In class we have been working on motor skills, we used a hammer to hammer in nails to decorate a pumpkin. 🎃 We all found this lots of fun, we had to talk about how to stay safe with tools, how to be good at turn taking and how to be creative.

With our autumn 🍂 leaves we created leaf monster puppets, we had lots of fun creating these then using them to play.

In number work we have been developing skills using Building Thinking Classrooms. We work in random groups to solve a problem together. We all love collaborative learning. We use “ thinking hats” to help us identify the problem, the information that we have, thinking time, how it makes us feel and how we can be creative.

In RE we have been learning why Mary is special to the church and that October. On Friday we joined the whole school in celebrating Mass.

During outdoor learning this week we created pumpkin 🎃 designs with our handprints.

We had a very important job of voting for new house captains on Friday, we listened to the Primary 7’s tell us why they would be good captains. After thinking about it we went up to the Primary 7 room to vote.

Have a lovey weekend 😀

We started the week off in Primary one learning about Autumn 🍂 and talking about the signs of autumn.
To create autumn leaves 🍁 we used sponges to paint and create texture, after waiting on them drying we turned them into leaf self portraits.

After collecting materials outside we used them to make our names with nature.

Primary 1 had lots of fun harvesting vegetables from the school 🪏 garden. We spent time washing them to make sure all the dirt was off them then wee carefully used tools to peel and chop the vegetables. The boys and girls decided they would like to make soup with the vegetables so on Thursday we made soup 🥣, we all had the choice to eat the soup and we buttered some bread to go with it. Some of us didn’t want to eat it and some of us had two bowls 😋

Staying in the garden we planted bulbs for next spring, we had to be very careful that we planted them correctly so they can grow up to the sun in the springtime  🌼 We are looking forward to watching them grow.
