We have also continued to focus on our learning and have revised our Phonic knowledge and learned more about the initial sounds of ‘sh’ and ‘r’.
In Art we have painted fish in relation to our Topic focus; ‘Under the Sea’. We have also made models with clay…of dinosaurs!
A great week with great friends and great weather!

We have enjoyed a lovely sunny week in Rannoch class.
We have learned about the initial sound ‘e’ and have begun to work on recognising numbers that are more than, and less than, one number.
In our Arts & Craft time we have created a wonderful 3-D whale glitter poster….and have enjoyed playing in our marine shore tuff tray!
We have also been practising brushing our teeth after lunch to keep our mouths clean and healthy.
Working together in Ness Class
Teamwork was the theme of the week in Ness Class. We were all helping each other learn during reading, number and playing.
In Reading, some of us wanted to help read our Book Of The Week. Laura, Dominic, Hunter and Lochlan were very keen to ‘be teacher’ and teach the book to the class.
In number, we have been learning about Fractions. We used a big bag of sweets to help our understanding about what a fraction is. Everyone helped share out our 1 Big Bag into tenths. Some of us even understood sharing the small bags into thirteenths. Mr Elliott, Mrs Mains and Mrs Hill were absolutely amazed at our knowledge.
Finally, we have a lovely playtime today in the sun. Hunter, Dominic, Nathan and Laura decided to play their own game of Duck-Duck-Go! Or as it’s known in our class: Quack-Quack-Run!
Enjoy our pictures 🙂

All in all, a lovely week.
Tay Class Update
Prior to the February holiday Tay Class made bird feeders using apple slices. peanut butter and bird seed. They’re super quick and easy to make – why don’t you have a try? We hung ours around the Trim Trail so we could observe them and see how quickly the birds eat them.
As a treat and to end our ‘Hot and Cold’ science topic we had some ice cream cones. They were delicious! We chose from either vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. We are planning to do a pictogram to show our favourite flavours across the class, however some of the class were absent which means we will need to have more ice-cream another day. Will our choices will be the same next time?
It was great to have everyone back in class last week after the break. We quickly settled back into our routines.
We met some friends and adults from other classes in our Sensory Committee, out at the Trim Trail. There were balloons, ice, paint blocks, brushes, spray bottles with watery paint and paper. Many of us enjoyed exploring these resources.
There was a huge cardboard box in the outdoor classroom. One of our favourite activities ‘What’s in the box?’ changed to ‘who’s in the box?’ Everyone had a turn in the box. Some of us had lots of turns. It was great fun!- We did so well to take turns and share (a very small) space.
P2 News
We have thoroughly enjoyed our first week back after the holidays – it has been lovely to see our friends again.
We have had a very busy week….In Read, Write, Inc. we have worked hard on developing our Phonic skills and our reading.
In Maths we have also worked hard on learning about Fractions of amounts. We have been learning about whole parts, halves, quarters and three-quarters.
We have also learned about the symbols of the Holy Spirit as well as its meaning.
We also worked as table teams to design and draw a 7 foot long ‘tapestry of life at St Mary’s’ with illustrations of our memories, and experiences at school.
A great week!
