P2M have had a very busy few weeks back! We have all managed to settle in well and are having great fun getting to know each other.

We have been learning, and revising, lots of different sounds such as ph, wh, th, ng. We have been working on our place value in numeracy and have been learning about different shapes, with Miss Hendrie, during maths time.

We have started to explore our topic, House and Homes, and are looking forward to finding out more. We have had some interesting questions which we will hopefully be able to answer during this term:

“Why do people have numbers on their doors?”- Paige

“Why do some people live outside?” – Maisie

“Why do people live in igloos?”- Adam

“How do you make a house out of sand?”- Luke

Lots of love, P2M.

Pupils of Primary 7P (and Mrs Patterson) have had a very busy and hard-working start to our year. Our term began learning all about Democracy and how it works. We then went on to hold our own democratic elections to select our Pupil Leadership team and House Captains. We learned about how to write a persuasive and emotive election speech and about how campaigns are run to persuade the electorate. There were lots of creative ideas used! Mr Swift made us great polling booths so our elections were as realistic as possible.

We also produced some fabulous art work, using pencil, water-colour and oil pastels to show how hands are used to convey lots of messages like peace, love, victory, strength and Democracy. We were proud of our finished art and surprised ourselves at how well they turned out. See what you think below.

Our Assembly was also to-day and we worked extremely hard writing our script to highlight how we can all make a difference to our world with inspirational stories and quotes in there to inspire us all to be the best we can be.

Can we make a difference?         Yes we can!

Lewis    We learned about democracy and how voting works and Mr swift set up a real polling station for house captain and leader ship vote. I am happy because I got picked for house captain.

Welcome to our first blog! We have all settled in very well in our new Primary 1 classroom. We have been learning all about life in school and have been getting to know our classroom routines. We have started learning different sounds in literacy (a, t, s, i, and p). We have also been listening to the number zoo stories in numeracy. We know all about penguin one, ticklish two, butterfly three and feathery four! We have been practising writing the sounds we have learned and the numbers 1 – 4. Primary 1 have been learning all about our school and had lots of great suggestions about what we could find out about our school.
