing! We created images of cramped, dilapidated buildings and used ink and quills to give them an old worldly feel. Have a good weekend.
It has been a busy first week back in P5. We have attended our first committee of the school year where we have the opportunity to share our views and opinions about our experiences at St Mary’s.
We completed a writing assessment on information reports. Look at that concentration!
We attended our first upper school Halloween party. It was enjoyed by all. There were some cracking dance moves on display! I apologise for the picture quality being poor.
P5 have enjoyed our mini topic on oceans of the world and the coral reef habitat. We concluded it by creating a model of a submarine that could dive to the coral reefs, collect samples, provide visuals and provide communication to the surface. The results were fantastic. Happy September weekend!
Welcome back P2! It has been a busy first week. We thoroughly enjoyed rounding it off with our Halloween party today. There were plenty of superheroes, villains, werewolves and princesses in class. Some we couldn’t even recognise! Have a great weekend.
This week we have enjoyed working with Mr Elliott on our Building the Thinking Classroom Project. We are learning how to organise ourselves into groups, allocate roles, share our theories and work as a team to solve problems. We are loving it!
We have enjoyed some maths play to further enhance our understanding of the number system.
We celebrated mass today with Father Marcin and received many compliments about our fabulous singing.
Have a wonderful October break.
Thank you so much to all of the grown ups who joined us today for writing. We hope you enjoyed our morning dance, reading our stories and playing our literacy games.
The tooth fairy is picking up quite a lot of business in this class just now! Have a great weekend.
It has been a short week but a busy one. We continued to use the whole part model in mats to display our calculations and demonstrated how to complete the whole part model using the number line strategy.
We continued to learn about the kindness of Jesus by listening to the story of the loaves and fish.
Today, we thoroughly enjoyed our free writing session as we described adventures we’d had, places we were going, achievements we had accomplished and fantastic stories we had made up. Thank you to Lucas who collected some photographs for us.
A big well done to Jax, Lucas, Jude and Joseph this week. Jax earned our Leader in Me award this week for working very hard each day to achieve his targets. Lucas is our reader of the week after shouting out common words with ease in our daily practise. Jude earned multiple awards at his Ninja class. Joseph learned how to ride a bike all by himself and then rode it to school! There’s no stopping P2! Have a great weekend.
This week in P2 , we have been upping our maths game by introducing the whole part model. We explored how one number is made up of two other numbers.
Elsewhere, we celebrated Mother Teresa on her special day, 5th September . We listened to her life story, created our own Mother Teresa portraits and discussed ways in which we could spread the same kindness.
See you next week!
It has been another busy week in P2.
We enjoyed seeing Mrs Keenan again for music and could be heard singing at the top of our voices and marching to the beat from the other end of the corridor!
We continued to explore the health and wellbeing indicators. We are beginning to recognise their importance to our own health and we can link them to some of our Rights.
We have been exploring some more maths vocabulary and can confidently use the phrases less/fewer than and more than. We are beginning to access our Sumdog accounts so that we can play games and have competitions to support our learning in maths.
We enjoyed another assembly with Miss Pritchard and reported back on how we can spread kindness. Congratulations to Kendall who won our first certificate of the school year for impeccable listening and always showing the school values.
We can’t wait to do it all again next week! Have a great weekend!
