Today P2S found out their new context for learning – Scottish Landmarks, but Miss Stark didn’t make it easy for them!
The children had to work with a partner to put together lots of different puzzle pieces. Each pair had a different picture and the children had to figure out what all the pictures had in common!
The children took a look around at all of the different finished pictures. They had lots of ideas for what our new context might be!
On Monday Elvis asked us to sort through some different Christmas objects investigating whether or not they were magnetic. The children had lots of fun carrying out this activity and we learned some information about magnets and forces. We love science!
Today Elvis challenged us to work as a team and build a Christmas tree using green plastic cups. We had lots of great ideas during our brainstorm session and we tried lots of different ways to make it work.
The green group worked so well as a team and managed to complete the challenge first.
To make it even more difficult Miss Stark told the class to try again – but this time they weren’t allowed to touch the cups with their hands! The children very quickly came up with a number of solutions.
On Thursday P2S visited the Orchard Care home to sing some Christmas Songs! The children really enjoyed doing the performance and are already asking to go back and do it again!
The boys and girls had an amazing time at their Christmas party on Friday! Thank you Mr Roberts for teaching us some Scottish country dances. Here’s a clip of us doing the Virginia Reel –
We really love the Hokey Cokey dance! Here is a video of us in action:
P2S were faced with another challenge from Elvis on Thursday! We had to try and find a way to stop Santa’s bells from making a jingling noise!
The children came up with some wonderful and creative ideas to tackle this challenge and they had lots of fun doing it!
Today Elvis the Elf set us another challenge! We each had to make a paper chain using only one piece of paper. The person who could make the longest chain was the winner!
 
The children brainstormed with a partner trying to think of different ways they could make their paper chain longer than everyone else’s.
In the end, our winner was Lacey!
As part of Scottish Book Week P2S and P6M worked with their literacy buddies to produce some fantastic Kelpie stories! A book full of all our wonderful work is available to look at in the school foyer.
Elvis set the class a design challenge today! We had to plan and create a Lego marble maze. The children worked very well with their partners and took their time to solve the design problem. The results were fantastic and the children were able to identify their own areas for improvement! Hopefully Elvis tells Santa what a wonderful job we all did!
Molly and Murron created a super tricky maze! Even Miss Stark took a long time to complete it!
P2S had an extra special delivery this morning all the way from the North Pole! We are super excited to welcome one of Santa’s elves into our classroom!
We have been learning about tally marks in our numeracy lessons and we used this knowledge to decide upon a name for our Elf!
