We’ve had another week full of fun, learning and lots of smiles! In Numeracy, we enjoyed playing number bingo, which was a great way to practise our listening skills and quickly find and recognise numbers.

For Outdoor Learning, we headed to the woods with P1. We learned about our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe and how important it is to respect and look after nature. We buddied up with our P1 friends and worked together to complete a senses hunt, exploring what we could see, hear, smell and feel around us.

On Friday, we finished off our busy week by continuing to Bump Up Our Free Writing! We are becoming more confident writers every week and love seeing all the wonderful ideas P2 come up with!

Well done, P2, another brilliant week!

In P.E. we explored the game of tennis and the skills required to play the game with a racket and tennis ball. A lot of concentration!

We wrapped up warm and joined P1 for an autumn adventure, exploring on our walk, visiting the park and getting creative with some autumn artwork.

We finished our week with a brilliant Friday! After enjoying our Big Breakfast, our grown-ups joined us for Sharing Our Learning. We proudly showed them some of our literacy work and talked about what we had been learning. We then became writing partners and created some writing together – we even received lovely feedback from our grown ups about our fantastic sentences.

This week in Primary 2, we have had another fantastic week of learning and working together. The children have shown great enthusiasm across all areas of the curriculum and have continued to build their confidence, independence and teamwork skills.

Unfortunately, the wet weather meant we were unable to visit our garden during Outdoor Learning this week, but we made the most of our outdoor classroom instead, enjoying learning and exploring in a different outdoor space.

We are very proud of all the hard work and positive attitudes shown by the children since returning to school this year. We hope everyone has a wonderful September Weekend and enjoys some well-earned time with family and friends! ☺️

Our learners have been busy exploring lots of exciting new experiences both inside and outside the classroom. In Numeracy, we have been developing our understanding of number bonds through practical activities and storytelling. The children enjoyed using stories to help make sense of numbers.

As part of our learning about being responsible citizens, we attended the P7 House Captain election. Everyone had the chance to talk to the candidates, vote and make their voice heard.

We are also getting very excited about beginning our outdoor learning journey! This week, we explored different outdoor spaces around our school and discussed how we can stay safe while learning outside. The children shared thoughtful ideas about potential risks and worked together to create our very own Outdoor Learning Class Charter, which will help us enjoy our outdoor adventures safely and responsibly.

Our Meta Skill focus was Working Together, and the children demonstrated this brilliantly while building castles using LEGO. They listened to each other’s ideas, solved problems as a team and showed great creativity as they worked collaboratively on their designs.

To end our week, we attended Mass together on Friday morning. It was a lovely opportunity to come together as a school community.

Primary 1 enjoyed a fun afternoon meeting their new teacher, Miss Fox, as part of our transition activities. The children took part in a fun “Get to Know Me” activity.

The children shared their ideas about the toys and resources they would like to have in Primary 2 and helped design what they would like their new classroom door display to look like. They also had the opportunity to explore their new classroom and take part in a fine motor skills tuff tray challenge.

It was a lovely afternoon, and the children are already looking forward to their exciting move to Primary 2!

Savoury week and we made toasties. We all enjoyed picking our toppings and  tasting them once cooked.

It was savoury week in cooking 🧑‍🍳 club this week and we made sausage rolls.

We had to be very careful using meat, we all did very well following the instructions .

Some of us decided that we usually don’t eat sausage rolls but we will try them because we made them 😊

It was sweet week and we made chocolate truffles. We had to get our hands messy this week to roll the ingredients into balls. It was hard not to eat some as we were cooking 🧑‍🍳 as it was very tasty 😋

Lots of skills were used making our truffles, smashing, scooping, mixing, rolling and sharing.

We had a great start to cooking club, this week was savoury week and we made pizza rolls .

Everyone followed the instructions well to make a delicious treat. We had to spread, fold, sprinkle, and baste our rolls before putting them in the oven to cook.

We all worked very  well collaboratively.

Grace – I shared my pizza at home.

Ellis – my big brother ate it!

Jack – it was yummy.
Mya – I ate it all, it was tasty.
Theodor – I loved mine.

Millie – I enjoyed making them and eating it!

We are all looking forward to next week.

This is the last week of this block of cooking club. We have all enjoyed spending extra time together learning new skills.

For the last week we made Christmas 🎄 reindeer crispy cakes. As always lots of skills were used to create these tasty 😋 treats.

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas 🎄
