P1M have been learning to identify 2D shapes from their properties.  We worked with a partner to make some 2D shapes using different materials and then we checked we had been successful by counting the sides and corners.

P7H accompanied Primary 1 to Grant Park to assist them with their learning context ‘Swings and Roundabouts’.  Both classes are studying forces, so this was an ideal opportunity for the P7s to help the P1s understand the forces push and pull as well as think about their own gravity, friction and air resistance studies.  The children were split in to three groups – forces at work in the play park, gravity experiments at the chestnut tree and a game of tug of war on the grass to investigate friction.  Great fun was had by all!

What a fantastic time everyone had at the Disco’s this evening. Everyone was in the mood for dancing and the beats didn’t stop.

The costumes were amazing and it was extremely difficult to choose a winner. Eventually decisions were made – Miley McKail at the P1-3 and Cerys Farquhar-Watt at the P4-7.

A big thank you to the PTA for organising the disco and to all the parents and teachers who helped on the night. The night wouldn’t have been a success if it wasn’t for DJ Mrs McIntosh who kept the decks spinning.

Even though autumn is finally here, the weather is colder and it’s getting dark earlier Gardening Club children are still being kept busy. They are now preparing for the Christmas Fair making pom pom puddings and this year’s exclusive brooch! Come along to our stall on December 10th to see what other exciting crafts we have for sale!

We have been out exploring the changing of the seasons and looking for signs of Autumn.  We had great fun playing in the crunchy leaves and throwing and kicking them high in the air.  We used our experience outside for ideas for an Autumn poem and an Autumn story.

There are some exciting spooky events happening at the Community Café at Forres House Community Centre at the end of the week. This Friday 28^th October, there will be pumpkin carving for ages 5-11 (bring a grown-up if you wish) at 4pm. On Saturday 29^th October at 1pm, there will be a fancy dress competition (age 5-11) with a spooky prize for the best dressed witch or wizard!

In P1 we have lots of fun playing with our friends and learning about the world around us.  Here are some snapshots of us busy at play!

Here we are on the last day of term, dressed up to support the Farm Africa charity.

P4 FL enjoyed a visit from Ayan’s mum and dad who talked about what it was like to be a Muslim in Forres.
