During our topic this week we have been learning about our senses.  We discovered how our five senses help us to understand the world around us.  We also discovered that the nerves in our bodies send messages to our brain.  Did you know that we actually see things upside down.  Our very clever brains turns the picture around.  We thought this was very funny.

On Friday we went for a little sensory walk but we will be going back outside next week to investigate our playground further using our senses.

Our bread experiment (see previous posts) is showing us how important it is to was your hands with soap and water.  It’s the only slice of bread which has not turned green!!  The children are being encouraged to wash their hands regularly for 20 seconds throughout the day.

During maths this week we have been gathering information and using different ways to organise the information.  We have been making lists, using tally marks and making pictograms.  Linking to our topic, we carried out a survey to find out information about the colour of our eyes.  The most popular colour in P/2G is blue.

We will be visiting the book fair on Monday.  If you would like your child to buy a book, please put the money in an envelope with your child’s name, the name of the book (if known) and the correct money if possible.

And finally for this week, P1/2G are famous!  We made the front page (and page 2!) of the Alloa Advertiser.  You will be able to see photos from our visit to Alloa Library.

Have a lovely, healthy weekend.
