P1F
The boys and girls in P1-F enjoyed engaging in Hallowe’en activities throughout the week.
They investigated pumpkins to help write a report. The boys and girls identified and named key parts and described the pumpkin.
This week we started ‘Buddy Writing’. Each child has a P6/7 buddy who will help them talk about, think about and self-assess their piece of writing.
“I liked carving the pumpkins and taking the seeds out.” – Sam
“The pumpkin gunk didn’t feel nice!” – Harry

P5
We got creative and very active with hoops in P.E this week. We moved around the space using the hoop in lots of ways, using different parts of the body to control our hoops.
Lots of P5 enjoyed dressing up for Hallowe’en and went into a lot of effort with their costumes. Well done P5!
Rhys – “I pushed the hoop and made it come back.’’
Xena – “I swirled the hoop around my arm.’’
Tyler – “I used lots of fun paint for my zombie outfit.’’
Reminders
Please make sure your child has suitable shoes for in school and for P.E on Monday and Thursday. Thank You!

This week we visited the Galloway Hoard in Kirkcudbright Art Gallery. There were lots of ancient artefacts and we played lots of fun games. Molly said, “I really enjoyed the hoard; my favourite thing was the golden bird pin.” There were lots of silver armbands and there was a vessel that was filled with lots of valuable artefacts.
In PE this week we have been learning how to do the Dashing White Sergeant, which is a Scottish country dance. Everybody enjoyed it. “I thought it was very good because I have never done Scottish country dancing.” –Sunny. “I loved the dancing and liked how we learned a new dance.”- Reagan W.
Lots of the class dressed up for Hallowe’en and we all played fun games and we got to decorate a skull for Day of the Dead. Alexander said, “I really enjoyed dressing up”.
