Christmas Cards

We created our own Christmas cards with a mountain scene. We could choose whether we wanted to have snowmen, penguins, reindeer or anything else on our mountain design.

Christmas Elves

We have been using paper plates to create our own Santa’s elves! We started by painting the plates with a skin colour and attaching ears (they looked like pigs to begin with!!) and then we gave them a top and hat before finishing off with cotton wool.

Wrapping Paper

We had to use repeating patterns to create our own wrapping paper design. We could even do this at home to wrap up our families presents. We had to think of a pattern that would work for winter/Christmas wrapping paper.

Design Booklets

We have been reflecting on our topic this term and everything we have been making. These booklets were shared with parents on Thursday afternoon and we hope you liked them. They include a reflection page where we have had to think about our favourite decoration to make.

Christmas Party

We all had so much fun at the Christmas party on Monday. We were dancing, playing pass the parcel, corners, musical statues and enjoyed lots of lovely party food. Miss Dow tried to capture some of our best dance moves and party clothes…

Scavenger Hunt

Since all of the P4s and 5s were at their Christmas party on Wednesday afternoon we got to take part in a very special activity since we had the entire Blue Unit to ourselves! We worked in teams of 2 to complete a Christmas themed scavenger hunt. We used clipboards and had a sheet with 12 Christmas pictures that Miss Dow had hidden around the unit. We had to work together to find all of the pictures and tick them off of our list. We all loved this activity and had lots of fun working together and listening to Christmas music since we had the unit all to ourselves!

Cheeky Elves

Holly and Jolly have been very mischievous again this week! Santa has even been in our classroom on Sunday night as he left a magical, glittery footprint on the floor next to the elves’ door which we found on Monday morning. They even took an Elfie-Selfie and stuck them up all over our classroom on Friday!

Cinderella Panto!

We all thoroughly enjoyed the M+M Panto on Wednesday morning. We were very lucky that we got to sit at the very front! Since we were early to go through, we were allowed to get our photo taken in front of the backdrop… They even had some of the teachers and PSAs up dancing with them! (Miss Dow was glad it wasn’t her that was chosen!!)

‘Let’s Create’ Parents Visit

Thank you very much to all who came to our topic afternoon on Thursday this week. The children all seemed to enjoy showing you their work and sharing their learning experiences with you. We hope you enjoyed our song and thank you very much for all of your kind donations. These will be collated and as a whole, go towards a trip/event before the end of P3.
