Primary 5 today had a trip to nursery to reacquaint themselves with the guinea pigs – Muffin and Biscuit – before we host them later in the month! The furry friends will be arriving in P5 the week after next and will be shared around several classes during their two-week holiday to St Mary’s. After a cuddle with both we got to ask some questions about guinea pig care. We have also been doing a little bit of learning and writing about this too. We can’t wait for our piggy pals to join us in P5!
Sparkles abound in Ness today! We researched Fireworks today, especially sparklers and loved the colours! We decided to make our own edible Sparklers with breadsticks, melted chocolate, icing sugar and sprinkles. Delicious!
What a fun, bus learning week in Primary 1.
As this was Halloween 🎃 week we took our inspiration from this.
To start with we were working on science 🧪 mixing materials together to make a new material, we made slime. It was lots of fun.
We thought about how we could not separate the materials again and put it back to how we got them, once mixed and turned into slime it was stuck that way.
This then made us think about melting, we can melt water 💧 and then turn it back into ice 🧊, but we can’t do that with everything. We melted jelly blocks in hot water and let them set in the fridge. Once made we could not turn it back to water and jelly. Again this was lots of fun and we got to take our jelly potion home.
We stuck with the same theme of Halloween 🎃 and mixing, this time it was powder and water 💧 to make icing sugar. We also found out that we couldn’t switch it back to powder and water. We had a great time icing biscuits and decorating them.
On Thursday we had a spooky session in the woods for our outdoor learning. We were joined by Primary 6 and had lots of fun.
On Friday we celebrated All Saints Day with mass in the school. We were very respectful during the service and sang beautifully.
Have a lovely weekend.
This week we have been very busy!!
We have focused on our learning around the ‘m’ phonic in Literacy, and enjoyed sensory formation of the letter.
In ‘Beyond the number’ we have designed houses using 2-D shapes.
We have also enjoyed ‘Ready. Set. Go.’ races on the ‘kick pitch’. We have also enjoyed ‘hop-scotch’ in the Outdoor Classroom.
We have sung songs to welcome us into the day during our Morning Group sessions.
A lovely week with friends.
Great fun was had by all on Friday morning! Amazing effort from everyone – the children looked amazing in their costumes! They all enjoyed the P4-P7 Halloween party in the hall.
Here they are…
The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions. October includes the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). The best way to celebrate the month is, of course, to pray the Rosary.
We have spent some time praying the Rosary and we have enough Rosary beads to use whilst saying the prayers.
Well done to all our ‘Guisers’ who dressed up for the Halloween Party on Friday. Lots of dancing, eating and treating!
Welcome back P2! It has been a busy first week. We thoroughly enjoyed rounding it off with our Halloween party today. There were plenty of superheroes, villains, werewolves and princesses in class. Some we couldn’t even recognise! Have a great weekend.
A super week …!
We’ve enjoyed sensory painting of Autumn Trees, races on the Kick Pitch and time in the Sensory Room.
We also learned more sounds in our Literacy time and progressed with our recognition of 2-D Shapes in our ‘Beyond Number’ studies.
We also all enjoyed the new Rainbow tunnel in P.E. and the Halloween party.
As Halloween is approaching we have been reading spooky stories and making potions 🧪 in class. We all found this lots of fun, think of names for our potions and what they would do.
We also created som leaf 🍁 art in class, we created Autumn characters with the leafs.
On Friday we enjoyed coming to school dressed up for our Halloween 🎃 Party. It was lots of fun.
