Elfie has turned out to be a very popular new member of the class! He has however been getting up to all sorts of mischief during his first week in P2…

Whatever will he get up to next!?!…..

We were busy at the end of last week working on the marketing stage of our Reindeer Dust Enterprise.  As a class, we decided on the pricing of our product and how we were going to advertise it. The children worked hard to make some wonderful posters and enjoyed going to talk to the other classes in the school to show off their posters and finished product. We are now all looking forward to the selling stage at the Christmas Concert this week and the Christmas Fayre next Saturday.

Here are some of the children busy at work in their spelling pairs this week. Lots of valuable learning is going on here as the children are using their phonics to read and spell the words with their partner, whilst also developing their co-operative learning skills. It is lovely to see and hear the children supporting and encouraging each other with their learning in such a positive way!    

The children thoroughly enjoyed our mini topic on Superheroes towards the end of last term and we have finally completed our wall display in the classroom. The children were very creative with their Superheroes and we had all sorts of characters from Arrow Man to Sparkle Girl!! Here is a sneak preview but you will be able to see the full display at our Open Afternoon on Wednesday 18th November 3pm – 4pm.

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful October break – it’s hard to believe we are in Term 2 already!! We are looking forward to a busy and exciting term ahead with the children.

Our timetable will continue as follows:

Gym – Tuesday pm (Mrs Brechin) and Friday pm

Library – Wednesday pm

Science – Wednesday pm (Mrs Will)

Gym kits were sent home for washing at the end of term so could we please ask that all kits are brought back to school asap.

For our topic work this term, the children will be learning about how to keep safe. We will be exploring areas such as Road Safety, Stranger Danger, Firework Safety and Keeping Safe at Home. We are also excited about getting involved with the Scottish Book Awards! We will be looking at the 3 nominated books in our age category and voting for our favourite! 

Finally, of course, we will be busy preparing for that very special event which happens in December (It’s too early to mention the ‘C’ word yet!!)

Looking forward to a fun-filled Term ahead!
