We’ve been enjoying some festive fun while continuing to develop our knowledge, skills and understanding.
We have been developing our writing skills by writing about Elfie, our class elf. We write a diary about where we find him every day when we go into class.
We also shared a story about a Christmas Bear who visited Santa’s workshop and enjoyed talking about the different areas Santa would need in his workshop. We imagined we were looking through the keyhole in the door of Santa’s workshop and drew what we saw. Then we wrote about it , using our knowledge of words and sounds to help us make a little book.
In art we used different media- silver glitter paint,fine line pens, and crayon rubbing to create a snowman scene Christmas card.
In Maths we have been working on learning the correct order of the months of the year and which month comes before/after by singing songs and playing ordering games. We also made a calendar to give as a festive gift. We used finger painting to create a pattern, making the number 2019!
We are continuing to grow in confidence and whoever opens our advent calendar has a festive challenge to complete to the class or elsewhere in the school! Among the different challenges we read on the little challenge slips each day are telling Christmas jokes, doing Christmas mimes, visiting other classes to shout Merry Christmas , thinking of questions to ask Santa and describing what we think Santa would like in his stocking!The boys and girls have thoroughly enjoyed their challenges and show their confidence is developing well.
Party Time!!
We had an amazing time at our class party. First we got all dressed up.
Then we had yummy party food!
Then we were so happy to visit Santa in his Grotto. He was so kind and friendly and chatted to us all. Santa gave everyone of us a lovely non-fiction book to enjoy! Thank you Santa.
Lastly we played some fun party games and danced!
What a fantastic party!
Merry Christmas from all the children and teachers in Primary 1!
