Good afternoon everyone,
Thanks to everybody who has attended Parent's Evening this week and I'll see some of you next week too.
We have been continuing with our work on Katie Morag and have finished off an information text about her and have just started the planning process of a personalised version of a Katie Morag story.
During maths, we have been brushing up on division and also partitioning, whilst in Geography, the class continued to add more details to their maps.
The big highlight of the week was undoubtedly getting to paint our miniature Scottish houses and the children are very excited to bring them home.
Thanks everyone,
Have a good weekend!

Good afternoon everyone,
Yesterday afternoon, the class absolutely loved using clay to create miniature houses that we are going to bring together to make a seafront inspired by the lovely seaside towns of Portree and Tobermory on the Isles of Skye and Mull respectively. I have got lots of photos which will follow in the coming weeks which will show the step by step process that the class are taking. The next job is to add some colour to the sculptures.
In maths, we have been focused on fractions and the class have been amazing at finding halves, quarters and thirds of shapes and amounts. We have loved playing lots of maths games related to fractions and I am so impressed with the speed at which some of the class are able to half and double numbers!
Have a good weekend everyone,
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm very proud of class two! Today, they stood up and performed the poem 'To a Mouse' by Robert Burns in assembly and were absolutely amazing.
Over the course of the week, the class have been learning about the legend of the Loch Ness Monster during guided reading and I was over the moon to hear that some of the children had been doing their own research at home.
During our geography session, we have been using atlases to identify towns and cities in Scotland as well as natural features such as Loch Ness and Ben Nevis.The class then used their own blank maps to interpret the position of different locations.
We have continued our English learning around the Katie Morag stories and are in the process of writing a diary entry from Katie's point of view.
Thanks all,
Have a good weekend!

Good afternoon,
Katie Morag has featured heavily in our learning this week. During our English learning, the children have listened to Katie Morag Delivers the Mail. They loved the story and went on to sequence the story and write a thank you letter to Grannie Island from the point of view of Katie Morag. This writing work has linked beautifully with our Scotland topic and the children loved getting the atlases out again in Geography to name the countries and capital cities of the UK. They even had a go at drawing the flags of each nation.
Thanks everyone,
Have a good weekend!

Good afternoon everyone,
The headline this week has been the weather. The class have been fantastic and not made a fuss about our indoor playtimes.
We have started off our year by writing recounts about our Christmas holidays. The children have loved talking, drawing and writing about what they have been up to. In maths, we have been creating block graphs, pictograms and recapping on some 3D shape knowledge. During our music session, we had a go at learning a song in the genre and style of rap and the children were great at performing it with some actions. During guided reading and geography, we have started our Scotland topic and looked at the world continents and oceans as well as the song Auld Lang Syne by Robert Burns.
Thanks everyone, have a good weekend.
Mr. H.
