We have been learning about the Harvest festival. We learned that farmers use scarecrows to scare the birds away from eating their crops. We drew our own scarecrows and painted them nice bright colours.

Joshua said, ‘I liked drawing my scarecrow. I learned that scarecrows help the farmers by scaring the birds away.’

Well done Laura, Isla and Ellie!

The Lollipop Lady came to visit our class. She told us why she has to wear bright colours and why we need to wait till she tell us that it is safe to cross the road.

Mr Hill came into our class to talk to us about how he is able to help us in school. He answered all our questions and we had a shot of talking on his radio.

Eoighan said, ‘I loved when Mr Hill allowed us to talk on his radio’.

Ellie Russell said, ‘I liked when Mr Hill showed us the cameras in the school’.

This week we celebrated Roald Dahl day by reading the, ‘Enormous Crocodile’. We talked about how mean and nasty the crocodile was playing the nasty tricks on the children. We then made posters to warn everyone about the evil crocodile. Mrs Murray thought our posters were amazing. We also drew and painted the crocodile and used lego to make the enormous crocodile.

‘My favourite activity was drawing and painting the crocodile’, said Isla.

‘I liked when the crocodile was tricking the children’, said Kayla.
