We have had a very festive week this week in Primary 4.

On Monday, we looked at various handwriting patterns we had previously learnt and worked on ones we felt we needed more practise on.

We made our christmas craft, which was a christmas bauble.  We were inspired by the snowglobes we made at the beginning of this term so we created miniature ones for our trees at home.  We hope you like them.

At our christmas party we loved playing pass the parcel, christmas corners, musical statues and musical bumps.  We also performed the Scottish dance we have been learning; Strip the Willow.  We loved turning of the lights at the end for an extra dance.

On Tuesday, we enjoyed watching the christmas film “The Grinch” with the whole school.  We continued working on our eportfolios. In Numeracy, we played a christmas escape room where we had to use our problem solving skills to help us escape.

On Wednesday, we practised the scottish dances Strip the Willow and the Canadian Barn Dance.  We practised our listening and talking skills by investigating what books other children in our class like.  We then chose books from the school library for other children in our class and discussed the giving and kind nature around christmas.

We practised how to wrap presents and wrote an procedural text about how to successfully wrap a present.  Hopefully they can show these steps at home and help wrap presents.

Hope you all have a lovely holidays and I will see you in the New Year. Thank you for all the kind gifts too.

Merry Christmas
