After some work on capital letters, we were doing some matching of capital letters and small letters.

We are making Christmas cards today. We created our snowman cards and then wrote them for someone we love.

We are giving Royal Mail a run for their money this morning by sorting out all the Christmas cards in our postbox. We had to read the names on the card and sort them into piles. Some names were really tricky.

Then we hand delivered them!

We had lots of fun dancing, singing and playing games with our friends.

Some of us won musical statues.

Next, it was Pass the Parcel and we had to do special tasks if we unwrapped a present.

We enjoyed our snacks and chatting with friends. 

Then, a special visitor arrived. His friend even tagged along. 

We tried to help him…   But we just had to show him. Thanks for the pressies Santa!

It really IS a party!!

Some boys decided to make a shop in the pit area today. They are selling play doh, bead patterns and sticks for money. We are developing our ability to recognise coins through using real and pretend coins.

We weren’t horsin’ around with our amazing Nativity performance! We hope you liked coming on a bumpy journey with us as we worked very hard on our singing and dance moves.

Some of us have made a variety of art work out of our loose parts.

Remember, if you collect any loose parts over the festive period, we would love to use them in class! Thanks, P1.2.

Some of us have learned that volume means the amount of stuff something holds.

To apply our knowledge, we made playdough measuring in cups, half cups and teaspoons.

.  We added some colour and then we were ready to play.

We even tidied up!

We explored how to look after the North Pole.

We learned about the different animals who live in this cold, icy environment like:

Polar bears

Arctic foxes

Seals

We learned about the texture of polar bears fur by making masks:

We know that polar bear fur is hollow and that is how they are able to float in the water.

We explored ice and what happens if we heat it up. We can now explain that the solid ice melts into a liquid  water. With global warming occurring, we recognise that the North Pole is heating up and soon, the polar bears’ home may melt away. We are going to try to stop this by not using as many sprays at home.

Here are some other stations some of us visited:

Thank you to one of our mummies for sending in snowflake making resources.

Her son led a station in class and lots of people wanted to visit him!
