Halloween 🎃👻

Room 3 have had lots of Halloween fun this week. Those who attended enjoyed the Halloween disco on Monday and had a great time dressing up or down for school yesterday. We had a day full of loads of Halloween-themed activities, such as colouring, pumpkin art and an afternoon party. We also enjoyed sharing our jokes with the rest of the class which we used during our Trick or Treating.

Below are some pictures of our super pumpkin art. We are very proud of how they turned out!

Halloween in Room 6

This week in room 6 we consolidated our learning with the ‘ow’, ‘ea’ and ‘oy’ phonemes, played football games in P.E and focused on using a ruler and measuring in centimetres in numeracy. We also created really fun water colour Halloween Art with Miss Riley on Wednesday. On Thursday we joined in the BBC Authors Live with Dapo Adeola, and had fun in the draw along, then ended the day with a Halloween Party with Room 4 and Room 5. We also learned to sing Frère Jacques in French! It has been such a fun week. It was lovely to see all of your costumes this week at the Halloween Disco and in class on Thursday, you all looked fantastic! 

We hope you all have a relaxing weekend. Just a reminder that this week is Bug Club books for reading homework for everyone, the log ins are at the front of their homework jotters!

Halloween Fun in Room 2!

Room 2 celebrated all things Halloween on Thursday. The children came to school dressed up in fantastic Halloween themed costumes and outfits. They all looked amazing! We had a little parade to music in our classroom to show our outfits off to our friends.

We then created little hanging pumpkins that we could pop in our windows for all the trick or treat people to see. Some of us added googly eyes to make them more fun.

In the afternoon, we had a Halloween celebration in the hall with Rooms 1 and 3. We danced with our friends and teachers and played games like corners and musical statues. We finished off our party with a little sweet treat. Just before home, we enjoyed watching the ‘Room on the Broom’ animation, as we had only read the book last week in class. It featured lots of rhyming words and we could hear them whilst watching.

Home learning packs have been sent home today so please check school bags. If you have any queries or concerns, please do get in touch. Primary 1 Evening Times class photographs will be featured between Nov 4th-8th. Keep an eye out for our smiles in the newspaper! 🙂

Room 20 Update

We’ve had a really busy week in Room 20 again.

Writing

We finished our current block of Narrative Writing this week with a spooky story about a Haunted Building.  We were focussing on creating a detailed description of setting.  We learned about different descriptive techniques including powerful verbs to describe the characters reactions, alliteration, personification and using descriptive adjectives.  We were really pleased with how well our stories turned out this week.

Hallowe’en Party

We had a spooky fun time at our Hallowe’en party on Thursday afternoon.  There were super costumes including Alvin and the Chipmunks, Slim Shady, Sully from Monsters Inc, Skeletons, Captain Underpants and spooky ghosts.  Mr. JC looked the part as Where’s Wally, but it was quite easy to spot him!

We played some party games including musical chairs, musical bumps and pass the parcel.  We chose some of our favourite music to make a playlist and had lots of fun dancing and singing.

Scotland Work

We continued to work on our History of Scotland topic and finished the timeline.  This is now up on display in our classroom and includes lots of details about key events in Scotland’s past.

Adobe Express

The highlight of our week was learning how to use a new programme on our Chromebooks called Adobe Express.  Everyone is getting this for free in their Glow accounts.

It is a programme that helps us to make videos and graphics.  We followed a tutorial online to make a video all about recycling.  We learned how to include video backgrounds, record voice overs, insert transitions, animate and how to include backing music.

We’ve started to make a second one all about Scotland that we will be sharing at assembly in a few weeks.

Have a look at an example of one of the videos we made.  We think you’ll be very impressed at how professional it is.

The other boys and girls have theirs saved in their Google Drive and will be able to show you at home.

Room 26’s Blog

Welcome to room 26’s blog. We hope you enjoy reading our blog.

In PE this week we have been learning about different types of jumps. Here are some that we know. Straddle jump, pencil jump, scissor jump and more  we all got to experience all of the different jumps. It was our first time doing gymnastics.

For art we have been learning about pointillism. That is an art that uses dots to join up and make an image. For example a heart you would use small red dots in a heart shape so close together it would be like it was a real drawing.

For literacy we have been doing a main theme. Which you need to write a bubble around what you think the book was about. In this case I put an adventure for myself, it was on Kensuke’s Kingdom.

We hope you enjoyed reading our blog come back for an even better one next week.

Saad, Macie and Jamie.

Our Week in Room 27

We started to learn our new phoneme ‘sh’ and the representations ‘ch’ and ‘ti’. There were some tricky words in these lists!

In Maths, we have been practising addition with carrying using the written method. We have been working on measure and had fun using the trundle wheels, metre sticks and measuring tapes to measure the length of different items in our classroom. We have also been practising our times tables.

We created skeletons with Miss O’Brien and have also done some spooky art to celebrate Halloween. We had a great time at our party on Thursday afternoon. Miss Higgins and Miss Macfarlane were very impressed by our costumes and outfits and especially our dance moves!

“I enjoyed the Halloween party on Thursday.” SM

“I liked having the extra playtime for being the best line.” AW

“I enjoyed reading “The Butterfly Lion'” AR

Thank you for reading our blog.
