P5D have had a fun-filled December with lots of learning of course!

We are so excited for Christmas and have been learning about the signs and symbols of Advent and the Nativity. We  designed Advent wreaths with natural resources during an outdoor learning lesson and made Christmas decorations in the forest! Yesterday, we put our art skills to the test and painted the decorations using glitter paint. We can’t wait to add them to our class Christmas tree!

In literacy, we have been learning about homophones. We often get mixed up with “there, their and they’re” but after our lesson, I’m sure we won’t be getting mixed up any more. We have also been learning about the features of instructional writing and wrote instructions on ‘How to decorate a Christmas tree’.  Additionally, we have been learning how to write a diary entry. P5D have some fantastic writers!

In maths, we have been working in pairs to solve mathematical Christmas problems. They were tricky but a lot of us managed to crack the code! We have also been learning about measurement, symmetry and directions using the four points of a compass. We are continuing to work on our multiplication tables to make sure we know these by heart!

Also, we are very excited about our Christmas performance on Google Classroom. It is a must-watch!! Miss Boyle and Mrs Burns said that we were all superstars!

We can’t wait to see what the New Year will bring.

Thank you for reading our blog. We would like to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 🙂

P5d, Miss Boyle and Mrs Burns.
