After reading Room on the Broom we decided to write our own spells. First of all we had to decide what the spell would make us do, lots of great ideas came from the children like making them fly, turning them invisible and glowing in the dark. Then we decided what ingredients would be needed to make the potion. Again we had some fantastic ideas, such as crushed bones, bat wings, slime, fireflies and blood! Finally, we wrote the instructions which concluded with a magical word. 🧙‍♀️🪄🎃

After writing our potions and spells we read them to the rest of the class and enjoyed carving a pumpkin which had been donated to our class from Abbie in Primary 7 🎃

We recently enjoyed a taster session of Taekwondo with a visiting instructor. We all learned some new skills and had lots of fun while keeping active.

We started off October learning about numbers to 100. We can find the number after and before a given number, we can find the number between two numbers and complete a 100 square jigsaw.

We even enjoyed completing a scavenger hunt outside using numbers up to 100.

In Numeracy we’ve also been learning about symmetry and odd and even numbers.

In Literacy, we have enjoyed reading to each other, learning about proper and common nouns and we’ve just started learning about alphabetical order. Now we know the alphabet we are working on identifying the letter before and after a given letter. We can also put 3 consecutive letters in order.

Finley shared a fantastic book of his titled ‘All About Friends’ which lead to wonderful discussions about what makes a good friend and how to fix things when we fall out. We are all going to work on being a good, kind, caring friend who offers compliments and looks out for each other ❤️ The children had great ideas for qualities they look for in a fantastic friend ❤️

We all enjoying playing outside at Muddy Movers.

I hope you all have a lovely October holiday week and look forward to hearing about all your adventures when we return.

What a lovely start to the year having our Open Afternoon and we loved having so many visitors joining us.

The children decided that they would like to do a mini topic on Julia Donaldson.  We have read, listened to and independently worked on The Snail and the Whale, Paper Dolls, Monkey Puzzle, The Scarecrows Wedding, A Squash and a Squeeze and What the Ladybird hear so far.

After reading Monkey Puzzle we enjoyed playing ‘Who am I?’

Can you guess what animal we would like to be?

Our Scarecrow pictures are work in progress…

We started this term working on throwing and catching and team games at PE.

Just a wee reminder that PE day is on a Monday and Outdoor Learning is on a Wednesday.  Please provide children with a spare pair of clothes, especially socks, on a Wednesday just in case we get wet and muddy.

Thank you,

Mrs Brown
