Hi!

We hope you have had a good week. Last  week we started our Designers Mearns Masters . For this Mearns Masters we will be designing toys for the nursery. We split into little companies and  went down to the street and got the nursery children to design a soft toy.  For example group 7 are making sonic for Calum and group 4 are making a mermaid for Hania.

Today we enjoyed a lovely Christmas Party in our gym.

We participated in party games such as pass the parcel and more. We had a lot of fun and over all it was a great party.

We got a packet of sea salt  crisps and and a carton of juice.

In the party there was a lot of running around, and some dancing. 

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Thus week in 5.18…..

On Tuesday because of the atrocious weather outside we did just dance inside for P.E and on Wednesday we were allowed to wear a Christmas jumper or accessory.

In Mearns Masters, we made yummy soup last week and this week, half of the class made Cranachan. The other half will make it next Thursday.

On Friday, we were treated to a dance show by the dance club which was very entertaining!

Today  we did  some Maths Top Trumps  based  on the Men’s World  Cup. The cards had times tables and division questions on them.

How we used math for each of the categories – we did a quiz about the countries that played in the World Cup and we were in teams of 4.

How you play –   you see which category is the highest and the other players say their calculation  and the biggest answer gets everyone’s cards.

It was fun.
