This week, Primary 4 had their first NYCOS session and what a fantastic start we had! We had lots of fun exploring music and getting involved in a range of activities.

The children demonstrated excellent listening skills, following instructions carefully and engaging enthusiastically throughout the session. It was particularly lovely to see them encouraging and supporting their peers, celebrating each other’s contributions and joining in together.

We were so impressed by the children’s enthusiasm for the Expressive Arts and their willingness to have a go, explore and enjoy making music together. We are already looking forward to our next NYCOS session! 🎵⭐

This week, we have been making the most of the dry weather and enjoying some time outdoors on our school’s trim trail.

The children had lots of opportunities to develop their confidence, balance, coordination and independence while exploring the different activities. It was lovely to see each child engaging with the trim trail in their own way, with some choosing to challenge themselves and try new activities, while others built confidence through repeated practice and encouragement.

We were particularly proud to see the children becoming more confident using the balance activities and different elements of the trim trail independently. These small steps towards independence are fantastic to see and are a great way for the children to develop their physical skills while also building resilience and self-belief.

We’ve had another fun-filled week in P2 with lots of learning, exploring and opportunities to develop our skills! 😊

Numeracy: We continued building our understanding of numbers 1–10, focusing on finding one more and one less. We used a variety of hands-on materials and resources to help us explore numbers and develop our understanding.

Literacy: We continued working hard in our Read Write Inc. groups, learning new sounds and developing our reading skills. In writing, we began describing ourselves and wrote some sentences all about who we are.

French: We had fun exploring different feelings and emotions in French. We created colourful pictures to show different emotions and linked these to the French phrases we have been learning.

Religion: We continued our learning about justice, thinking about how Jesus welcomed everyone, made time for all children and treated everyone fairly. We discussed how we can show fairness and kindness to others in our own lives.

Art: Our art lessons continued with Mrs Ferguson, where we have been developing our creativity and artistic skills.

Assembly: We listened carefully to the House Captain hustings and heard from the pupils who are hoping to become this year’s House Captains. We’ll be casting our votes very soon!

Fun 31: We also enjoyed some lovely time with our P1 friends, sharing lots of fun and games during Fun 31.

What a busy week!

The routines in Primary 3 are well underway and children are comfortable in their classroom and within the school environment.

Read, Write, Ink groups have been firmly established and children know when, where and with which adults they are learning for Literacy.

The children have enjoyed learning about road trains this week which has been linked to our descriptive writing where we identified nouns and adjectives from a descriptive text.

Our numeracy tasks have included demonstrating different ways to partition numbers up to 99 using concrete materials and the whole/part model.

We had an exciting Assembly this morning where the Primary 7 candidates for House Captains and Vice Captains began their election campaigns to win votes. It’s going to be a tough decision when Election Day arrives!
