P1 made firework paintings this week and enjoyed lovely sunshine with games outside with Ricky! We played follow my leader, duck duck goose and team games. 

P2 had a fantastic time doing an Autumn Scavenger Hunt at Murieston Park this week. We searched for lots of autumn objects with a partner then had some fun playing the the park and doing some outdoor gym games to keep us warm. What a great morning! 😊

We celebrated all things Halloween this week in P1/2. The children read Funnybones and made their own skeletons.

The P2 children also wrote brilliant book reviews. 

We then had a go at pumpkin carving. The children all designed pumpkin faces and we then selected the winning designs.  Mrs Innes carved them perfectly. We are going to use the seeds to try to plant put own pumpkins for next year! 

As a treat, we decided to make some delicious chocolate apples. The children really enjoyed covering the apples with  chocolate and covering them with sprinkles.  It’s been a great week! 

In class last week, P2 used different objects to create symmetrical pictures. We used numicon, floor tiles and small shapes to practise our skills as well as creating our own ‘butterflies’- an example of symmetry in the natural world. 🦋 Symmetry is all around us and we will explore this in the coming weeks.
