Next Thursday 5th March is World Book Day and we are going to be having a Literacy day focussing on stories and books. One of the activities we will be doing is decorating a potato as one of our favourite book characters! 🥔📚 If possible can the children please bring in a potato along with any materials to help them create their character. There will also be a selection of materials available in class for them to use if needed.
The children are invited to dress up as a book character if they wish and bring in a favourite book from home to share in class.
Thank you advance! 😀
What a great time we had outdoors yesterday working with P1 and the nursery children. We were donated a slide for use in the outdoor space but wanted to make it a bit more exciting/challenging!
We had spare loose tyres and LOTS of bark from the trees that were chopped down recently so mission tyre pyramid was born!
The children were such troopers and got stuck in straight away. What teamwork! Some of our p7 buddies even popped over to help!
Also, Mrs Owen’s had built a wee store to put the logs in for fire building but we needed to make it more sheltered. We had lots of fun using real hammers and nails! 🔨
Forgot to say when photos are needed 🙊🙈. Please can children bring them in on Monday (24th Feb).
Thanks!
We are going to be learning about how our bodies have developed since being a baby. If possible, please can your child bring in 3 photos showing them as a baby, toddler and a more recent picture. Can you please ensure all photos have names on the back. These will all be returned.
Thank you. 🙂
We are having a day outdoors next Thursday (20th Feb) to begin a wee project in the Nursery/Early years garden.
Please can children come to school prepared for all weathers as we will be outdoors come rain or shine (shine preferably 😜).
Spare clothes would be useful too!
Have a lovely long weekend with your little superstars! 🌟
A wee round up of our week: Kapla creations, class talks, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, a_e spelling words, creative drawing and Chromebook buddies!
Have a great weekend!
Today was a very special day in P1/2. We celebrated the P1s 100th day at Primary School.
We had lots of ‘100’ activities in soft start. The children had to: make Lego or Kapla models using 100 pieces, write 100 words, make 100 out of Numicon or place value materials, write 100 in lentils, make 100 out of magnetic numbers, make a peg board pattern with 100 pegs or paint 100 dots!
The excitement of seeing the ‘100 day’s banner!
The P1s then made ‘100 hats’ while the P2s made a counting in fives ‘hand display’. Lots of great numeracy involved in these tasks! The p1s used 10 strips with 10 items on them to make the hat while the p2s were skip counting in 5s as well as working out how many fives are in 100!
Next was a ‘hundred’ necklace out of Cheerios! The p1s used a hundred square to help them count out the cheerios while the p2s were challenged to make an array to 100.
We finished off the day with a little party. We had 100 of each snack! What a fun day!
Look out for a little homework challenge for P1s coming home tomorrow!
Have a wee look at what we have been up to over the last 2 weeks!
Soft start
The boys and girls are still loving the Kapla. They are always super proud of their creations and request lots of photos! They have also been enjoying some Chinese New Year activities and some water investigations.
Numeracy
We have begun learning about multiplication and have been busy making sets and arrays (rows and columns) and working them out by skip counting or repeated addition. We have also been working on doubles and number sequences.
Literacy
We are working on a text called ‘Cecil is a Spider’. We have spent time learning and acting out the text. Maybe your child can give you a little preview at home? Now we are making toolboxes to help us adapt the text and make it more interesting.
We made one for ‘words for said’ and ‘time connectives’. We also played ‘Playdoh punctuation’ to help us practise punctuation.
Jammin’ Fitness
We had a special fitness session called ‘Road to Japan’. After an inspiring assembly we got to take part in a dance session. What a fun time we all had!
This week we are learning the sounds “ee/or”. These sounds are taught together. We will work on both sounds all week, however will mainly focus on the “ee” sound today and tomorrow and the “or” part on Wednesday and Thursday.
