This week we have been very busy!!

We have focused on our learning around the ‘m’ phonic in Literacy, and enjoyed sensory formation of the letter.

In ‘Beyond the number’ we have designed houses using 2-D shapes.

We have also enjoyed ‘Ready. Set. Go.’ races on the ‘kick pitch’. We have also enjoyed ‘hop-scotch’ in the Outdoor Classroom.

We have sung songs to welcome us into the day during our Morning Group sessions.

A lovely week with friends.

A super week …!

We’ve enjoyed sensory painting of Autumn Trees, races on the Kick Pitch and time in the Sensory Room.

We also learned more sounds in our Literacy time and progressed with our recognition of 2-D Shapes in our ‘Beyond Number’ studies.

We also all enjoyed the new Rainbow tunnel in P.E. and the Halloween party.

P5 have been enjoying some martial arts and mindfulness in small groups. Some of the class have been attending One Mind United Mirae Kuk Sool Korean martial arts in Polbeth where they have been learning multiple skills with the main focus on values and discipline. Under the expert tutelage of Master John, pupils have been learning explicit listening skills,  following instructions and showing respect. Other pupils have been enjoying mindfulness with a focus on health and well-being.

This week we had lots  of fun in P.E.

We also practiced our letter formation and recognition of which letters match with which images.  We also enjoyed looking at books from our library corner.

We enjoyed time in the sensory room and listened to songs to help us with our recognition of 2-D shapes during our ‘ beyond number’ learning time.

We also cooked….yummy cupcakes to enjoy as the October break started!

We also enjoyed cooking cupcakes!

Last week P6 enjoyed the European day of languages and particularly enjoyed tasting baguettes, cheese and sausages!
On Friday we had a super fun Sharing our Learning! First we showed parents what we do in reading, then we went outside to share some games we learned at camp! Parents weren’t at all competitive – NOT! Well done everyone!

We had a fantastic morning at our first Big Breakfast and Sharing Our Learning event of this session. What a fantastic turn out from our families! Thank you to everyone who came along, we loved showing you the fantastic things that we have been learning in St. Mary’s.

What a brilliant week we had to celebrate all things Maths and STEM on this Scottish Numeracy Week. Linked to our topic, Night and day, our pupils wanted to learn all about torches. We decided to build our own torches from scratch using Circuit materials.

It’s been a lovely week in Rannoch…We have learned about the parts of the body in our topic studies ‘All About Me’.

In our ‘Beyond Number’ studies we have been learning about coin values and are soon to move onto shape.

Our Phonics are also progressing – and this week we have focused on the ‘s’ and ‘i’ initial sounds.

We have also enjoyed time in the sun outside on the Trim Trail and playing in class with our friends.
