We have had a Hallowe’en fun filled week!  Here are our best bits according to your wee pumpkins:

Leah liked listening to the story, ‘Room on the Broom’ .  Afterwards, the children worked with a partner to take turns balancing the different characters (different sized cubes) on the broom (a ruler balanced on a glue stick) without them falling off!  Some groups had very good problem solving strategies.  I was AMAZED!  I think we have some future engineers in our midst!

Ishani M loved our Hallowe’en Corners game!  We were not able to dance to music indoors just now but we did move like skeletons and zombies.  It was spoooooooky cooooooool!  Congratulations to DaisyDee and Reyansh who were our winners and received a funky light up spinner as their prize.

Jonah enjoyed handwriting.  This was almost the only none Hallowe’en lesson during the week.  The children revisited the formation of v and w.

Ishani M recounts how her favourite part of the week was some Hallowe’en PE with Mrs Lafferty outside.

Mrs Devlin’s highlight was witnessing how the children helped and encouraged one another when we made our Hallowe’en lanterns as some found them a little fiddily to make.  A few children gave up their Choosing Time unasked to help some  finish theirs.  So sweet!
