Thank you so much for supporting us at our sharing of learning event today. The children have worked incredibly hard to learn all of the songs and lines for today and their performance demonstrated that they really are confident individuals.

I think you’ll agree that they did a fantastic job today. We are very proud of them!

Here are some photos for you to enjoy…

We have been learning about money and even created our own shop to apply what we have been learning.

We can:

*add a variety of coins together to find the total amount

*choose the coins we would need to make a specific amount

*use the least amount of coins to make a given amount

Here are some pictures of us hard at work…

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year, we’ve had a very busy start to the new year.

This term is going to be very busy. We have already begun preparations for our sharing assembly that will take place at the end of the month. For homework, everyone will be given the words home with them, please support us and help your child to learn the song words at home. Thank you, as always, for your help.

We look forward to continuing to share our learning with you throughout the term.

During our daily mile last Wednesday we saw a newt walking along the path, we wanted to share the photograph with you that we took of our new friend.

We have been really busy in the run up to the Christmas holidays and wanted to share some of the fun things we’ve been doing!

Jamie, our class elf, has still been getting up to mischief! We found him and some friends playing with trains when we came back from Music last week.

 We used Cosmic Kids yoga to make sure we were calm and relaxed before our Christmas concert last week. It was a special Christmas themed session and we loved it!

We decorated our very own mini Christmas tree. We used different shades of green to create the colour we wanted for our tree. Once we put it all together we added glitter to make it sparkle. They looked great!

We watched The Snowman and used this as a stimulus for our writing. We’ve been reading the Michael Morpurgo novel remake of the story and used both the novel and video clip to then retell the story in our own words.

On Wednesday an elf came to our class. He is a little bit cheeky. He arrived in a box that was sent from the North Pole. A note came in the box with the elf and it told us he likes cookies. We named him Jamie. (CMcF, NJ, JM, AL)

On Thursday Jamie sent us a letter and in the letter there were little cards so we could write our elf names. We used the first letter in our name and our birthday month and matched these up to the poster to help us make our elf name. (RH, BMcG)

On Friday he photocopied himself. He did it while we were sleeping. He asked us to write down words to describe what he looks like and what he behaves like. (MH, EB)

BMcG made up a little rhyme to describe what Jamie had been up to on Friday….”I am an elf and I printed myself!”

We’re having great fun with Jamie in our class!

We went on our school trip on Thursday. We went to The Smith Art Gallery and Museum. We had so much fun in the secret garden and we got to choose our favourite picture in the Art Gallery. (RH)

In the museum there was an old doll house. It took 4 months to build. They built it during the war. (EB)

We saw propellers that the Barnwell brothers used to fly the first recorded flight in Scotland. (BMcG)

We saw William Wallaces’ sword. It was very big! (ER)
