This week we have enjoyed time with our friends during Committee Time…we wrapped up warm and enjoyed fun times on the Trim Trail.
In Literacy we have focused on the initial sound ‘g’ and have begun to look a telling the time to the hour in our ‘Beyond Number’ studies.
We have also started a new topic and are looking at the wonderful word ‘Under the Sea’.
We had a lovely break but have thoroughly enjoyed our first week back with our friends.
A fabulous end to a busy term in Ness Class. We have really enjoyed our learning with many highlights to share. Our focus on Scotland and Burns led to many exciting learning opportunities and amazing Food Technology sessions. In Numeracy we have been very successful developing our strategies for multiplying- we really like grouping our numbers to help us count on! This will be a good strategy to help in our next learning block which will focus on Division and Fractions. We have also been using our clocks to tell the time. In Literacy, we are reading every day. Mrs Mains and Mrs Hill are really pushing our Reading Skills through Read, Write, Inc. We have also been focusing on Poetry and writing a Biography about Rabbie Burns. In Health and Wellbeing, we are developing our core strength during Class Yoga, and Mrs McMaster has been putting us through our paces within team games and racquet skills. Each week provides us with different learning opportunities where our pupils lead the learning by planning mini-topics using our Floor book. Enjoy a sample of our learning in pictures below.
A lovely end to a very busy, and happy, term in Rannoch Class.
We enjoyed the returning sun out on the Trim Trail this week!
We have also begun to learn about the world ‘Under the Sea’.
We have focused on learning words beginning and ending with the ‘p’ sound, and have completed our current learning stage relating to patterns and sequences. After the break we are going to start looking at Time.
We wish you all a lovely break and look forward to rejoining one another afterwards.
This week in Rannoch we have continued our phonics learning journey in looking at the initial sound ‘n’…..we’ve looked at words from the height of a bird’s nest to the very tip of our noses!
In Beyond Number we have made great progress in understanding, and recognising, ‘what comes next’.
In our other number work we have been revising counting to 20 and playing some new games!
We have also had great fun in the Sensory Room and at P.E.
A lovely fun, busy, and positive week!
Another successful and entertaining week in Ness Class. We had an amazing breakthrough in our Maths learning. The 6 times table is tricky, but we have discovered that making groups of 6 and adding on by 6 each time, gets the correct answer!
In our writing we were learning about Rabbie Burns. We planned a Birthday Party for him on Thursday and even had our own Burn’s Supper as the menu. Dominic and Laura loved the haggis. Shay and Nathan like the Tunnock’s Teacakes and the Irn Bru was a big hit with everyone!

With the weather warning closing the school tomorrow, I will put some little tasks on the Teams page for anyone who wants to access them. Instructions are on the SWAY the school is sending out to all parents and carers on Thursday afternoon!
Stay safe everyone!
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!
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!
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.
Tay class had a great time today at the Christmas party. We all enjoyed some delicious ice cream and other treats when we got back to class.
Last week we continued with our literacy and numeracy learning. We enjoyed PE with Mrs McMaster – especially the big climbing frame and ladder. We made some Christmas cards…so look out Mums and Dads for these coming home in our bags this week.
Below are photos of some us engaged in play during ‘Choose Time’ last week.
Primary 3 would like to thank everyone that attended the nativity today and I’m sure you will all agree that the children did very well and we are all very proud of them. We will post the photos on to their Seesaw pages.
