This week we have been learning about 3D shapes and went on a 3D shape hunt around the school playground.

Niamh: ‘I learnt what a pyramid is.’

Jack: ‘ I found a stone in the shape of a cone.’

Kiernan: ‘ I found a cone on top of the pencil bin.’

Ask your child to spot 3D shapes when they are out and about this weekend.

For bonfire night we wrote a fireworks poem, designed our own fireworks and learned how to keep ourselves safe at a firework display.

Ayla: ‘We learnt to stay away from fires when wearing a baggy jumper’.

We used super wow words to describe fireworks such as: whizzing, brightly coloured, popping and exploding.

Well done to Ryan Brodie who won the class prize today!

P1a have been busy this week learning how to write and build three letter words. We are getting much better at spelling words !!

We have also been learning about 3D shapes and we enjoyed going on a shape hunt. What 3D shapes can you spot at home?

We played the feely bag game to guess what shape we could feel.

I learnt about a cube – Jack B

I learnt what a cone was – Chloe

I learnt about a cuboid – Ryan

A sphere looks like a ball – Kian

Can you tell an adult some of the 3D shapes we looked at?

We started to practise our nativity and Miss Rodford and Mrs Lloyd have found it tricky to decide what parts to give out!!! We are such good actors!!

Exploding and twirling fireworks glowing through the star filled sky.
Flashing multi-coloured rockets shooting up to the glistening, magnificent and sparkling sky.
Thundering and flashing Catherine wheels exploding all over the place while I eat my spicy and chilli hot dog and some hot chocolate- yummy!
Shooting stars shining in the bright light and the sparklers are sparkling and sparks coming off them and magnificent and beautiful fireworks.
Bonfire night.

Flashing fireworks with spectacular colourful colours,
Deafening rockets shooting with multi-coloured sparks,
Sparkling sparklers making mind blowing noises,
Flaming hot dogs and delicious bonfire food,
Whizzing Catherine wheels exploding everywhere
– Bonfire night.

Last week some of the boys and girls impressed me with ordering their lunch tray in French as well as saying ‘hello’ in Mandarin.

We enjoyed the Robin Hood panto and here are some photographs which show some of our favourite parts.

Samantha –  My favourite part was when Dani chased the Sheriff of Nottingham’.

Ella – My favourite part was when Maid Marian hit the Sheriff of Nottingham with his hand.

Lily – My favourite part was when the Sheriff of Nottingham locked Maid Marian in the dungeon.

Halloween Activities

We had lots of fun designing ‘Our Frankly Scary Frankenstein Posters’ based on the style of Pablo Picasso.

We had lots of fun dooking for apples and Mrs Sinclair was pleasantly surprised to see that we have a new class member who seemed to be a little too old for P2/3.

Our Star of the Week was Joseph for not getting upset when a friend accidentally bumped into him. Joseph’s reply brought a tear to my eye when he said ‘It’s okay Aaran, you’re still my friend’.

Class Dojo champion to be announced tomorrow. Watch this space!
