We hope all the boys and girls enjoyed a super first few days back in term 2!

We learnt the sound ‘h’ and so we got to make our very own ‘hats’ ! h for hat.  Here we are with our fabulous hats on –

At the end of the week we were very lucky and played some Halloween games with Mrs Moir.  We had a go of ”dookin’ for apples’ (apple bobbing).  It was quite tricky but so much fun.  We had to kneel on a chair with our hands behind our backs and a fork in our mouths.  Then we had to drop the fork and try and stab an apple!  We had to concentrate really hard.

We are now entering our second week with Miss Wilson and she has been taking some lessons this week as well.  On Monday we learnt the sound ‘f’.  We worked out that fireworks start with ‘f’ and so Miss Wilson helped us make a firework picture.  Aren’t they fantastic?

If you look very carefully in our classroom at parents evening you might spot them!

In one of our maths sessions this week we learnt all about seasons and what different things happen in each of the four seasons.  We were able to tell Miss Wilson that we are currently in Autumn.  We know this because the leaves are changing colour and falling off the trees.

On Tuesday afternoon we had our first trip to the forest!  We wrapped up warm in our waterproofs and woollies (thank you and well done everyone for bringing appropriate clothing!) and set off out to the forest.  When we arrived we played ‘1,2,3 where are you?’ which is a bit like hide and seek.  We were so good at finding the boys and girls in P1/2 and we thought hiding was great fun!  Can you see us hiding?

Our main activity whilst we were in the forest was building our own team bonfires!  We had to collect lots of twigs and sticks to go on the bottom and then we filled the top with autumn leaves.  The leaves were the perfect colour to be our fire.

 

We very much look forward to our next visit to the forest.
