On Wednesday we wrote a newspaper report about the Grinch and how he stole Christmas. We had to think of a catchy headline, use columns and paragraphs properly and have a picture and caption. We also had to write some quotes and try to write using a formal tone.

We had fun in PE this week, we were in groups and we had to get cones and make them into Christmas scenes. It was tricky and it was all about teamwork and communication. Mrs Faulkner and Mrs McGregor were the judges and walked round all of them and picked out the best.

This week Santa’s Little Helper was stolen! We walked into our classroom and it was a crime scene. We went to the ‘crime lab’ to find out who stole him. We had to look at fingerprints, dental impressions, chromatography and we looked at shoe scrapings. It was my birthday so it was a great day! (Adam) We interviews Mrs Slorach and Mr Weir as our evidence pointed to them. From that we then worked out that Mr Weir stole Santa’s Little Helper! Thankfully he was safely returned to us.

We walked up to Greenlaw Care Home with the nursery and we sang Christmas carols, played instruments and spoke to the residents. The choir also sang some lovely songs! It was really good fun.

We had a technology challenge where we had to design and make a tour bus for our band. We had to look at the design brief and decide what we were going to put in it. It was really fun to build it and we had to work really well as a team.

Today Mrs Robertson retired. We sang some of our Christmas songs and presented her with our gift. We are very sad to see her go as we have many fond memories of her teaching us. She also wrote us a song before she departed and all the teachers had to sing it at assembly!
