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.

Please come to school in your party clothes on Tuesday. You may also bring in one game or toy from home on Tuesday.

All other homework is optional:

• Bake/cook a Christmas/winter recipe

Thank you for your continued support. Wishing you all a fun family holiday with plenty of time to rest and relax too. 

Like seasoned professionals we performed our Nativity play “It’s a Miracle” four times! After all our hard work and enjoyment we are now a little sad that we won’t get to come together again to sing and perform with P1 and P2.

• I thought we all spoke clearly
• We got much better at listening to our partners and speaking together
• It was fun to do it in front of the audience
• I liked wearing colourful clothes
• We were really confident singers

In RME we have been using the story of Papa Panov to think about shared values that are important to us all.

Homework11.12.17

This has been a brilliant Book Week for us!

We’ve really enjoyed talking about our reading targets, likes and dislikes as well as hearing visitors share some of their favourite books and stories. Special thanks to PC Trainer, Mrs Noble, P6 and our parent readers.

Some of us also shared our own short stories we had written in our Read, Write, Count books.

We have learned about equipment that weather watchers and meteorolgists use and we have started to record the weather each day.

We have been describing the weather with different technical vocabulary and we have used a thermometer too. Our next challenge will be to build a rain gauge to measure precipitation. Do you know what that means? You can ask us to clarify.

We have also used the recent weather as inspiration for art + design, improving our drawing and collage skills as well as learning more about colour. What do you think?
