Greetings everyone!
It has been another busy week here in P1M. Miss Wilson has begun her third week with us and has been super – taking lots of learning experiences and activities with the boys and girls.
On Monday we saw Robbie become our ‘star of the week’ for always listening and following instructions – Well done Robbie! As well as this super news we were also chosen as star class in assembly 🙂 As a result we get to have the lovely shiny trophy in our classroom for a whole week!
Tuesday was a very busy day. Miss Wilson taught us a little bit about the Hindu festival ‘Diwali’. We heard a story about Rama and Sita and then we made masks and acted the story out.
Mrs MacKinnon filmed each part of the story and showed it to us in the class. It was really funny seeing ourselves on camera!
On Tuesday afternoon we had our second visit to the forest. The sun shone for us this week which made building homes for hedgehogs a great experience. We made sure the hedgehogs had a cosy home full of leaves, moss, ferns and even a few sticks. Some of us ended up making hedgehog penthouses complete with garage and swimming pool!!
On Wednesday morning we got some new fine motor jobs. Our favourite one was feeding the tennis ball monsters pom poms!!
Keeping in the theme of Diwali, Miss Wilson made ‘Diya lamps’ with this morning. We warmed up a ball of clay in our hands and then shaped it into a bowl shape. Some of us chose rain drop shapes, diamond shapes or round shapes. Next we used clay tools to make patterns in our Diya lamps. 
*Important Information*
In service day is Friday 16th November. School will be closed to all pupils – enjoy!
Have a lovely long weekend everyone and we look forward to seeing you bright eyed and bushy tailed after three days off 🙂
Mrs MacKinnon and Mrs Moir
