Primary One have worked their socks off this week learning the new sounds “v, y, and w”
Building words using magnetic boards, whiteboard practice and rainbow writing. They have learned the actions for these sounds – can they remember at home? 🏡
They have also been working on their Tricky words! Great job Primary One ⭐️
The Primary 3 team would like to thank everyone who joined us yesterday for our Meet the Teacher session. It was lovely to put a face to the name and match up children with their parents! We hope you found the session helpful.
For anyone who did not manage to make it along, please let us know and we can share our Powerpoint with you.
Enjoy the September weekend break when it comes ☀️

After learning about ‘Day of the Dead’ celebrated in Mexico 🇲🇽, the children had the best fun getting creative to design these calaveras (skulls) 💀 We learnt that on November 2nd, loved ones who have died have their lives celebrated by making these colourful skeletons and skulls. The children really enjoyed this Art activity ❤️
The children in P3B have been busy this week learning about the pyramids in Egypt. They have been fascinated by their size! The children built a paper 3B pyramid, and in groups used sugar cubes, Lego and construction blocks to build pyramid structures.
They learned that all pyramids must start with a square base and that there are over 130 pyramids in Egypt 🇪🇬.
After researching in pairs, the children found out that it took thousands of men to build a pyramid, and inside they are full of secret tunnels, passages and chambers. They were built for the Pharaohs and contain treasure inside.
The children recorded their findings on a pyramid fact file. It has been a very interesting topic for the children ❤️
