Messy Times in P6-7 by Zoe and Talia
We’ve been learning how to play touch rugby. We were in 2 teams – reds and blues. The Blues won. We slipped in the mud – A LOT! There was a lot of sliding when we were trying to get a touchdown. We hope (please Miss Jack?) that we can play it again.
We’ve started our preparations for the school’s entry for the Strathaven Bonfire Guy competition. We are in 3 groups and each group has a different plan for their Guy. One group is making Darth Vader, one group is making Hilary Clinton as a witch with Donald Trump in a cauldron, and the last group is making Miss Muir! We’ve started making papier mache faces for them. We’ve still got to do a lot of work. Watch this space for pictures next week or come to see our Guy at the Bonfire in Strathaven Park on 5th November.
We’ve started this terms new Dojo Points. If we get to keep 85% of our points we will get a fun day as a treat for our hard work and good behaviour. Last term it was SOOO much fun when we met out target and had a pyjama party where we watched a movie with popcorn and juice!
A Busy Week for P4-5 by Abigail and Rebecca
We’ve been learning about money in Maths, using decimal points and rounding to the nearest pound. This is important because it helps you work out easily if you can afford to buy something in a shop. Some of us found it quite tricky and some of us found it easy – it was easy/hard.
We made our Christmas card designs! It was really fun and a bit strange to be designing a Christmas card in October. We used collage techniques and paint. Scrumpled paper worked really well too! We’re really looking forward to seeing what our designs look like when they’re made into cards and wrapping paper.
To finish off our Strathaven topic we started making leaflets about why Strathaven is a good place to visit.
In PE we’ve been doing golf. We got into teams and had to try and hit the ball into cones. The team that got rid of all their cones first won. It was a lot of fun and it helped us work on our aim when we’re hitting the ball.
Phew, it’s been a busy week!
A Mysterious and Magical Adventure in P1-3
The Mysterious Table
This has been a very exciting (and spooky) week for us.
On Thursday when we got into the class there was a table in the classroom with BAT BLOOD, SNAKE VENOM, FROG BLOOD and SPIDER VENOM on it! There was a sparkly cover on the table and a spell book and a magic wand. There was a letter too, which said “Forgot the worm snot. Back soon.”
We were very curious about who had left this so we decided to try and find clues. We were like real detectives and we hunted for evidence in the playground and in the school. We found some very strange and interesting things. There were claw marks and strange coloured marks on the walls, we had never noticed before. We also found an unusual coin, odd sticks, some broken pottery, strange plastic objects, some leaves that smelled like worm snot and a very mysterious silver hair.
You will never believe what happened next…when we came back from playtime everything that had been on the table had disappeared except for another note! It said “Sorry to spook you!” The mystery key (that appeared from nowhere a while ago) was also gone! We were so shocked that we decided to write our own magical potion spells to be just like the mysterious visitor.
