The “Potion Shop” is open for business. Last week, the children were counting sleeps to Hallowe’en . They were so excited. They asked for “ Hallowe’en” activities in class. The one big thing the children wanted was somewhere to “ cast spells and make potions.”
Hey Presto! The Potion Shop was open!
During our Literacy time today, we practised our letter formation. It is important when writing different letters to start these at the correct place. Our work was very neat! 
We have come such a long way in P1.3 and we have only been here for 10 weeks! We were talking to the children about all the different things we have learned and they started to suggest more. We also looked at our blog to remember things we had forgotten. We made a big list then Mrs Arbuckle put it onto a “ map”. We were amazed…. and we are still learning!😁😁🎓
We had fun in the mud kitchen in the Nursery playground. Lots of people made Mrs Arbuckle some delicious “food”. Some people made potions and cast spells. Some people chose to sit down at the table and make and “eat” their food. Delicious! 😁🍽
It was lovely to see so many children with hallowe’en hair today. The children joined the parade in the Street. Dylan R won the prize for best Primary 1 and earned 200 points for Poplar.
We welcome Mrs Miller to P1.3. She will be working with us for the next few weeks. Mrs Miller is a secondary school teacher and is training to be a primary teacher. She has been a great help in our class.
For the next few Mondays, we will be learning Judo with Jack. He is really good and was demonstrating different moves to us and we got to try. We will need to have our gym kit on and when we get to the gym hall, we take off our socks and shoes to go onto the judo mats. It was great fun.
It was a glorious day to go out and do leaf rubbings. We ran around the playground to gather our leaves and used wax crayon and paper to rub the leaves. We did some beautiful rubbings.
Our provocation this week was to see how many pennies we could place on the lemons without them rolling off. It was quite tricky, but a lot of fun and discussion was had. Provocation makes us curious and we want to try things out.
We have been building with our 3D shapes. We have looked at cubes, cuboids, pyramids and spheres. We can use our imaginations to build.
