Happy St Andrew’s Day everyone!

We had a brilliant time this morning on the assault course. I’m afraid the class IPad couldn’t keep up with them – some of the photos are a bit blurry!!!

We also enjoyed revising our common words with a game of Splat!

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

We decided to have Free Play Friday a day early today as we won’t be in the Learning Zone tomorrow! We had real cups of tea in the house, a poorly turtle at the vets and a lovely, cosy time in the reading house.

During reading time today the Blue Group were fantastic at reading ‘Shopping’ – for an extra practise they read to a cuddly toy!

REMEMBER tomorrow we are going along to the assault course so children can come in their gym clothes – joggies, leggings, t-shirts or tops.

It’s also St Andrew’s Day so a wee bit of tartan can be worn too 🙂

• Reminders

Military Fitness are coming in on Friday. Our class will go along to the gym hall at 9am to take part in the activities. Can children please come to school in their P.E. kit to save time in the morning .

It is also St Andrews Day on Friday with a special St Andrews lunch. Children can wear tartan.
