TRANSCRIPT
The rest of this term we will be focusing on:
Shape: Identifying 2D and 3D shapes, using the shapes to create structures and pictures. WE will be going on a shape hunt in our playground to find these shapes.
Hanukah: Our RME focus this term will be about the Jewish celebration of Hanukah. WE will look at how Jewish people celebrate and compare to the Christian festival of Christmas.
Our next Curiosity Case will feature objects of the past. Some children have shown an interest in old schools so we will be learning more about them and how they are different from schools today.
As Christmas approaches we will be using our art skills to print our very own Christmas paper and mould clay into a decoration.
Our school values are: SAFE, READY, RESPECTED.
For those who have gone over and above throughout the week are rewarded with a certificate given by a member of management and a delicious treat of a hot chocolate and cake.
We also have over and above certificates which can be given out by any member within the school. This is for anyone who is demonstrating our school values consistently.
Within our class we have a recognition board which our learning can get on by achieving the positive expectation. We have been focusing on using a quiet voice within the classroom.
Primary 1/2 and Primary 2 have been learning to retell the story of ‘ The Little Red Hen’. All the pupils can retell the story from memory using actions to help. Please as your child to retell you the story.
We completed our 100 laps of our playground run as part of our fundraiser efforts. Thank you to all those who donated.
Our learners have been very curious this term and have been exploring our curiosity case. We decided as a class that we wanted to make moving toys. We have learned how to join materials together using special junk modelling techniques.
Our art skill we have been developing this term has been printing. The boys and girls have enjoyed using a range of items such as leaves, Styrofoam, fruit and metal loose parts to create a variety of shapes and patterns.

Health and Wellbeing:
This term we have been introducing the learning jungle. The animals in the learning jungle have special powers that help us learn such as resilience, curiosity, self- improve and concentrate. Through stories and activities the children have been gaining these powers.
Our building resilience focus this term has been ‘‘Be Kind to Others’. We have been enjoying the virtual assemblies where we have been able to see the rest of the school. We have been thinking about being bucket fillers, which involves being kind to others and making them through great through their actions.
During PE this term we have been focusing on developing co-ordination and fitness skills.
