Today we made a display with our Lenten promises. P1 had lots of great ideas of how they could be kind, help others, and make good choices during Lent. So proud of their thoughtful reflections! ✝️

This week in writing, we’ve been creating some very special Valentine’s cards 💕💖 I am so proud of the thought and effort that went into every single one!

Home learning for the next two weeks is in every pupil’s bag. 📚✏️

Our wonderful new library display…remember to pop along and try to guess the reader 📚 Once upon a time we were all young readers too! Thank you to @missmu-stp.bsky.social and our Reading Ambassadors for lots of super ideas to help us celebrate our #ReadingSchoolsWeek

We enjoy reading together and are becoming more confident with our sounds and blending 📚📖

P1 are moving on to measure as our new outer numeracy topic! 📏 Today we discussed different things we can measure, including height, length and weight, and when we would use these. We also enjoyed playing a measuring game. 💻🌱

Our Star of the Week is S! ⭐ S has made an excellent effort in his literacy and numeracy this week and is showing fantastic progress. Keep up the great work! 🤩

We have been enjoying sharing our favourite books for Reading Schools Week. 📚📖

We have been practising writing CVC words today through a fun game of pass the parcel! Pupils broke the sounds up, decoded each word, and wrote it on their whiteboards. ✏️📖

Well done to L, our January Head Teacher Award winner, presented at our whole school assembly! 🌟 L always includes others in his play and learning, a fantastic role model. 🤩

📚 Reading Schools Week As part of Reading Schools Week, all children are invited to bring a favourite book from home to share with the class next week. If you wish, you can help your child choose a book to bring in on Monday and ensure it is clearly labelled with their name. Thank you! 📚

Today we explored a story mountain, breaking our story into 5 parts: opening, build-up, problem, resolution and ending. Next, we’ll change the who words (characters) and invent our own stories inspired by The Gingerbread Man! 📖✏️

📝 Homework for the next two weeks is ready and has gone home in everyone’s bag. Thank you for supporting learning at home! 🌟

We came together in groups to practise our Gingerbread Man story, using the actions we created together as a class. 🍪📖

Well done to Z, our Star of the Week, for his excellent effort in numeracy ⭐️ He has made super progress with subtraction and money this week and is a fantastic role model. 💚

Today, our special mission was to select three tricky words and create them using the alphabet cubes! 🔤✨

Just a gentle reminder that children should bring 1 small snack for break time. Thank you for your continued support 😊

We used number lines to practise subtraction ➖. We know to start on the first number in the calculation and jump down the line. The number lines helped us visualise the answers and understand the process better.

Today we worked together using Numicon to practise subtraction ➖. We used the Numicon pegs to take away the holes on the shapes, which helped us visualise the answers and understand the concept better.

P1 worked with Miss MacLeod on a “getting to know you” lesson! 🧩 Each child completed a puzzle piece with their favourite things and information about themselves. We then put them all together to show that we are all one big family. 💚

Well done to R, our Star of the Week! 🌟 R earned this for his excellent effort in numeracy this week, fantastic work!

Lost property in P1, no names. Please check if anything belongs to your child.

We are learning The Gingerbread Man 🍪🦊. We used colourful semantics to read the story and then began creating the first part of our story map 🗺️📖.

Through play and together time, our class is growing as readers 📖 We’re recognising letters, matching sounds and starting to blend them to read simple words.

P1 smashed their gymnastics stations today 💪 Balancing, rolling, jumping and climbing, all while building confidence and listening skills.

We are working on making amounts with coins within 10p. Today, we put set amounts into our piggy banks to practise recognising and counting coins. 🐷💰

Home learning for the next two weeks is in every pupil’s bag. This includes a formation sheet and the term’s home learning grid. If a folder wasn’t returned, a paper copy is in their bag. Please let me know if you need any support. 💚✏️

Well done to O, our Star of the Week! 🌟 O has made a fantastic effort in listening and getting back into our routines this week.

We are exploring coins! 💰 This week, our focus has been on making amounts up to 10p. Today, we played Fastest Finger to identify each coin, lots of fun and learning!

We enjoy having a turn on the Smartboard! Today we practised reading and writing some CVC words, focusing on down and around letters. ✏️☺️

I’ve popped another copy of each child’s Glow login into their bag. This is just to have at home in case it’s ever needed (for example, if school was affected by bad weather). Remote learning takes place on Teams through Glow. 💚✏️

We came into class today and someone had left a mess! 🕵️‍♂️ P1 used the clues to work out who it was: I: “It says run, run!” J: “Was it the abominable snowman?” I: “It smells like ginger!” M: “There’s a red story bag!” In the bag, we found our new Talk 4 Writing text: The Gingerbread Man! 🦊🍪

We have had a change to the specialist timetable. Our PE days are now Tuesday and Thursday. P1N will have PE tomorrow.

PE was a huge hit today! 🧘‍♀️✨ We tried Cosmic Yoga – Sonic Yoga and the children had SO much fun. So many children queued up with paper and pencil for me to write the name so they could try it at home too! I promised I’d share the name on Bluesky 💚
