Happy Holidays Primary 1!

I hope you all have a lovely half term and I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 27th October. Just before the weekend starts, let’s have a look at some lovely moments from this week.

Outdoor Learning

Ooooh it was a soggy one! We had been so lucky with the weather but sadly not on this day. We made a rainbow with red, orange, yellow and green leaves, waved to the friendly police officers and used the trees to protect us when the rain was heavy 🌈🍁🌧

It was our last session with Mr Reid so to say thank you we made him this card of us sitting on our favourite log! After the holidays we will have Mr Segal once a fortnight.

We are all unique!

Our finger prints are unique. No one else in the whole world has the same fingerprints as you! We learnt how to reproduce our fingerprints using a writing pencil and sellotape. We then used a magnifying glass to look closely to see if we could see any patterns.

We finished our display by adding our photos with speech bubbles saying what makes each of us special. Some of us can write in chinese, some of us can skip, some of us are brilliant at drawing monsters! We are ALL amazing ♥️

The Alphabet

This week our literacy tasks have been focussed around letter formation and CVC word writing. To help with this we have been using our magnetic boards. Each board has the alphabet on it and it is important that once you have used a letter, you put it back where it belongs on the rainbow.
Can you have a go at singing and writing the alphabet at home?

Busy Bee Learning

A team of pupils worked together to make this amazing castle with 3D shapes, adding in the little Stacking cubes around it. We learn so much from each other!

It’s getting colder and wetter as the year goes on. Make sure you are a super speedy zipper hero!

Warm wishes, Miss Copeland

This Week in Primary 2 12th-16th October

rmpstaff

As we come up to our first proper holiday week in Primary 2 we were working hard on our buildings as part of Our Community topic! Last week we had thought about the jobs people could have and made some stick people and this week we thought about the sort of buildings around us and what sort of buildings we could make ourselves. We thought about the design of the building itself and the furniture and other things inside our chosen building. We thought about the types of materials we might need for our ideas and you should have seen the fruits of our efforts already.

In Literacy we focused on our sounds and tricky words work this week. You can practise oi spellings here and oy spellings here. Below are some of the other activities we did with our sounds. We are working hard to use our sounds to spell our words with them and to know what any words we are using mean.

In our maths work, we continued looking at properties of shapes and started looking at symmetry. We looked at curved and flat faces on shapes and continued to name and identify properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects. Some people found the shape symmetry trickier while others found the pattern symmetry choice trickier.

Having a real look at curved and straight faces in our 3D objects alongside some games naming our 3D objects and looking for properties in our 2D shapes.

This was our last week with Mr Reid from Active Schools and we went out to Holyrood park!
(pictures to come – please do come look back later!)

Finally, a big shout out and thank you to everyone in Primary 2 for working so well from August until this October holiday!

Mrs B and Mrs Aylward look forward to seeing you back in school on the 27th of October!

Have a lovely holiday! Make sure to have fun!
