This week in science we have been learning all about materials. We have learned to classify natural and manmade (synthetic) materials and discussed examples of these. After this we went outdoors to hunt for different objects in the playground and identified what kind of materials these objects were made from.
After being introduced to our Scots poems for the year, this week as part of our writing lesson we tried to create some Scots texts of our own. We began by discussing what Scots words we already knew and then had a go at changing some well-known nursery rhymes into Scots. Once we were confident using and understanding some Scots words, we wrote a description about ourselves titled ‘Me Masel’. Miss Milroy was very impressed with our work and thinks our writing will look great displayed beside our collaborative class painting of Robert Burns.
P3/4/5 had their Christmas party on Tuesday 14th December.
We had lots of fun games and dancing. Everyone had a great time.
In class we have been exploring the religion Christianity and the true meaning of Christmas. After making our Christmas stories last week, today we carried out some research to find out what different Christmas objects symbolise to Christians at Christmas. It was very interesting to find out what the different items represented and enjoyed discussing what we found out.
We have been working very hard on our spelling this week. Each group
completed a different activity to practise their spelling words and common words.
This week we were tasked to create a Christmas display for the school. We worked hard to create the shapes suitable for our carol singing reindeers and had to be very careful when cutting, especially the smaller parts such as the eyes. We think they look great and can’t wait to see them on display. P3-5
