Sharing Our Learning
Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our first Curriculum Cafe of the year, it was lovely to share our improvement priorities with you as well as the work the children have been doing outdoors. We look forward to seeing you at our next cafe where we will share our journey developing our approach to Building Thinking Classrooms.
We’ve had a lovely morning celebrating Halloween and the children have had a great time at their party with dancing, party games and a Halloween parade!
Primary 7 were all good sports and took part in a P7 challenge, being served some ‘delicious’ donuts. Unfortunately some of the donuts had been tampered with by an evil witch and had some very usual fillings!
Finally, there were 101 reasons for the staff to enjoy Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone!
P3/2 have had a busy first week back after October break. We have had a fun Halloween focused week! We started off the week with practicing our spelling words by writing them onto pumpkins and on spooky pictures.
In the afternoon we got creative out doors and collected leaves to create hedgehog leaf collage pictures.
We then investigated the cause of reactions by experimenting with different liquids. We made predictions what would happen when we combined water, soap, baking powder and vinegar together and then carried out the experiment. We then wrote up our observations.
Later in the week, we practiced using our core targets in literacy by writing spooky sentences. We then created spooky narrative stories.
After a busy week filled with lots of Halloween activities we are finishing the week off with a Halloween Party 🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN from P3/2 🎃
P2/1 are very excited about Halloween! Children have enjoyed building their fine motor skills this week by making pumpkins and ghosts from play dough, and then using describing words to write about their creations. They have also tackled a witch’s potion challenge, where they had to use tweezers to find the letters in the cauldron that matched the sounds on their potion recipe.
P3/2 and P4 have worked hard learning about Diwali and the story of Rama and Sita. Today they showcased their learning about Diwali and performed the story of Rama and Sita. Well done everyone! Happy Diwali!🪔
