HOUSE POINTS – TERM 1 WINNERS
We are delighted to announce that Ben More were our winning house in Term 1 and have earned themselves a super house prize. They achieved this by working together to earn the most house points across Term 1. On Friday 15th November, from 1.30-2.30pm, all children in Ben More will be involved in an afternoon of exciting outdoor activities hosted by the wonderful Donald from Wildside Nature. The afternoon will include the toasting of marshmallows, funs games and hot chocolate. Each child can bring one adult family member along with them to share in this experience. We kindly ask that children come to school dressed for outdoor learning on this day. Given the unpredictable Scottish weather we advise that a waterproof jacket, appropriate outdoor shoes, a hat and gloves are worn. Well done Ben More. We look forward to celebrating with you soon!

P5a – Wildside nature session
P5a had a great time outside today with Donald from Wildside Nature. We were learning all about the spooky Halloween animals. We learned all about bats and how they use echo-location, through a fun game. We learned about owls as predators hunting for mice and we learned all about the different parts of spiders through a fun dance!
P5a weekly update
P5a have been learning addition and subtraction strategies and they are really good at it. They were also learning about comfortable and uncomfortable emotions in PATHS and learning about the control signals to help us calm down. They started learning about the solar system and they were learning about Diwali and Rama and Sita in RME. Also they were learning about creating descriptive settings in writing. They also did some drama this week, and that’s all they did this week and they are so good at everything! What super stars!⭐️

P5a end of term 1
Lots of great exploration in creative enquiry this week, all about ‘changes’. We have also worked hard on our persuasive writing, we used our iPads for editing. We created some fantastic iMovie trailers to advertise our class novel; Charlottes Web. We rounded off our Romans topic this week with a taster of some Roman style nibbles. It was good fun!
Have a great October week holiday!
