Last Friday…snow play.! Literacy and PE!
Monday..Spring sun…Our alphabet and number knowledge.
Tuesday…Sun showers! and shapes.
Wednesday….A Hoolie outside!…And wonderful sensory fun inside!
Each, and every day, we have had fun together. We have learned, laughed and, well, washed the mud off our wellies, and our hands for lunch together!
Our book of the week was Little Red Riding Hood. We’ll continue some activities related to this next week.
We’ve made the most of some lovely weather – playing in the field and the kick pitch. Several children explored their shadows on the kick pitch fence.
In class, some children played with the dienes materials again, creating different amounts. The 3d shapes were popular with most children exploring them during free- play (choose time). We’ve had some time to develop our understanding of patterns and this will continue next week. We continue to develop our literacy skills at our own individual levels.
Mrs McMaster prepared a variety of equipment again for our PE sessions- we explored this equipment and developed our skills.
Some process art involved printing with foil and mixing paint colours. This led to some messy, sensory hand mixing and printing by some of the children.
The class enjoyed play time in the ‘Shed’. Several of the children are developing their skills on the scooter- becoming more confident each time.
P5 have been hard at work as we head into the latter stages of the spring term. How can that be?
We had some incredible entries for the Burns Competition at the beginning of February and are proud to say that the overall winner was one of ours!
Could that possible be blue sky? Outdoor learning has become a lot more enjoyable this week with a bit of sunshine on our faces. Miss Nelson prepared a drama activity this week.
As part of our work to retain our green flag, we had an eco hour last week where we couldn’t use any electricity or technology for an hour. We actually enjoyed those big lights being off! We designed logos for our uniform swap shop during this time.
This week, we enjoyed some World Book Day shenanigans. We created a makeshift den and mapped out our favourite story settings. We took part in a book treasure hunt, created playlists for our favourite characters and wanted posters for our favourite villains.
Have a great weekend!
A celebration of Books in Ness class helped by Primary 7 pupils this week. We enjoyed our Book Hunt, especially with our P7 friends helping out.
Later that day, we enjoyed making Oat Cookies after writing about our new Superhero Captain Oatie!
This week in P3 we had lots of exciting activities, including celebrating World Book Day and welcoming our families into school for Sharing Our Learning.
To celebrate World Book Day, we took part in several fun literacy activities. The children designed their own book covers and wrote a short story to match their ideas. We were very impressed with their creativity and imagination! They also made bookmarks to use when reading their favourite books. One of the highlights of the day was a scavenger hunt around the school, where the children searched for books and matched them to clues they were given about the book. Everyone had great fun exploring and working together.
Today we also held our Sharing Our, where parents were invited into the classroom to see what we have been learning. The children confidently explained that in maths we have been learning about measurement, focusing on metres and centimetres.
To demonstrate our learning, the children took part in a practical measuring activity. They used rulers to measure paper in centimetres, carefully cutting paper strips to the exact length. After measuring and cutting, they used their creativity to turn the strips into artwork. Once the artwork was complete, we compared the different lengths and talked about which were longer or shorter.
The children did a wonderful job explaining their learning and showing their completed work in their textbooks and maths jotters . We are very proud of how confident they were when sharing with their parents. Well done, P3! 🌟📚📐
This week our class enjoyed a lovely trip to the swing park on a beautiful sunny day. The children had a fantastic time playing on the swings, climbing frames, and slides while enjoying the warm weather. There was lots of laughter and excitement as everyone took turns trying the different equipment and playing together. It was wonderful to see the class being so active, supporting each other, and making the most of the sunshine. The trip was a great opportunity for the children to spend time outdoors, build friendships, and have fun together.
Another busy learning week in Primary 1. We have been learning all about living things with a focus on plants 🪴We discussed what plants need to grow and the different parts of plants. It was agreed that we would like to grow our own plants so in class we have planted sunflower 🌻 seeds and are looking to looking after them and watching them grow.
On Thursday we took part in world 🌎 book 📕 day. We took part in a book scavenger hunt, listened to authors reading their books and made book marks. It was lots of fun.
On Friday some of our grown ups came into school to join us for our school Big Breakfast and then in our classroom to share our learning. We love sharing our learning. We hope the grown up’s enjoyed visiting our classroom.
Have a lovely weekend ☺️
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.
What a day! We all loved World Book Day, especially coming to school wearing our pyjamas and some of us dressed up as our favourite book character.
Darcy – I liked the Authors Live.
Freya – After Authors Live we did our own comic strip characters! Mine’s is called Cherry Girl and her super power is that she can become invisible.
Grace – I liked the Scavenger hunt and we had to find clues and write the name of the book and the letter beside it.
Amber – We all got a book token home with us!
Oonagh – I love reading and this morning I was reading a “Horrible History” book from our class library. I dressed up as Jasmine from Aladdin.
Jack – I liked doing the wordsearch this morning. I found most of the words really quickly!
Lilly – I enjoyed reading in the library. It was nice and quiet.
Jude – The Authors Live was fun and we got to be illustrators! My character is called “Party Time” and his super power is that he can shoot explosive confetti out of his arms.
Macie – I liked doing paired reading with my partner. We took turns to read.

Abner – We wrote book reviews about our favourite book.
Siena – My favourite book is called “The Lion Inside” by Rachel Bright. It’s about a lion and a mouse. Everyone loves the lion and the lion is afraid of the mouse. At the end they become best friends because they tell each other what they are scared of.
With the arrival of the Spring sunshine, we have had a lovely week inside and out!
In class, we have been practicing our motor control skills and pencil control. We have also been practicing matching lower, and upper case letters. We have also begun to learn about CVC words.

We have also enjoyed sensory-rich water play and modelling with bouncing putty!
We have also enjoyed our lunches…yum!
