Today we have managed to have some Halloween themed lessons:

In class PE we did some target practice aiming at some ghosts

We have made some fantastic mummy pictures, using oil pastels looking at how to blend colours

The class are now learning about Halloween homographs by playing grammar boom!

Whilst Primary 6 have been away doing Bikeability, P7 have been spending some time with their buddies who are now in P1. They come through to P7 with us on a Monday morning. We have been reading them stories, exploring the school through scavenger hunts, and looking at different phonics sounds they have been learning in P1. So far we have looked at “O”, “S” and “A”. We wrote stories with them and researched their favourite animals. We even showed them “the Wiggle Dance” which is our new favourite brain break activity. Next term the P6s will be away for playleader training so we will get to see them again.

Some more photos of our fantastic trip to Mousa

What a fantastic day we’ve had at Mousa! We had a walk around the island before stopping along the broch. We enjoyed exploring the broch and some of us were brave enough to clamber all the way to the top. On the way back, we had a fantastic tour along the shore and heard lots of stories from Shetland’s past. We’d like to thank the crew of the Mousa boat for taking us to and from the island and sharing your stories and vast amount of knowledge with us. A great way to bring our learning to life.
