Pumpkin Fun The bairns have been using a large pumpkin to build on their fine motor skills.  They have hammered in golf tees, nails and pegs.  When there were no more items to hammer in, the bairns used tweezers to pull them out and start again.  One of the bairns decided that the pumpkin looked like a dinosaur body and added a cardboard head with sharp teeth.  The bairns also used different sized pumpkins for sorting and patterns.  “Peerie, bigger, bigger, biggest.”  “Little, medium, big, massive.”  “Peerie, small, big, giant.”  “Peerie, big, peerie, big.” Special Visitor We had a very

We had Lucy visiting us this week, which was lovely.

We all went into partners of two or three so it was easy to decide what we wanted to talk about from the term. We spoke about our STEM challenges, Anderson shelter models and afternoon in the polycrub and did a quiz with the school about the Axis and Allies flags.
