Gladigator

Gladigator came to visit our school last week. We listened to advice about keeping our teeth healthy and then we got to play on his inflatable toy. It was such fun!

Homecoming week

To celebrate homecoming we had lots of Scottish activities in school. We got to try some traditional Scottish food in the dinner hall. Miss Kingsley made us soup, haggis, stovies and shortbread. We also wore tartan to school, listened to Scottish stories, made a picture of Nessie, sang Scottish songs and tried out some Scottish dancing at PE. It was lots of fun.

Toys

Our topic this term is toys. We have been looking at how toys have changed over the years and the materials that are used to make them.
We completed a placemat challenge in our groups to find out about our favourite toys.

Mrs Ayres showed us some old fashioned toys and some toys with moving parts. We got to try these out in our groups. Most children really liked the cup and ball but it was really tricky to catch the ball in the cup.
As well as learning about toys, we have also been making toys, such as masks, peg dolls and juggling balls. We even made a really great noughts and crosses game from card and plasticene that we can play at golden time.

At active maths time we enjoy counting our pennies to buy toys in our class toy shop.

Litter Pick

Primary 1 had a great time helping to keep the school grounds looking good recently.

Our primary 7 buddies brought vests and gloves for us to wear that helped to keep us safe.

We searched all around the playground for litter and any that we found, we put in the bin.

Outdoor Learning

We had lots of fun when we went into the school grounds recently, despite the rain!



We were looking at the changes in the trees during Autumn. We thought that the changing colours were very pretty.



We collected lots of Autumn leaves to help us with our artwork.


The berries on this tree are very colourful and will make a nice meal for a bird during the colder months, but we have to remember not to touch them as they could make us very ill.

Toys

Our new topic this term is Toys. To help us with our new topic, primary 1b created a Learning Plan for the topic. This will help us learn about things we want to know about, as well as showing Mrs Ayres what we know already.
The first task we had was to decide on our favourite toy. We had to show this as a group drawing. Our groups created a poster called a 'placemat'. We had to work as a team, listen to each other and remember our group roles. Mrs Ayres was very pleased with the way that we listened to each other.

Happy Halloween

Our Halloween disco was a great success and lots of fun was had by all. Mrs Ayres hardly recognised us. She was very impressed with our fabulous costumes. Take a look at the pictures to see why.
