Wow wee, it’s Christmas time already! How did that happen? P2/2 have continued to work super hard in class and certainly deserve their holiday!

In Numeracy, we have looked at our number bonds all the way to 20 and can now explain what the greater than and less than signs (><) mean. You can even see in one of the pictures that someone made the signs using Tens columns! We all think the signs look like Munching Crunching Crocodiles because the big number is always by the mouth! We also had some excellent patterns of flags after the World Cup had finished and some domino towers.

   

In Literacy,  we have been continuing to work on our sounds and tricky words. We have been revising adjectives and the different ways we can describe something, look at our adjectives for Mr Christmas Tree! We’ve been working so hard in our writing by creating sets of instructions, fact files about how we use our senses and the inventors that we have looked at in topic. We have even written stories about why Santa was stuck up the chimney and about a cheeky reindeer who snuck into our classroom!

In Topic, we have been finishing our Scotland topic and have spent the last few weeks looking at the different inventors from Scotland. The class particularly enjoyed learning about John Logie Baird since he invented the TV! We also researched Alexander Graham Bell and Alexander Flemming, made notes and then used our notes to fill out fact files. Did you know Alexander Graham Bell’s mum was deaf so he was inspired to become a teacher for children with hearing difficulties? AND that Alexander Flemming made penicillin by accident? We couldn’t believe it! Finally we designed and made our own inventions, you can see a fantastic flying car in our pictures.

Finally, our Nativity was a huge success and we were all so excited to show you all our hard work! We have some budding Hollywood stars, I really couldn’t be more proud of how hard they worked for the nativity. Well done to all of the pupils!

Not only is it the end of the month, it’s the end of a year and the end of term 1! I hope you all have a happy holiday period and relax, you deserve it after all the hard work in term 1! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, see you in 2023!
