Today we learned about why we have Remembrance Day and why we wear poppies.  We had a 2 minute silence at 11am to remember those who have fought in wars.  In the afternoon we painted poppies for art.

They are absolutely beautiful.  I will post a photo of our display once it is up.

On Tuesday we learned our final initial sound -x , so now we have learned all the sounds in the alphabet!  We were so excited to get the final sound to add to our magnetic letter boards. We made some cvc words with our magnetic letters and practised writing them.

Today we learned about Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot.  We also talked about how to stay safe around fireworks, bonfires and sparklers and watched a safety video by the Scottish fire service. Then we had some art fun making fireworks using chalk and crayons with  black paint  and rockets by cutting and sticking coloured  paper.

This afternoon for maths, Primary 1 learned about Venn diagrams with Mrs Davidson.
We sorted shapes  using a Venn diagram on the interactive white board and then used our own Venn diagrams at our desks to sort different objects into categories. It was fun and Mrs Davidson said we did really well.

We had a hauntingly happy day on Friday for Halloween fun day.  All the costumes were amazing!

We had lots of fun activities to do including a Halloween sound hunt, Halloween bingo,  Halloween number game, ghost art, spider web biscuit decoration, movie with popcorn and Halloween yoga!
