This week we have enjoyed time with our Committee friends outside in the fresh air…where we also enjoyed Outdoor Morning.
We have also enjoyed learning more about the initial sound ‘i’. We have confidently identified those items with the sound through pictures, model making and songs.
In our number work we have continued our learning with relation to patterns and worked on counting to 30 and writing the number 2.
We have also had great fun in P.E. and enjoyed sensory activities.
What a difference a week can make… Tay Class had time playing outdoors on the grass now all the snow has melted.
We had a visit to the trim trail with Rannoch Class which we really enjoyed especially as we haven’t been there for a while. AE and AH loved playing in the big puddle and did really well taking turns with one another.
We listened to and watched songs about ‘Hot and Cold’ and did a few follow-up activities. We’ll continue this topic next week.
Our favourite stories this week were ‘Arnie and the Donut’ and ‘The Three Little Pigs’.
Mrs McMaster had the big climbing frame and ladder out for us at PE. We did so well balancing, climbing and challenging ourselves on this. Fantastic Tay Class!
In class this week we have been using different language for big and small in our number work, greater and less, more and fewer. We have played lots of games with numbers to develop our understanding.
We spent some time this week deciding what it was that we wanted to learn about Scotland for our topic, we came up with some fantastic ideas and are now keen to learn more.
It was lovely weather for our outdoor learning this week and we enjoyed spending some time in the school garden, checking on what we had planted at the start of the year. After the garden we had some time in the trip trail, work on our balance and co ordination skills as well as working together. Everyone loves getting outside.
In RE we learned the story of Noah and his Arc, we all made our own rainbows 🌈 to represent God’s promise.
Have a lovely weekend ☺️
We have had a super week in Rannoch Class…Despite the snow being away we have enjoyed beginning our new Topic – ‘Winter’
We have been learning about related weather, what to wear and what animals do when the weather grows cold.
In our Read, Write Inc. lessons we have been learning about the initial sound ‘t’.
In our Beyond Number work we have been learning about patterns and how to recognise ‘what comes next’. In our Numeracy we have been learning how to count from 1-20.
All in all, a busy and happy week!
Happy new year from primary 7!
we have came back from our winter holidays feeling refreshed and ready to learn. We have settled back into out structure and routine and enjoyed setting out 2025 goals. We discussed how we can be the best versions of ourselves for our last few years of primary school. 
We have been working hard on our maths with building out thinking classrooms. Maths can be tricky but we are building connections how maths appears in our everyday life. 
We enjoyed reuniting with our buddies and look forward to learning more with them in 2025. 
Happy New Year from Ness Class. And what a start to 2025. Our budding entrepreneurs decided they would like to create their own McDonalds at cooking time today. Lots of processes to go through but the production line worked well. Fries, burgers (cheese and plain) and nuggets were offered. Inspired by the cartoon Sponge Bob, Dominic named our restaurant the Crispy Ness!
Enjoy our pictures!
What a fast first week back to school in Primary 1.
We have enjoyed the excitement of the colder weather, in class we had snow in our tuff tray and made our own ice 🧊 with water in the freezer. It was lots of fun trying to save the winter animals that were trapped in the ice. This brought about lots of discussion around the process of freezing and melting and how we have had snow and not rain.
We took this interest into our writing this week, writing about ice and snowmen ⛄️.
During number work we have been looking at ordinal numbers and left and right. This gave us lots of opportunities to have races and play lots of games. We looked around the room to see where else we use ordinal numbers, we did very well pointing out that we use it on the calendar 📅 and that our birthdays 🎉 we use ordinal numbers.
We have started our new topic for this term, Scotland. We will be learning facts about Scotland and about famous Scottish 🏴 people and Scottish words and songs. We have started by looking at the 🏴 Scottish Flag and made some for our classroom.
Have a lovely weekend 😉
Everyone quickly settled back into our school routines this week after the Christmas holidays.
There was lots of snow to explore in the big school field! Sledging was lots of fun. The children used their communication and turn-taking skills. They showed great determination too! Well done Tay Class.
A super week back into school! It’s been lovely to see each other again. We have enjoyed time outside in the snow and on the sleds.
In class we have resumed our learning of the initial phonic sounds and our Beyond Number studies where we are looking at sequencing and patterns…
We are really looking forward to all our learning opportunities and time with our friends this term.
Primary 1 got our festive week off to a great start with our Christmas 🎄 party. We played games, had party food and even got a visit from Santa 🎅🏻
We baked some Christmas 🎄 cookies 🍪 in class, this was very messy but so much fun!
We had to follow the instructions carefully and use lots of skills.
On Thursday we enjoyed watching the Primary 4 to 7 Christmas 🎄 concert. We all really enjoyed the performance.
Throughout December our Elf has brought us lots of fun and today he confirmed we are all on the Good List. Sparkles is away back to the North Pole.
From all of Primary 1 we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 .
