There was great excitement in Room 3 yesterday as we were planting sunflower seeds. We also wrote instructions on how to plant a sunflower.
We are going to take good care of our sunflower plants. We can’t wait to come back next week and check to see if there are any changes. I wonder which sunflower will grow the tallest!
We were all very sad to say Goodbye to Mrs Fyfe at the end of term. We have all loved working with Mrs Fyfe in Primary 2 this year and we wish her lots of luck in her new teaching role. We are sure she will keep in touch and pop back to see us at some point.
We are now looking forward to welcoming Mrs Douglas into P2 for our final term. Mrs Douglas will be in class on a Monday, Tuesday and alternate Fridays. We also welcome back Miss Blair for the first 4 weeks of term. We are all looking forward to a busy and exciting term ahead in Room 3!
We had lots of fun during the final week of last term exploring 2D and 3D shapes through a variety of different activities. We worked cooperatively in pairs and small groups to sort and identify shapes, make models and describe some basic properties of shapes. Our feely bag activity was a top favourite and we loved creating our 2D Shape Monsters!
Room 3 was bursting with creativity this afternoon as the boys and girls took part in our Egg Decorating Design Task. It was great to see everyone hard at work and using their imagination to produce some wonderful creations! We had everything from Princesses to Tarantulas!!
Mrs Brechin had the difficult job of judging the competition and choosing a winning egg. It was so tough that Mrs Brechin decided on a few Runners Up too!
Here are our Runners Up with their fabulous designs – Cinderella, Spotty the Alien and King of the Universe!
And finally our very proud winner with his amazing (and slightly scary!!) creation – Tommy the Tarantula!
Just a reminder that the whole school will be going up to the church on Monday morning for our Easter Service. The children may wish to bring along a donation for the church collection.
We would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter! Hope the Easter Bunny brings lots of eggs!!
We had a fantastic morning at Tesco, learning all about where our food comes from! We enjoyed exploring the bakery and visiting some of the different food counters in the store. Some of us even got to go inside the huge freezer!! (I wonder if you can spot the photograph?!?) Much to our delight, there was lots of food tasting on the way round too!!

Just a reminder that Abbotswell School will be taking part in fundraising efforts this week for Sport Relief 2016. We would like to invite the children to come along to school on Friday dressed in their sports gear and we ask that they bring a £1 donation with them on the day. Hopefully we can raise lots of money for a very worthy cause!

What a fabulous time we all had celebrating World Book Day yesterday – both the children and the staff had a ball!! It was lovely to see the children dressed up in their wonderful book character costumes….we had everything from Princesses to Robots!
We had a fun filled morning with our P6 Reading Buddies taking part in a whole variety of literacy activities. Here are some pictures to show a few of the things we got up to…
In the afternoon we had a whole school Character Fashion Parade to show off all the wonderful costumes and choose the best dressed character from each class (a very tricky task!!) Congratulations to Ryan on winning the prize for our class with his super Robot costume from the book Robot Rumpus.
