The New Year got off to a brilliant start this week in Ness. Getting back into our routines helped focus our minds back to enjoying time with our learning friends.

In reading, we have been exploring non fiction texts. In writing, we have been focusing on New Year Resolutions and presentation. Our Number learning is multiplying by 2 and 3 this week. We are also linking this to repeated addition allowing us to go beyond 2×12 and 3×12.

The highlight of our week was baking today. Our class chose Shortbread biscuits and we look forward to tasting them tomorrow.

Enjoy the pictures below.

Well…!

We are all back from our break and are raring to go.

We have settled back into our routine very well and have enjoyed learning about the letter ‘m’ and revising our numbers to 10.

We have also made some beautiful feather Art and enjoyed bubbletastic tuff tray sensory time!

The weather has been cold but we have wrapped up warm and been out on the Trim Trail enjoying our time together in the fresh air.

On the 25th of November a group of children represented our school at the Catholic Education Week Mass in Edinburgh. They had a lovely day travelling by train and attending a special Mass at the Cathedral. We went to the shop afterwards and purchases rosary beads and prayer cards for each class. All children were a credit to our school and we were so proud of how they showed our school values. Some members of the public even commented on how kind and well-mannered they were!  Well done everyone!
