On Robert Burns day we used collage to make haggis, neeps and tatties. We also designed our own tartan and enjoyed drama in Scots with Sarah. When we did the Gruffalo we saw a tod (fox), a hoolet (owl) and a moose (mouse).

In Social Studies we’ve been learning about ancient Egyptian homes. We used what we know to make our own books about ancient Egyptian homes. We put in facts, subheadings, titles, bullet points and pictures. We also did paintings of ancient Egypt where we had to think about the climate as well as the buildings.

We’ve read lots of books in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge. We all have our own reading passport and bookmark and most of us have at least one or two stickers. Even if we don’t have lots of stickers it has still got us into reading.

We enjoyed writing about our own heroes and villains. We wrote about their powers and their enemies. We used lots of amazing adjectives like ugly, friendly, selfish, mean, and strong. This writing was also a chance to use paragraphs which is something new for us.

We used our reading skills to identify and discuss the features of  a non-fiction text. We then looked more closely to find information about reindeer. After that we discussed what makes Santa’s reindeer different and unique. Did you know that reindeer’s noses warm the air they breathe? This is probably what gives Rudolph his famous red nose.

In Technologies we worked in teams to design and build a new sleigh for Santa. We came up with lots of special features like turbo boosters, lights, comfortable seats, landing pads and emergency wheels.
