What a super afternoon we had today at our Christmas Party! We played games, showed off some fab moves on the dance floor and enjoyed some party food. The highlight of the afternoon was of course a visit from a very special visitor!!

Our Reindeer Dust Enterprise proved to be a huge success! All 200 bags were sold! We sold the majority of our bags at the Christmas Concert and the last few were sold at the Fayre on Saturday. We are so proud of the children for all their hard work….I think we may have a few potential future candidates for ‘The Apprentice’ in years to come!!

Primary 2 enjoyed a super afternoon of Winter crafts at the Duthie Park last week.  We made a class wreath, some sparkly tree decorations and had lots of fun getting messy during our bird feeder activity! Elfie enjoyed our outing too!!

Congratulations to Tolu on her Pupil of the Week Award! Tolu has worked extremely well during our Reindeer Dust Enterprise activities. She has shown good initiative and organisational skills. Well done Tolu!

Elfie has turned out to be a very popular new member of the class! He has however been getting up to all sorts of mischief during his first week in P2…

Whatever will he get up to next!?!…..

We were busy at the end of last week working on the marketing stage of our Reindeer Dust Enterprise.  As a class, we decided on the pricing of our product and how we were going to advertise it. The children worked hard to make some wonderful posters and enjoyed going to talk to the other classes in the school to show off their posters and finished product. We are now all looking forward to the selling stage at the Christmas Concert this week and the Christmas Fayre next Saturday.

Here are some photos of the class hard at work this morning making magic reindeer dust. There was some brilliant teamwork in each group and we managed to mix, bag and add labels. Elfie was really impressed! Our next job will be to think about how we can let people know that we are selling reindeer dust so that will be our challenge for tomorrow.

We changed sugar into magic crystals by adding some special gel and saying the rhyme, “Magic crystals work today, Help the reindeer find their way.”

This morning the magic had worked so well that some of the crystals had turned to a golden colour.

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.
