All dressed up for the Hallowe'en Parade!

"It's slime inside!"

"It is cold and wet and there's crunchy bits like beasties!"

We all agreed what we wanted our class pumpkin to look like - very, very scary!

Chris Bennett, hammer thrower put us through our paces at the Sports for Champions sponsored event.

We were delighted to have the Camanachd Cup in our classroom!

What a super, hot, sunny day for a wonderful Jubilee Picnic followed by a walk to the Badenoch Centre to watch 'The Twits'. We all enjoyed ourselves!

We explored the 'Union Jack' and discovered it is made of the flags of the countries that make up the United Kingdom. We made our own flags to decorate our table at the 'Jubilee Picnic' 

We are all dressed up ready for the Jubilee Celebration!

Some of us used symmetry to decorate our crowns.

We were delighted to be asked to name one of the alpacas from Cairngorm Alpaca Trekking. We thought of lots of names, then chose six we really liked. We made a pictogram and used pictures of our faces to vote for.....'Cloud'.

We enjoyed finding shapes all over the school and making cubes with straws.

Today we made vegan pancakes. They were delicious!

We celebrated Chinese New Year! First we cleaned the classroom, then we put up our decorations. We each got a red envelope containing a small gift. We explored writing Chinese symbols for 'Good Luck' and 'Happy New Year'. 

We made bird feeders with larch cones, fat and seeds. We are hoping to attract lots of birds so we can count them for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.

We have been exploring climate change and how it will damage our precious planet. We thought about ways we can help. We looked round Kingussie and found we can recycle....

"The grass has gone yellow!"

We found out that grass needs sun to keep it healthy.

We investigated what plants need to keep healthy. We covered a small area of grass with our upturned sandpit to block out the sun.

We explored the 'active painting' style of American artist Jackson Pollock.

We enjoyed workshops about Bullying, Strangers and Secrets. We learned how to put our hand out and say a firm "NO!" to bullying behaviours.

We've been practising cutting and gluing and have done a fabulous job of decorating our reading corner.

Using natural materials, we did story mapping, symmetry and Rangoli patterns. We also found out about our native trees.

We used what we know about symmetry to make Hallowe'en decorations. We found it was quicker to fold the card and cut out half a shape to make pumpkins, bats, ghosts and mummies! 

We have been learning about 'Tourism' this week and we built a caravan!

We looked through leaflets and cut out all the things we can do in our local area. The Folk Park was our favourite.

Please have a look through a few photographs of our P1/2 classroom.
