We used chalk and oil pastels to make bright and colourful pictures of a bonfire and fireworks. We also learned to recognise and write ‘f’ on the same day-great timing!

We have been working with our P7 buddies to remember how to keep safe this weekend. We enjoyed designing firework posters and talking about rules to remember when we are watching fireworks or near a bonfire.  Everyone had the chance to show their poster, talk about what we most enjoyed about making the poster and tell the class one important rule to keep us safe.

Rory-never ever ever put a sparkler near to your eye.

Samuel-never play with fireworks because they could burn you.

Quin-don’t put fireworks near your face.

Katy-hold sparklers at arms length.

Emily-only grown ups should buy and light fireworks, it is safer to go to a special display.

Cory-don’t go back to a firework that didn’t work.

What a busy week we’ve had in Primary 1M  this week. We have been learning more sounds as part of our Phonics lessons and are delighted that we can now read and write some CVC words.  In Maths we have investigated 2D shapes and their properties. Perhaps you could have a 2D shape hunt at home or on the way home from school! We made Halloween bats out of our hands in Art and enjoyed sharing what we were dressing up as if we were going guising on Monday. During indoor PE we were practising throwing and catching using chest passes and overhead passes, for outdoor PE on Tuesday we learned how to play a game called ‘Farmer Farmer may we cross your golden river.’

Keep up the super effort with your homework-what a delight looking through your homework workbooks and jotters.
