We had a fantastic day in Room 6. It was great learning about some traditions in Scotland that have been lost or forgotten about. Room 6 have now decided to say “Guising” instead of Trick or Treat. We all did well making our Halloween puppets and Mr Allen said we are all getting better at using scissors to cut things out. In the afternoon we we had a Halloween Party in the class and we also did a costume parade with Room 5. Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

– revising all the sounds we have learnt so far. There are: a, t, s, i, p and n
– writing about our fabulous Halloween costumes
– learning how to perform a bounce pass in P.E.

Bonnie won a book from the Book Vending machine as she was Room 1’s October Star Writer.
We had lots of fun celebrating Halloween this week. Enjoy trick or treating! I think there will be lots of tired P1s this weekend 🤣

What a wonderful week we’ve had in Room 3!
In maths, we’ve been learning how to write number sentences for addition, using cubes and number lines to help us understand how numbers work together. The children have been doing a fantastic job using these tools to solve problems and explain their thinking.
In literacy, we’ve been revising the six sounds we’ve learned so far in Primary 1. This has helped everyone become more confident in recognising and using these sounds in different words.
To round off the week, we enjoyed lots of Halloween fun! The class loved taking part in Halloween dances, a parade, and a party with the other Primary 1 classes. We also had great fun designing our own pumpkins, using our creativity and imagination!
Just a little reminder — please could all homework jotters and folders be placed in school bags on a Tuesday or Wednesday each week. This allows time for new homework to be glued and put into homework folders. Additionally, the parent council Christmas art must be brought back to school by the 5th of November.
Wishing you all a fantastic time celebrating Halloween and a lovely weekend!

This week for Halloween we made some paper mache halloween lanterns.
‘We made faces for the lanterns’ DW
‘We made them out of toilet roll so they would be thin enough to light up!’ RC
‘It was very hard!’ EM
‘The glue was so sticky and it was really annoying because we didn’t want the toilet paper to rip’ OC
‘I thought it was fun’ AT
‘We used a balloon and stuck toilet paper to it’ NM
‘When we popped our balloons today, we hoped that they wouldn’t collapse!’ AW
We have also started learning how to play tennis in PE. WE have started off just using the tennis balls without the rackets to work on our hand eye coordination. The children are really enjoying the challenge!
Hope everyone has a great Halloween and don’t eat too many sweeties!

This week in Room 18 we have been:
• Learning how to round 3, 4 and 5 digit numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000!
• We have come to the end of our Place Value topic in maths and had great fun playing some consolidation games (see pictures).
• We started a Rugby block in PE on Friday and Mrs Hutton has been able to get us a space in the pitches rather than the muga which everyone is so excited about.
• We are nearly at the end of the Wild Robot novel – we can’t wait to see how it ends next week and are looking forward to comparing the book to the movie.

This week in room 23 we have been doing morning club and in maths, we have been focusing on multiplication with decimal numbers.
For PE we played cops and robbers. Every Tuesday Miss Kerr comes in and does music. People like the song Jai Ho. We did wordle boys vs girls and the girls won. We watch newsround every day and today we did the quiz of the week and got 3 out of 5 questions correct (we are kinda bad). We did spelling and dictation, some of our words this week start with multi and some end with ness and the other group’s words end with ock.The weather has been bad so we have been getting indoor break times and lunch times thanks for reading this.
