Friday 24th September

We took a little break from our 'Once Upon a Rhyme' topic to learn about the outdoors during autumn. During our week of the 'Oot and Aboot' topic we learned about the weather, transport and animals. We made some spiky hedgehogs. We really enjoyed putting all the spikes in!

We also went out into the playground to do a car survey. We counted the number of red, blue, green and black cars that drove past the school.

This week we went on a sound walk round the Peedie Sea. We heard cars, boats, birds, dogs barking and our waterproof trousers rustling as we walked! Then we went into the trees to find things with different textures. There was slippery leaves, rough tree stumps, sticky wet mud and lots more.

On Tuesday we learned about number 8. We practised writing it in sand. It was really good fun because the light shined through to show the number we had made with our fingers!

On Wednesday we learned about the letter n. Then we built a birds nest with twigs.

A very busy Class 1

Class 1 are now in school for full days and have been very busy.


We went on our very first class trip this week to Muddisdale. Despite the rain we had a great time as we were all dressed in our waterproofs and wellies. We had to find as many different flowers and leaves as we could.

The dentist came to visit us on Wednesday. We got to brush the toys teeth, we had to remember to use circular brush strokes. We also learned about foods that are good for our teeth.

This week we began to use our Activity Caterpillars. They tells us what work we have to do and the order to do it in. We like moving our small caterpillars along as we complete the different tasks.

Today we were set a challenge. We had to build a wall for Humpty Dumpty using bricks and then make a Humpty Dumpty to sit on the wall. It was quite tricky getting Humpty Dumpty to sit on the wall but we had a great time trying!
