On Tuesday 20th Sept P1-3 from Newhill PS, Rattray PS, St.Stephens PS and Kirkmichael PS all came together to listen to a talk from the author Simon Puttock. The children had really good questions and got to listen to the story ‘The Baby that Roared’.

P1 was learning their ‘t’ sound. P2 kindly offered to help so we decided that we would bring in our teddy bears into class. We all enjoyed having some juice and biscuits.  We all introduced our bears to each other during ‘show and tell’.

P1/2 have been learning about road safety. We first have to THINK and find a safe place to cross. We then STOP with our feet on the pavement. Using our EYES and EARS and look and listen for any cars coming. WAIT until all the cars have passed. LOOK and LISTEN again for any cars coming and to make sure it is all clear. CROSS the road and don’t forget to keep looking and listening as you cross.

As part of our topic work P1/2 explored the playground. We read the Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and wanted to see what things we could find in the playground.

Be careful! Phew Ellie is there ready to catch you.

My P1/2 you have found plenty sticks.

Is that a couple of rocks?

Back to class we go with all our goodies. Next job is to decide what to do with them all.

On Wednesday 24th August P1 enjoyed their first school lunch with the grown ups. On the menu was a choice of tasty soup or fruit for starters and either Steak Casserole, Chinese Style Rice with Chicken or Macaroni Cheese. Yummy!!

The Friendly Dragon has visited P1 and P2. He has asked the children to help recreate Fairy Tale Land. The children are very excited and are well on their way to helping the Dragon.

We received a letter from the Friendly Dragon asking P2 to help Fairy Tale Land. Fairy Tale Land was fading because children were not reading fairy tales. P2 have been helping all the fairy tales in the land.
