What a busy week!

Even although the children were in school for only three and a half days this week – they have managed to fit in so many things!

They were a super audience for the cast of Robin Hood in the pantomime which made everyone laugh out loud, they have been practising the French phrases of the week and have also learned how to say hello and goodbye in Mandarin.  The children were also given the chance to hold and pass round Chinese paper craft and to try on some traditional Chinese masks.

P.E. was a highlight this week as four students from West Lothian College came and worked with the class.  The children demonstrated super listening skills and thoroughly enjoyed this and are now very much looking forward to the next three weeks working with the college students.

In literacy, we played a fun game where we picked out and said three sounds from the bag and then we had to try and make a word and decide if the word we made was a real word or a nonsense word!

The Halloween disco was a big hit with all the children and caused a lot of excitement this week. Happy Halloween everyone!

A busy week in P2

This week P2 learned how to say hello and goodbye in mandarin. We also looked at chinese paper art and got to try on chinese masks.

We enjoyed the Robin Hood pantomime on Thursday and wrote about our favourite part:

Matthew: ‘My favourite part was when Robin Hood and Maid Marion kissed’.

Daniel T: ‘My favourite song in the panto was “Cheerleader” and “Bills”.

Cameron A: ‘I liked when the minion popped up’.

 

Many of the children enjoyed the Halloween party last night and I saw a lot of amazing costumes! The highlights for P2 were the decorations, flashing lights and the 4 corners game.

 

In maths we have been using our bunny ears with numbers to 10. The children enjoyed playing around the world and some of them managed to travel as far as 13 spaces in the game! Ask your child how to play the game at home with number bonds to 10 and 20.

This week in P4/5

We had a short but enjoyable week here in P4/5.  We learnt about Internet Safety and Liam very much enjoyed it.  We had good fun playing dodgeball in PE.  We also did some spooky art work for Halloween.  We learnt a French song about Halloween from Mr. Herman’s childhood.  It was nice to see everyone in the class back after haft term.  We started recorder lessons this week and will keep practicing hard!  The panto was great and Nathan was our star of the week.

Enjoy Halloween this weekend !!!!!

 

Halloween Fun!

Today we had lots of Halloween fun in the nursery!  We all dressed up and went guising around the school.  Our disguises were so good that Mrs Ferguson didn’t even recognise us!  We sang a Halloween song to everyone and were even rewarded with a treat from Mr Herman!

P2/3 Happy Holidays!!!

In Maths we have been learning the Months of the Year. We really enjoy singing along to this song to help us remember the months of the year.

We read Katie Morag Delivers the Mail and Kayla brought in her dad’s mailbag to show the class. Some of the class thought it was made of soft leather and some others thought it made of plastic because it felt rough.
