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 P1/2 We enjoyed sampling some of autumns most popular foods. The children discussed harvest and tasted some lovely red apples, juicy green pears and a delicious pumpkin.

We held a vote and decided that the apples were by far the tastiest!

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.

We continue to develop our brick skills in class. The children are using different materials to construct their buildings. This week we have been playing with tigers and other wild animals and this has influenced some of our creations too. Have a look! 

This week we have been busy in P1/2….…exploring the book “The Tiger Who Came To Tea” by Judith Kerr.

The children all thought long and hard about why a tiger might want to come for tea and come up with some brilliant suggestions.

We have used our writing and drawing skills to produce shopping lists for Sophie and her Mum to replace all the food the tiger ate and also wrote thank you speech bubbles from the tiger.

The children loved making tigers during craft time. Have a look at our fabulous work! 

All the children have settled into primary 1/2 brilliantly. They have really enjoyed getting to know their new classmates and becoming acquainted with their new classroom. We’ve also had loads of learning opportunities outdoors – have a look at some of our fabulous photos!
