We’ve had a spooky end to the week in P2/1. Yesterday we learned the w sound and made webs and read stories about witches. We painted our wands with acrylic paints and added the finishing touches this morning. We had to promise not to turn Mrs McGilp into a frog! We also finished our Halloween masks and did some fantastic cutting and sticking. We also drew some scary pictures on our whiteboards.

Also this week we learned the j sound, and are doing a great job blending all of the sounds we have learned so far. We are enjoying reading in class and are doing lots of work on our key words, thank you for practising these at home.

In outdoor learning this week we talked more about the different seasons and how this affects some animals, in particular hedgehogs. We made hedgehogs out of plasticine and then collected lots of leaves and twigs to make them more comfortable. We talked about how the hedgehogs are eating lots of food before they hibernate for winter.
