Another busy week and the final countdown until the holidays is on.

The children’s creativity has really come out this week as we have continued making toys and drawings in Santa’s workshop.

Some of the boys were busy showing off their craftsmanship skills by using the boxes to build some amazing creations. They spent a lot of time working on this.

Our naughty elf, Tinsel, latched on to one of the girl’s beautiful party dresses on Monday – cheeky!

It was Christmas jumper week this week and 2 of our pupils turned up as twins!

Some of the girls also spent a lot of time using the boxes to create a ‘bee hive’. It was amazing seeing such good teamwork.

 

The ‘Create your own Christmas jumper’ challenge went down a treat.

Santa was hard at work in his workshop.

Most of our maths and literacy work has been festive to help us get in the spirit.

We created some Christmas baubles on Wednesday. These can be hung on the tree or somewhere around the house. The children put so much effort in to making these and many of them were using their knowledge of symmetry when designing.

  

I can’t believe we are now at the end of term 1 – and what a wonderful term it’s been. Thank you so much for all of your hard work so far P2. Roll on 2021 to see what else we can get up to…

 

This week, the excitement for Christmas has been building.

On Friday morning, we found our classroom turned upside down!!! We had also been sent some cheeky videos on google classroom which helped us to work out that it was the very naughty Grinch!!!

 

We had to tidy our whole classroom and put it back to normal after the Grinch’s antics.

 

In maths, one of the groups  has been looking at fractions over the last few weeks. This is a very tricky concept but they have been doing so well.

Another maths group has been learning about measuring weight in grams and kilograms. They have loved carrying out the practical tasks.

Santa’s workshop has been super busy all week with some spectacular toys being designed and created by our talented little elves.

P2 continued developing their reading skills this week. We have seen some super improvements over the last few weeks! Keep up the hard work.

Our pupils have created some amazing designs and drawings at the creative zone this week.

 

We had the pleasure of enjoying an online pantomime on Thursday afternoon which really helped us all get in to the festive spirit.

On Friday afternoon, we created our lanterns to help light up Busby for the ‘Busby shines bright’ event on Saturday evening. The pupils worked so hard on these and have taken great pride in creating their own unique design.

     

Well done P2!

It finally turned December this week and we are SO excited for all the festive plans we have ahead this month.

Our Christmas countdown has begun.

Our naughty elf, Tinsel, also arrived!! He’s been getting up to all sorts of mischief.

Our winter crafts are well underway. We spent some time on Thursday creating stars for our one of our window displays.

The pupils picked the design they would like to have for our ‘Christmas door’. Each of their little elves are peaking around the side of the door.

On Friday afternoon, we created reindeer which are going to pull the sleigh for our next window display. They all look super!

One of our pupils made this incredible tiling design all by herself. Well done on creating such an intricate and detailed design.

In Literacy, the pupils have been working hard to consolidate their common words at the speed writing station.

We have also been looking at the A sound this week and how this sound can be spelt ‘ai’ or ‘ay’.

  

Some pupils created these amazing race tracks. They designed different styles of tracks with varying levels of difficulty.

The foam literacy letters were being used to build and construct towers and boxes. Teamwork was key for the letters to stick together.

The construction zone was busy again this week with some girls designing and creating a hotel. They returned to this over the course of 3 days to add and alter parts of their design.

Well done on another successful week everyone!
