We have quickly settled back into school and enjoyed our Scots language focus. Well done to everyone who recited or read a Scots poem in class. We have also been learning to solve word problems in numeracy and use days and months to record time in English and French. Here are a few of our highlights so far:
I have learned that the Earth spins around the Sun. Each spin takes 24 hours and Earth takes 365 days to travel all the way round the Sun. (C)
365 days is a year. (J)
I have learned a lot of new jumps in PE. (T)
I like learning yoga because it helps me feel calm. (A)

We have lots to look forward to:
I am looking forward to performing our show with the P2s, P3s and P4s. (T)
I love Maths and I am looking forward to multiplication and division. (T)
I would like to learn about Chinese New Year. (M)

We are beginning to plan the show and we are very excited about performing to our families and friends on Wednesday 11^th March. We hope to see you then!
