Maggie's weekend trip

At the weekend Miss Chapman, the P1 teacher, took me on a special day out to Pitlochry.

We went to Pitlochry to see Swan Lake.  I enjoyed watching all the ballet dancers and think that when I grow up I would like to be a ballerina.

Next weekend one of the children from the P1 class will be taking me on a weekend adventure.  I can't wait!

Coco says hello to St. Thomas' Primary!

Last week we walked down to the Post Office and handed in a slip to collect Coco. He has come all the way from Carlogie Primary School in Carnoustie. We took him into our classroom and showed him around so now he knows where everything is. We have been studying Europe and we taught Coco a bit about the countries. Coco came to the library with us and found a book on rainforests. He told us some facts about the rainforest.

Next we played with a ball in the hall and then went to visit the nursery where we played a number card game and said hello to the nursery children. Coco says he has enjoyed his first week at our school!

Pancake day

I learnt how to make pancakes and even tried to toss a pancake. I enjoyed the pancake with sugar and lemon.

Maggie at Cauldeen Primary School

Hi my name is Maggie and I arrived at Cauldeen Primary School in Inverness last week.  I have spent the week settling into the P1 class.  Nessie was still here and showed me around the school.  I really enjoyed playing hide and seek with Nessie and the children, in the playground.

Once Nessie left to go on a little trip to Dundee University, the children showed me the ropes at lunch.  The children had a packed lunch but I went for a tasty school lunch of haggis, neeps and tatties.  Yum yum.

Scotty the Rainforest Explorer

This week, Scotty has really enjoyed learning about living in the Rainforest. We have told him all the things we have been learning before he arrived and he is catching up with us very quickly! This week we were looking at the differences between rainforest homes and the homes we live in. The three main differences we thought of were:
1. Rainforest houses are made of sticks and leaves - ours are made of bricks and stone.
2. Rainforest houses are often built up on stilts - this is to save them from any flooding and also to stop animals coming in!
3. We have electricity that allows us to have things like lights, cookers, TV, xbox and DS!

Scotty loves the colourful wall display we have made in our classroom.

Next week, Scotty is going to come to PE with us - he is really looking forward to it!

Scotty visits Carnoustie

Hello we are a Primary 2/3 class in Carnoustie and we were very excited when we received a parcel in the post!
Inside we found Scotty the West Highland Terrier...he is very cute. He was sent to us by boys in girls up in Keith - this is in the North of Scotland, we found it on a map.
Scotty has settled in well to our classroom and you will see from the photo he especially likes reading - he thought it was his family in this story!!

I wonder what he'll get up to next week?.......

Winston in Leicestershire

We were very excited when we opened the parcel and discovered Winston the hedgehog inside.  He is really looking forward to spending time getting to know us all.  We have made him a diary where we are also sticking photos of his adventures.  We are going to make pancakes tomorrow and will be deciding which topping we like best!
