We have had a very busy 2 weeks at school! \u00a0Here are some of the things that have been happening inside our class.<\/p>\n
Today we could wear our Christmas jumpers to school we loved seeing everyone looking so bright and colourful! \u00a0Some jumpers had lights and music and some people had Christmas themed headbands!!<\/p>\n
This morning we visited p6 for their \u2018Grow \u00a35\u2019 event! \u00a0What an amazing amount of products and events to take part in. \u00a0Our favourites were the hot chocolate cones, the bracelets and the reindeer balloons. \u00a0 Mrs Sutherland loved the \u2018Knock the Santa Cups down\u2019 stall, she thought it was a great idea to have things to do and not only things to buy! Very creative!<\/p>\n
We took part in a live event about the Ancient Egyptians.\u00a0 It was pretty interesting because it taught us about artefacts and we learned about a new artefact called a ‘Shabti’. \u00a0A small Egyptian figure that was placed in the sarcophagus with the mummy to help remind the person to carry out specific tasks in the afterlife.
\nWe got to ask the presenter questions which he answers LIVE!! \u00a0We were excited to see Primary 5a also ask questions! \u00a0 We saw a sarcophagus, canopic jars and some other artefacts which are usually displayed in the museum.<\/p>\n
Our writing focus this term has been information writing.\u00a0 Last week, we wrote about Brilliant Barrhead sharing lots of information about where we live, the Dams to Darnley and the Foundry. \u00a0 This week we independently wrote a piece \u00a0about the Egyptians using all the knowledge we had learned about them since August.<\/p>\n
In music, we learned to play ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ on glockenspiel and bells.\u00a0 \u00a0We had to listen to each other and work together to keep the rhythm.<\/p>\n
In DLL, our readings book have been play scripts. \u00a0We have been working on expression and pace when reading out loud the plays to each other. \u00a0 We then started acting them out developing our understanding of a character. \u00a0On Monday we are going to be performing them to everyone in the class. \u00a0During independent learning time, some people enjoyed having a chance to act out other people\u2019s scripts too! \u00a0We are really enjoying acting and doing drama with our literacy lessons.<\/p>\n
During our independent learning time, we have been doing measurement with the Kapla blocks, creating intricate Christmas themed models with the Kapla such as making Santa’s house, a church and Santa’s elves with lego.\u00a0 With the circuit board we made the fan spin and it flew. \u00a0We have been busy designing an app for the Make it Happen Festive App competition!! We have been using our creative skills, thinking skills and problem solving skills.<\/p>\n
On Friday afternoon we were invited to watch the dress rehearsal of the primary 2 Nativity! \u00a0We are so proud of our family and friends in p2 who performed confidently and were fabulous and entertaining!<\/p>\n
Our Health and Well being lessons are on the theme of Relationships this term. \u00a0So far we have focused on how to be a good friend and \u00a0showing empathy. \u00a0We enjoyed identifying the qualities that would make a perfect friend and then creating the perfect potion with these ingredients! \u00a0We also enjoyed acting out scenarios showing empathy to others.<\/p>\n
Enjoy your weekend,<\/p>\n
Alfie, Arya and Mrs Sutherland.<\/p>\n
