This week we have been revising all our sounds and practising our blending skills.

Some of the activities we did this week were: reading CVC words as fast as we could, reading sentences to find out what they said so that we could draw the correct picture, adding ‘ee’ or ‘oo’ to make words and another activity was sorting out words to make sentences.

Loads of fun in our classroom!

Keep up the great work P1! 🙂

This week we were learning how to sequence a flip book. We had to make each piece of paper equal or it would not work. It told the story of a skeleton jumping and falling down.

We also learned how to use a handspan as a unit of measurement. We enjoyed measuring objects in the class.

We have just finished our Matilda Assembly that we have been working on for MONTHS! All the parents loved it, and we even got asked for an encore.

Here’s some of our thoughts, on the come down:

“I feel amazing” – Katie P5

“I was really nervous, and now that it’s done, I just feel really happy” – Grace P5

“I feel relieved it is over, and that it went well” – Rianna P5

“I am in shock!” – Sophie-Lee P5

“Astonished!” – Ross P5

“I really, really LOVED it! Especially my costume!” – Dylan P5 (Miss Trunchbull)

“Simply amazing” – Reece P5

“I…feel…MARVELOUS!” – Ryan P5

“We worked really hard on this, and now that it’s over, and the parents enjoyed it, I feel happy…and exhausted!” – Elle P5

“We are magnificent!” – Fraser P5

“I couldn’t be happier with the class’s performance! They worked so hard and it really paid off! Well done all!!!” – Mr Hewitt P5

Next stop? Broadway!!!

P6/7 class got off to a good start this year by making lava lamps in Science.  Christopher brought in some instructions on how to make one and we worked in groups to make our own.  Amazing what can be done with some vegetable oil and food colouring!

New Year

We have learned that when we are having our lunch a different country is celebrating New Year! There is a countdown to midnight and did you know that in Scotland we call New Year’s Eve Hogmanay? We have all written our New Year’s resolutions – most of us want to keep our rooms tidy, but the teachers all want to get fit and healthy!

Class Focus

This week we have been earning points in class for good behaviour. If we have good listening, pay attention, work hard and don’t shout, then we can earn a class token. We have almost earned 100 so far!

We have a class pet called Marshmallow Max and to get him to sit with us we need to work hard and be kind to everyone else.

Our Classroom

We have taken some photos of our maths wall so you can see the questions we ask Mrs Beattie so we can work out what number she is thinking of. We have also been working on showing each other different ways of working out sums.

In our class we have a class book worm and each time we finish a book we write about the book in a coloured circle then stick it on the wall. Our book worm is almost half way round the classroom now!
