This month we have been getting into the Christmas spirit in Primary 6d!

During RE lessons we have been learning about the significance of the Advent Wreath and have also been creating PowerPoints about how Christmas is celebrated around the world. We also linked this to our Outdoor Learning and created Advent Wreaths made from natural materials in the forest. We have really enjoyed getting to explore the Upper Forest in the last few weeks. For the Pope Francis Faith Award, we have also been researching and sharing information about different faiths.

In Maths, the Circles have been learning about 2d shapes, the Squares have been learning about volume and the Triangles have been learning about symmetry. We have also been doing Christmas co-ordinates and problem solving with Mrs Lindsay.

For Literacy, we have written a letter to Mrs Claus asking for a gift for someone special to us, Miss Igoe thought that they were very thoughtful and kind letters.  We have also written a Christmas poem using lots of descriptive words.  We have been continuing to read our novel the Heartstone Odyssey and linked this to our drama lesson. We made freeze frames of scenes from the book and the audience had to guess what we were acting out. We also had a spelling competition to see if we could remember how to spell our words from this term correctly.

We hope you all enjoyed watching our Christmas video, we made up the dances ourselves and we had lots of fun filming it! We have also been doing lots of art activities this term, Miss Igoe is always so impressed with how good we are at drawing!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas this year and a well-deserved rest! We will see you again in the New Year!
