We love when our buddies come into the class to see us and work with us. Here they are helping Primary 1 do some phonics craft.

Fancy dress Friday
The children dressed up today in costumes for Hallowe’en. They had great fun. At times they were fierce and at other times they were spooks that sneak and creep silently.
Free time…..what to do I wonder?
We had some free time today and chose to do lots of different things. Nothing was set, it was all our own interest. This is how we kept ourselves busy. We had a picnic, made chilli chicken, pizza in a pan and used the pots for musical instruments.
Some of us made a city, an aeroplane, a car and people out of construction materials.
Others decided to write letters and colour in, taking great care to do their best, as always.
A few of us went fishing, designed tractors, did jigsaws and found dinosaurs.
Inventors and designers were also in the classroom. A tv is important in our eyes so it was important to design a tv with magical day and night tv screens at the same time. It was just as important to have the switches, control panel and sockets at the back of it!
Settling in, exploring and setting up our play area
We got to explore and settle into our new class and school area. That was very important since we had been away from school for a little while. Here are some photos to show us having fun and doing exactly as the title says. 
Just chilling
After a busy morning partying, primary 1/2 asked for some calming music to chill out to. Some chose to lie down, others chose to sit up and some chose to focus on moving things quietly.
It was nice and soothing.
P1/2’s Top Tips for New Entrants!
This week we have been thinking about how we can support the new P1 pupils as they get ready for school. The class thought back to when they started their school journey and we talked about all the things the new entrants may be unsure of or worried about. We drew and wrote down some pieces of advice for them and our work will be made into a book for them to look through before the holidays. We hope it helps them feel confident about starting school! Here are some of our suggestions.
Da Voar Redd Up
Last week we were busy working as a whole school to clear the beach of rubbish. It was sad to find so much plastic washed up on our beautiful beach. Well done everybody for cleaning it up, what a great job you did!
ERIC Time
We have really enjoyed our reading sessions over the past few weeks. The children have got much better at choosing suitable books and have tried really hard to persevere and sound out tricky words. They enjoyed reading different types of books…but the Oxford Reading Tree stories were still a firm favourite! The P1 pupils loved having the chance to spend time reading with their buddies. They were very patient and supportive. A huge thank you to our volunteers who came in each week to help us. You were a great help and we appreciate it! Happy holidays and….keep on reading!
P1/2 Assembly
Today, we were a little nervous but there was also a lot of excitement as the time for our performance neared! P1/2 put on a brilliant show which included acting out The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, talking about our own experiences of the dark, showing photos of our own constellation shapes and singing and playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. They ALL performed brilliantly! We missed having Kirsty and Peter with us though. The class have done so well considering some have missed rehearsals due to illness and others have had to change role at the last minute, or take on extra lines. Thank you to our families for helping at home and coming to support us on the day. It means so much to the children and us! Here are a few snaps from our afternoon!
