P1/2 found a dead butterfly in our class. We used the internet to find out what type of butterfly it was. We discovered that it was called a small tortoiseshell and that it was a girl.
Our Rhyming Morning
All the boys and girls in nursery, P1/2 and P2/3 came to school today dressed up as their favourite nursery rhyme character. There were lots of wee willie winkies, a little pig, Miss Polly and her doctor and even an old woman tossed up in a basket!
Mummys and daddies and grannies came and worked with us on lots of fun activities.
In the hall we played drama games to do with nursery rhymes.
In the nursery we played games to do with rhymes.
In P1/2 we made rhyming hats.

Applying for jobs in P1/2
All the boys and girls in P1/2 have been busy applying for jobs in the Port Ellen Circus. Job vacancies in the circus include clowns, acrobats, jugglers, tight rope walkers and a ringmaster.We had to pick which job we wanted to apply for and then we had to fill in an application for saying why we think we would be good at this job.
Ruaraidh applied to be an acrobat because he is good at hula hooping.
Ronan applied to be a clown because he thinks he is funny.
Finlay applied to be a ring master because he has a big loud voice.
We have to wait to see if we get a job interview – fingers crossed!
