Primary 3 have a special advent calendar in class this year. Each day we click on a numbered present from the online Christmas tree and it takes us to a new Christmas advert each day. We love talking about the messages behind the adverts and discussing how we can relate to them.

This week one of our Christmas adverts was from Waitrose from back in 2016. This video tells the story of a Robin in search of food.

This  started a discussion around how birds find food in the winter. We talked about how animals often struggle to find food in winter months when the ground has frozen over. We decided it would be helpful for us to make our own bird feeders and persuasive posters to encourage others to feed the birds too! We had great fun, although the lard was very slimy (P3 thought it smelled a bit too)!!
