MONDAY 14th NOVEMBER 2011 WE HAVE 5000 FOLLOWERS TODAY! Thank you to everyone who follows us and leaves us clever comments, we love reading them. 

What a fun and busy time we have been having in Primary 1.  We have been learning all about money this week and set up a Gruffalo food shop.  We take it in turns to be the shopkeeper and the customers.

We have also been reading detectives this week looking for words in the Gruffalo story.  We used different coloured pencils to show all the words we found.  We then showed our learning partner.  It was fun and we are all super detectives.

We have been enjoying all our learning around the story of The Gruffalo and this week we made models of the characters from the story.  We are going to use the characters to make a film which we are all very excited about.  We are sure you will agree that our models are fantastic.

After all of our Halloween fun last week we were left with some pumpkins and we used them to become Super Scientists! We got a pumpkin and investigated what it looked like, felt like and smelt like. Then we cut it open to see what was inside… we were surprised by how many seeds we found. Next we carried out an experiement to see what would happen if we left our pumpkin out in the air but you will have to check out our blog on Monday to find out what our experiment taught us!

 

Our pumkin has gone all fury. We felt it and it felt very different and much more squishy. We all took turns to smell it and we didnt like the way it smelt either. We can now tell you what happens if you dont keep fruit or vegetables cool and dry.

Well done to Rory, Saul and Aiden who worked so well as a team to complete a VERY tricky crocodile puzzle! It was so good that we have stuck it together and put it on the wall.
