This is the last full week before we come off for the Christmas holidays and we’ve managed to pack lots in.

On Monday we had our dress rehearsal for The Grumpy Sheep in front of the whole school and on Tuesday we did 2 performances for our families. It was a huge success. Mr Munro said it was the best singing he had ever heard! Well done to all the boys and girls in P1, P2 and P3.

     

We’re still busy making lots of Christmas craft. We made calenders and also beautiful table decorations. We painted fir cones green and put glitter and sparkles on them to look like real Christmas trees.

We’ve continued to work hard with our numbers. We used Christmas crackers to count our numbers 0-10 and jumble them up then put them back in the correct order.

  

We have also been problem solving. Winston,  the Longhaugh bear, has been feeling very chilly in this cold weather and we had to think what he would need to keep warm. We have been designing hats, gloves and scarfs remembering to use a pattern and making sure that our hats, gloves and scarfs all matched.

  

We have been revising all the sounds we have learned (23 in total), and sorting them all out on our sounds table. We used our letter vests to make words.

Our Christmas party is next week and we have been practising our dances. Our dances are The Bluebell Polka, The Shoemaker and the Hokey Cokey. Christmas is almost here!

 

Last of all we joined the P2’s in the computer room for a Glow meet and saw Santa visit St Joseph’s Primary School in Milngavie! We sang Jingle Bells and listened to him telling us all the things he does at|Christmas. He said hello to us and all the schools that had joined the Glow meet  in Dundee! We were very excited!
