Today we received an exciting delivery from the North Pole Express. 

Inside we found this little Christmas elf on a secret mission. He has asked us to help him make magic reindeer dust to help Santa find all the homes in Aberdeen. The Christmas elf asked us to give him a name so we have called him Elfie. 

We are going to make our magic reindeer dust bird friendly so we are not going to use glitter. Instead we turned sugar into magic crystals with some teamwork and a magic rhyme. Hopefully the magic will work overnight and we’ll be ready to start making magic reindeer dust tomorrow.

I think we’re going to have a lot of fun with Elfie in the class.

Here are some of the children busy at work in their spelling pairs this week. Lots of valuable learning is going on here as the children are using their phonics to read and spell the words with their partner, whilst also developing their co-operative learning skills. It is lovely to see and hear the children supporting and encouraging each other with their learning in such a positive way!    

Friday 13th might be an unlucky day for some people but not for our star of the week Andrew! He has been extremely hard working this week and has been able to finish all of his class tasks. Well done Andrew – keep up the good work!!!

Every Friday we are enjoying meeting up with our book buddies from primary 6. We get a chance to read our books to them and they help us read our library books too.
