In this first week of Advent, Class 2 have enjoyed getting a sweet from our Advent calendar each day and decorating our class Christmas tree today.
Well done to Subhan, Kayden and Mrs Bennett for wrestling with the fairy lights!
With St Andrew’s Day on Monday, we continued are Scottish theme as our focus for IDL.
In Literacy, we wrote an imaginative recount of what it might have been like as a soldier at the Battle of Bannockburn. We used our senses to help us to describe the experience.
We also did a bit of our own re-enactment of the battle…
Khadija and Kareem have been busy hunting for letters and making and sounding out words this week.
Also as part of our IDL unit, we made and drew our own Loch Ness monsters and sang some Scottish songs. We also started learning to play the Skye Boat song on the glockenspiels.
In Mathematics this week we made the link between finding a fraction of a group and division. We have started looking at arrays as a way of showing division.
Our PATHS/Health and Well-being focus for the week was ‘trust’ and the importance of building trust when developing relationships.
We thought of five people we trust in our lives…
Today we baked some oaty biscuits, two of which should have found their way home in a school bag…unless they were gobbled up on the way home!
Kareem made a fabulous creation in choosing time today!
In addition to biscuits, Nativity scripts went home in everyone’s school bags today. If there is time on the weekend to practise lines, that would be wonderful. We are recording our performance on Thursday.
Have a lovely weekend!
