Primary 2 – Week in Review

We looked at features of Road Safety this week, from identifying road crossings in our local area to spotting speed signs on the roads too. We also worked on our Scottish Dancing with our P7 buddies as some of our highlights this week!

In literacy, as well as writing our reports about Road Safety, we continue to work with Read, Write, Inc and our books this week featured the ‘ng’ sound. In our numeracy work we focused more on place value.

Lastly, well done and congratulations to our

Samar

for being an Effective Contributor for his confident contributions to class discussions this week including sharing his Road Safety writing and working hard on his report! Well done!

Fantastic Friday!

This week in the nursery we are still exploring light and dark and have started to discuss winter. We have been mixing different colours of paint to see what different light and dark shades we can create. We have also made spotlight shadow pictures, recycled models of our houses with lit up windows and bright lamp light pastel pictures. Some of us enjoyed making their own story books at the writing table, coming up with their own plots and illustrating their ideas. 
We made more snow dough to play with which made the nursery smell lovely. We helped to make some yummy pancakes and decorated some delicious “space biscuits” for snack. Now that the weather has turned Wintery, we have been discussing how to keep ourselves warm with hats, gloves, scarves, hot food and drinks. We have started to practice Christmas songs for our Christmas party – we have particularly enjoyed Feliz Navidad! We will send home a leaflet with the lyrics of our Christmas songs and would really appreciate it if you practiced these at home with your child.

Please continue to post your lovely pictures of all the fun you have at home on the Learning Journals. The newsletter will be sent out shortly and will have all the dates of our upcoming Christmas activities. We hope you have a great weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday!

Scribble Spelling!

This week Primary 4 have tried a new spelling activity – SCRIBBLE SPELLING – but it doesn’t mean we don’t use our best handwriting…

We ‘take a pencil for a walk’ and draw a simple swirly pattern on our page and then we fill each section with a spelling word which we repeat and repeat until the space is filled. We can use a different colour for each space to create a wonderful picture!!

Take a look at this example, Mrs Peoples especially likes that all the ‘air’ trigraphs are joined up too 😊

Scribble Spelling will be one of our suggested activities for spelling homework next week, we look forward to practising this at home!
