It has been a really busy first week of the new term for P5/4.  We have been learning about estimating and rounding in maths and have enjoyed music, drama and ICT this week too.  We wrote a recount of our October holiday and Mrs MacDonald really enjoyed reading about all the fun things we got up to.  In Spanish, we learned how to say, “How old are you?” and “I am __ years old”.

In PE, the primary fours learned how to dribble a basketball and how to shoot a basket, while the primary fives added some ‘tutting’ to our dance routine, and practised the back stroke,  breast stroke and jumping in.  We were able to choose whether we wanted to jump in at the shallow end or the deep end of the pool.  Mrs MacDonald is so pleased with the progress we are making with our swimming.  We are all so confident now and many of us can do things that we never thought we would be able to do.  She is extremely proud of all of us.

Thursday afternoon was our class reward for earning 50 tokens for showing positive behaviour and following the school rules, using nice manners, lining up sensibly in the playground and showing kindness to others.  We were allowed to wear our onesies and watched “Robinson Crusoe”.  It was fab! We had popcorn and Mrs MacDonald made us the best hot chocolate ever.

Friday was our Hallowe’en Parade in school.  We all dressed up and walked around the school.  It was great to see all the different costumes.  The winners in our class were Snow White in 1st place and Broken Doll in 2nd place.  Congratulations to everyone who took part.
