Well, we've reached the end of another busy term in P1/2R!

Wishing everyone a fantastic break and a wonderful Christmas!

See you all in 2018!

Bookbug Visit

We recently had a visit from Sally of Orkney Library and Archive, who visited in conjunction with the gifting of a Bookbug family bag to each P1 pupil.  Our P2s received their 'Read, Write, Count' bags, so all children went home with a goodie bag to keep, full of lots of exciting activities!

Sally read 'Gorilla loves Vanilla' (our favourite book!), and played some games with us - we all had a lot of fun!

Term 2 Topic

This term, we have been investigating "Local shops, the world of work and people who help us".  As well as our class learning, we have been lucky enough to have some visitors come to Glaintess to share their important jobs with us.

Jack's Dad came to visit and discuss his important role as an airport fire fighter.

Joan, our School Crossing Patrol Officer, popped in to tell us about her role in helping with road safety on our walk to school.  We also got to have a shot of the School Crossing Sign - it was tall and quite heavy!

Thanks to Greig and Joan for taking the time to come in and visit P1/2R, it was appreciated!  Look out other visitors coming soon! 😊

Shared Reading

Some of the children from Class 6/7 came down to do shared reading today with some of our Primary Twos. They read and discussed the Oxford Reading Tree stories and also had time for a game of BOO! We really enjoyed sharing our books with the older children and hope to arrange to do this on a more regular basis.
