The hairdressers is this weeks role play. It has generated a lot of discussion and is all about sharing and taking turns. We have been busy shampooing and putting our rollers in. We all have very clean hair, thankfully! If the hairdresser is busy, we have to wait in the queue and read a magazine. Such fun!
Now that the lids have been painted, we had to match the correct lid to the correct jar by comparing sizes. The children were able to do this very quickly !
A special thank you to everyone who handed in jars to be used for our Christmas Fayre craft. Every child now has one so we can begin making our reindeer jars. We are looking forward to selling them at the school Christmas Fayre on Saturday, 1st December. The Fayre is open from 12pm till 3pm.
It is always busy in 1.3. The children asked for new activities last week and we have done our best to provide them. We also have different activities to reinforce our learning. It is always a work in progress.
We learned some more of our Scottish dance routine today. Our teachers were very impressed with how well we did. 😁
On the 1st December, Mearns Primary will host our annual Christmas fayre. For this, our class are going to make these amazing reindeer jars filled with reindeer dust, perfect to scatter on Christmas Eve! Please help us by sending in any spare glass jars over the next week (jam jar size) and once we have enough for each child we can begin our crafting.
Thank you ☺
During our Literacy time today, we practised our letter formation. It is important when writing different letters to start these at the correct place. Our work was very neat! 
We try to keep our children engaged and active in their class work and play. This week, we have changed a few things. The children were highly delighted and love to try new things.
We were very busy in Maths today! We were comparing sizes of objects and organised pencils from longest to shortest. We have also started looking at money and were working with 1p coins.
We have been learning lots of new sounds in class. We are working on identifying the different letters which make each sound. Today we waited for our teacher to say a sound and then we cut the letter out and stuck it in the correct box. We worked together as a team and had a team leader.
