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.

Good afternoon everyone,
This week in class two, it has been filled with fun and excitement about the coming festivities. As the advent calendar ticks closer to Christmas Eve, the anticipation can almost be tasted!
In English this week, we have looked at a short film about Mog's Christmas Calamity by Judith Kerr. The class made amazing predictions about what was coming up in the story and loved watching the short clip. They also produced a lovely description of Mog herself!
During maths, the class have been using their addition and subtraction knowledge to work out clues to Christmas riddles and colour-by-number puzzles.
We had our lovely performance and the class were absolutely amazing! In other news, we have been working on our sewing skills as part of our design technology curriculum and the class put together their own glove puppets.We have enjoyed our class Christmas party too.
Thanks and have a good break over Christmas.

Good afternoon all,
Another week has passed and we are getting very close to Christmas now. During our guided reading sessions, the class have read the story 'Mog's Christmas Calamity'. This is a great Christmas book with a lovely message about community and being caring. It was a pleasure to listen to them reading it aloud.
We have had a very sucessful dress rehearsal today and the class were amazing. They have done themselves proud and I can't wait for them to perform to you all next week.
Thanks everyone, have a good weekend!
Mr. H.
