P1s have been working hard this week writing numbers and practising letter formation on whiteboards.
We always have fun on a Wednesday when Ricky comes to teach us different games. This week we were outside and inside playing games!
Primary 4B had a fun time at Murieston Park with Ricky our Active School coordinator.
We have started to learn our initial sounds and have enjoyed discovering new ways to work on our motor skills, which will help us for our letters correctly. Some children are beginning to blend these sounds and read and create words all by themselves!
P1/2 have been learning all about repeated patterns in class. We had a go at making our own. We are really good at making sure we follow the colour patterns we create.

P1 read the story, ‘ Silly Billy,’ we discussed things we worry about and made worry dolls to share our worries with. The children worked very hard using lots of different colours and we talked about ways that help us stop worrying.
Autumn days outdoors, having fun learning all the time!
