We had a fang-tastic Halloween themed day today where we were allowed to dress up, played fun games, dooked for apples and made marshmallow monsters! A monstrously good time was had by all!

We were out in the playground yesterday trying to identify the different types of trees we have around the school. We discovered we have quite a few different types of trees including oak, maple, sycamore, rowan and holly. We enjoyed looking at the different shapes of the leaves and found lots of lovely colours too.

Try using the leaf identifier to see what trees are near your house/ in the local park/ on your favourite walk.

We had a great time designing our own apps on Tuesday as part of code week. We had to brainstorm, plan and create a prototype which we are going to share with the rest of the class. We came up with loads of brilliant ideas and some of us would really like to be app designers when we are older.

Well done to all the pupils who applied for the jobs of class council rep and sustainable squad rep. They were all well prepared and spoke clearly and confidently about their strengths and hopes for the coming year.

Our class council representative this year is Jade (secretary – Lola).

Our sustainable squad representative is Caitlin (secretary Ella).

Congratulations!

A huge thank you to the pupils from primary 6/7 who helped us create our animations using our pipe cleaner people. We took photos on our I pads and then put them into I movie to create a short film. We really enjoyed this and will try adding some background scenery and sound effects next week.

We love playing this game and it helps us remember our number bonds to 20.
