* There is an opportunity for parents to visit their children’s class on Tuesday 22nd November from 2.45pm to see a piece of writing.

* Friday 18th November is ‘Dress as a Book Character’ day.

We made Breakfast Muffins. They were delicious.

We had fun. We did tree rubbing. We are going to use the tree rubbings to make a big tree in our class.

We made flapjacks with golden syrup and they were delicious! We made it with oats too. We made it with sugar and it was brown sugar. That’s all.

We also found out about the Great Fire of London. I got a genius giraffe because I remembered it started in Pudding Lane and James S  got one because he remembered the man who wrote about it was called Samuel Peyps.

We went to the shops yesterday and got strawberry laces to make spider biscuits. They tasted delicious!

We went to the woods and we got conkers. We are going to play a game.

We continued our fraction work by making homemade pizzas and dividing them up.

We also created our early Christmas Cards

( How many sleeps till Santa comes?)

Today we looked at trees in the local area and made our own by tearing tissue paper. Tomorrow we will add the leaves.

We collected natural objects to use when making autumn pictures. Don’t worry, we released the ladybird!

We are lucky to have Sammy from Forth Valley College helping us in Primary 1. Today she read us 2 stories, one called Tooth Fairy and the other Mabel and Max. We all listened hard.

We went to the local shop and bought some things to make sandwiches. We cut them into quarters to help us understand fractions. Half of the class understood it right away, but don’t worry, the other half got it eventually!

On Monday we took lots of physical equipment outside. We played jolly hockey sticks, skipping and some mini-tennis.

Today we went outside to look at the wind turbine and the solar panels. We are going to record how much energy they both produce for the school. We also learned about fractions. We used Oliver’s jammie dodgers. We cut them into two equal halves and enjoyed eating them. Tomorrow we are going to make our own sandwiches and cut them into quarters.
