Some great action shots from PE today. We made a circuit to practice all the skills we’ve learned this term. We are so good at running, hopping, jumping, balancing and rolling a ball. We are getting much better at throwing and catching and aiming for a target. The children really enjoyed this!

Since we have been focusing on shapes we looked into Tessellation and tiling patterns a few weeks ago. Some children have been making their own during free play. Look how good these are!

P1 working hard on their numeracy. We’ve been learning numbers to 10 this week focusing on number 7. What this looks like and how to write it. We’ve also looked at 10 frames and offend ways 7 can be made on the frames. This morning we used ‘noodles’ to make a ‘n’ sound and then practiced writing it!

P2 working hard on their addition skills again today. To start off the lesson we reminded ourselves what addition and take away meant. We did sums physically by moving children and 1 child being an adding sign. Then we worked in pairs or by ourselves to practice some sums we made up. Fabulous work!

P2/1 worked together to try and make shapes using their bodies. We had to problem solve and work hard together to make different shapes. We managed to make a square, rectangle and triangle. We tried a few others too. 🔴🟦🔼

P2 are focusing on addition and subtraction and the ‘ow’ sound as in snow. This morning we had a silly ow song and came up with lots of words together! We then wrote words on our own practicing sounding out the words. We are also beginning to look at what a community is. Look at our ideas!

This week P1 will be working on the ‘n’ sound and the number 7. This morning we learned the song for ‘n’ and practiced writing them. Look at all the words we came up with. For the number 7 we looked at the number blocks and then practiced the formation of 7.

Primary 1 working hard on their numeracy skills. We focused on number 6 this week, we worked on showing 6 using the 10 frames.

In PE we have been focusing on our co-ordination skills and moving our bodies. This week we focused on rolling, throwing and catching a ball. P2/1 loved the warm up game, we pretended we had paint all over our hands and feet and were painting the hall.

Friday fun in P2/1. We have been exploring 2D shapes over the last few weeks. This week we started looking at 3D shapes! We’re beginning to remember shape names and some of their properties.

P1 have been focusing on the number 4. Yesterday we made the number 4 from playdough. P2 have been building on their adding skills using the colourful blocks to help. Great creativity happening in our class, we had a toy shop and helicopter landing pad!

Some great learning today from P2/1. We have been working so hard on our adding skills in P2. L had the chance to become the teacher, writing sums for her friends and helping them to answer if they were unsure. P1 working hard on letter formation today! 😄

P2/1 have loved the new addition of a puppet theatre in our classroom 😄. We have been coming up with silly stories to share with our friends 🤣! We are starting to think about our stories having a beginning, middle and end. The owl 🦉 and squirrel 🐿️ puppets became firm favourites. 📖

P2 having been showing off their brilliant adding skills using a number line! We discussed how it is easier to start with our bigger number and add on the smaller number. We have also been enjoying using the magnetic letters to help revise our phonemes. Look at the fabulous words L wrote! 🔡🔢

Mr Bear has become a big part of our class! He likes to get involved with our play and our learning. This week he left us a surprise on Monday morning! We have new story jotters to let our imaginations run wild. He has also been leaving notes to children! 📚🧸

New sound this week for P1. We practiced writing this and making tinfoil t’s. P2 have been working hard on their adding skills over the last few weeks. We’ve learned that even when the numbers are switched in the sum the answer stays the same! P2 have been learning about the skeleton too! 🦴➕🏓

What a great start to our week in P2/1S! Recap of phonics ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ and numbers to 30 for P2, first phonics sound ‘s’ and number 0 for P1. Look at all those fantastic zeros from P1 this morning! P2 thought of quite a few words that had their sound. Ask us at about our learning! 0️⃣😊

P2/1 and Mr Bear have had a fantastic first week at school! We are settling in well and learning our new routines. Some great creativity and role play this week! I look forward to seeing you all next week, have a lovely weekend 😄.
