Room 15 – Sorry we’re late !
W/B 26.10.26
In literacy we have been working on improving our written sentences. We can recognise fragments and run-ons and know how to add detail and punctuation to make them sentences.
In numeracy we have been consolidating our addition skills using the standard written method.
We had a visit from the Chaplaincy Team on Tuesday morning which was a lot of fun.
Thursday was our PROUD Cloud day, we had so much fun but the day passed far too quickly.
Today we enjoyed seeing everyone’s costumes for Halloween. Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

Primary 2’s Spooktacular Halloween!
👻 A Spooktacular Halloween in Primary 2! 🎃
What a frightfully fun and spooktacular day we have had in Primary 2!
The children all looked absolutely fantastic in their Halloween costumes! A huge thank you to all our Primary 2 parents and carers for the time, effort and creativity that went into helping the children look so fabulous. It was lovely to see so many fantastic outfits!
We had a fang-tastic day immersing ourselves in lots of exciting Halloween-themed activities, with plenty of spooky fun, laughter and creativity along the way!
We also had the chance to show off our amazing costumes AND our brilliant dancing skills at our Halloween parade. The children certainly brought plenty of Halloween spirit to the celebrations! 🕷️🧙♀️
We hope everyone has a spooktacular Halloween filled with lots of treats, fun and happy memories!
🎃 Happy Halloween from everyone in Primary 2! 👻

Halloween Fun in Room 2 :)
Room 2 had a fun-filled day to mark Halloween this weekend.
Everyone came dressed up in their Halloween costumes and party clothes and looked fantastic. Well done everyone for making such a great effort.
This morning we had an extra little fine motor task set up in our tuff tray. We had to use the tweezers to pick out the spiders from the webs. We had very steady hands and managed to reach in and grab all of the sneaky spiders.
We also watched the ‘Room on the Broom’ animation, as this was our story of choice at the library yesterday. It was good to see the words on the page come to life through the animation.
This afternoon, we took part in a parade in the hall with all of our friends in Primary 1. We even had a little time for a dance. Everyone looked great in their costumes. We then came back to class and enjoyed a drink and snack and danced the rest of the afternoon. We played some party games and enjoyed spending time with our friends. We had great fun and I think we are looking forward to our Halloween plans over the weekend.
Just a reminder, on Thursday 5th November, there is a bonfire themed menu for lunch. Could I also ask that any ‘My Child’s Art’ sheets that were sent home last week, be returned to school no later than 4th November. Thank you to those of you who have returned them already. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🙂

Well… I don’t think we’ve stopped all week, we’ve been so busy in room 8! Lots of our activities took on an Autumn/Halloween theme, here’s some of what we got up to!
We took part in a collaborative challenge to plan and create a spider in small groups. The winning group had their spider added to the class spiderweb currently taking over our reading garden arch!
On Friday, we played lots of different Halloween challenges like the ‘Draw on your Head’ challenge, the ‘Mummifying’ challenge and the ‘Left or Right’ listening challenge. Ask your child about the games and don’t forget to ask to see their Draw on Your Head plates in their bags!

What a fun-filled day we have had celebrating Halloween! We have been very busy having lots of spooky fun!
We started with a fantastic Halloween parade in the gym hall, where everyone had the chance to show off their amazing costumes. We saw so many brilliant, spooky and creative outfits! Afterwards, we enjoyed some time dancing and showing off our best moves.
Back in the classroom, the Halloween fun continued as we danced along to some of our favourite Halloween songs. We also enjoyed a snack while watching Room on the Broom!
We also got creative and made some fantastic Halloween pictures using paper plates. We made pumpkins, cats, witches, spiders and monsters. They all looked amazing!
Our P2s had a special activity too! They worked hard making skeletons using paper chains. What a brilliant job they did!
Have a fantastic Halloween weekend, everyone! We look forward to seeing you all next week! 🧡🎃👻

Room 3
What a fantastic week we have had! The children have been busy learning, exploring and having lots of fun.
In phonics, we have been focusing on the sounds ‘p’ and ‘n’, practising how to recognise the sounds, say them clearly and identify words that begin with each sound. The children have been doing a brilliant job!
In maths, we have been exploring numbers up to 10, focusing on finding the number that comes before and after a given number. We have been practising counting forwards and backwards, recognising numbers and developing our number confidence through lots of fun activities.
Of course, the highlight of the week has been our Halloween celebrations! We had a fun filled day with Halloween parties, delicious treats and lots of dancing! The children had so much fun celebrating together, showing off their fantastic costumes and enjoying all the Halloween excitement. There were plenty of smiles, laughter and some brilliant dance moves!
I hope you all have a lovely Halloween!

Room 6 Spooktacular Halloween Party!
We are so excited to tell you all about our Halloween party in class. It was so much fun!
First, we got to dress up in our amazing costumes. We had scary skeletons, spooky ghosts, clever witches, pumpkin monsters, and superheroes! Even our teacher put on a SpongeBob SquarePants outfit.
Then, it was time to play lots of party games! We played Musical Corners.
After the games, we had a Mini Disco right inside our classroom! We turned off the big lights, and played loud music. We danced to Ghostbusters and The Monster Mash. Everyone showed off their best jumpy dance moves!
Our favourite part was dancing together and having fun with all our friends.
It was the best Halloween party ever!
Room 6 🎃👻
