As part of our work this week, we have a Home Learning Task to create a poster or leaflet with your top 5 tips to stay safe online. Please send this work in by Friday the 11th of February.
On Tuesday we were visited by Mrs Yang, Theodora’s mum [P2], who brought in objects and told us all about the Lunar New Year.
“The lady was showing us about Chinese New Year” Corey “We were making dragons” Emily “We made Chinese lanterns” Ethan “There was a monster [Nian] who was scared of red things and light and noise” Safia “We were making red dragons to scare away the monster” Tafari “It is the year of the Tiger” Jack
Throughout the week, we enjoyed counting to 10 in English, Spanish and Chinese. Learning to write numbers in Chinese (Mandarin) using paintbrushes was fun!
“We learned how to count in Chinese all the way up to 10” Jack “I was drawing lines” Georgie-Lee “We were using paint brush to colour to 10” Oskar “We were drawing for Chinese New Year and we done all of the lanterns” Alfie
“We were playing with noodles and playing shops. Ethan wanted some food” Alfie “Clara was making the noodles then Alfie was passing them to the boys so they could eat it with chopsticks” Corey “The red envelopes have money in them” Mason “Sometimes they have sweeties in them” Jack
We enjoyed investigating Chinese New Year in our play, learning how to use chopsticks, gifting red envelopes, and

Senses
Primary 1 enjoyed exploring the 5 senses through a fun, hands on afternoon!
“We were learning about our 5 senses and we smelled what was inside the box with our eyes closed then we had to guess what was inside it” Jack “We were tasting and one of them was sweet and one of them was salty” Corey “We were putting our hands in the box to feel what was inside of it and we had to guess what it was” Mason “Sometimes the lines looked different but they were actually the same” Jack “Optical illusions” Corey
It’s a busy one! This week is Equalities Week. Primary 1 will be focussing on visible and invisible disabilities, while continuing our learning about diversity, respect and celebrating our unique selves. Tuesday is Safer Internet Day We will also be enjoying some fun valentines day crafts, discussing love and families!
This week Primary 4 have worked so hard to practice counting in multiples of 25 and sequencing numbers in many different intervals both forwards and backwards. We particularly enjoyed this game on the topmarks website – Caterpillar Ordering
Welcome to another Week in Review for Primary 2! Languages Week work has kept us busy and some of this you’ll see more of in the coming weeks. Here’s a Spanish version of Baby Shark to get us started!
In our Time work we have enjoyed playing some of the games on Education City as we focus on telling the time to half past on an analogue clock using words. We have made our own paper plate clocks as we prepare to look at quarter past next and we also spend some thought on estimating time and how many times we can do an action like hopping in one minute. We had some really good guesses for our estimating!
In literacy we worked on the ‘ou‘ and ‘oy‘ sounds this week. Here and here are some games for ‘ou‘ and ‘oy‘ to practise if you wish. We read The Four Singers as a new fairy tale this week and acted out part of the story using our voices, bodies and facial expressions! Feel free to read over this on Active Learn.
In a very busy Languages Week we looked at the story and traditions around the Lunar New Year and how it is the year of the tiger this time! We looked at different stories in other languages such as the The VeryHungry Caterpillar in Spanish and we got to hear a story in Scots at the Children’s Library this week. We really enjoyed looking at a range of their bilingual books too.
As we come to the end of this week’s review, a big congratulations for…
Altay
for being a Successful Learner and his efforts to complete his work, follow instructions and for his fantastic working in literacy.
Lastly, Primary 2 enjoyed hearing this story and we remembered some of the other stories in this series:
Have yourselves a lovely weekend, remember to have fun and we look forward to seeing you next week!
