It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Particularly this week, with all the ice and snow!

We have had a very Christmassy week, here’s a peek at what we’ve been up to:

In literacy, our elf Sneaky Buddy had brought us The Christmasaurus to read. Pupils are really enjoying the story and are eager to find out how the story ends! We’ve been completing lots of activities linked to our book, from our comprehension strategies to STEM challenges!

In Maths, we’ve been working on developing our data handling skills. We sorted data about elves into a Venn and Carroll diagram. Pupils did very well deciding on how the elves should be sorted, opting for elves wearing green and elves wearing red and were able to display this clearly with the correct headings in their jotters. We started looking at time with Mrs Ferguson by exploring calendar dates and identifying months of the year in which certain festivals take place.

In other areas, we completed our IDL topic this week and completed a mini assessment. Pupils have really enjoyed constructing circuits and completing experiments throughout. We also learned about the journey of electricity where pupils became a part of the circuit and demonstrated with ribbon how it travels. Thank you again for your support with enterprise homework of creating a kite about Benjamin Franklin. Pupils did a fantastic job and were really creative!

We also joined P4S for our Christmas party and had a great time dancing and playing games!

We have our pantomime and Christmas service next week as well as lots of fun Christmas activities leading up to Christmas. Can’t quite believe Christmas is next week!
