We were tasked by the management team to design snowflakes and then drop them off the balcony and see which snowflake took the longest to float to the ground.

This afternoon we were all dressed up and we got in the Christmas spirit to enjoy a Christmas party 2020 style. Although we weren’t allowed to sing or dance, we still had a great time taking part in the  classroom games and some outdoor games too! We also really enjoyed our crisps and juice.

This morning when Mrs Forsyth came into school she was met with chaos…the cheeky Grinch has visited during the night and turned the classroom upside down. Have a look at the video of the room!

We decided we would work as a class and create a poem to tell the Grinch that he would not destroy our Christmas spirit, have a listen…

We are making tree decorations out of birch wood but we realised that it was missing a hole to put the string in so we asked Mr Weir to bring his drill and teach us how to safely drill a hole ourselves!

This afternoon we combined some art and technology. We used the VR headsets to look at street art around the world and we looked at images from different decades and discussed how street art had changed over the years.

We then had a go at creating our own street art using pastels, chalk powder and stencils.

It has been a very exciting week in P3a. We have a new door display and lovely fairy lights decorating the classroom to give it a winter feel.

The most exciting new addition to the classroom wasn’t an elf this year…..instead it was a dinosaur called Mr Claus. Mr Claus arrived with a letter from Santa…

Mr Claus has turned out to be a VERY cheeky dinosaur. So far this week Mr Claus has stepped on paint and put footsteps everywhere, become tangled in the fairy lights, stolen the class advent calendar and ATE the chocolate!!!
