With Hanukkah starting on 10th December, we have been learning about some of the traditions associated with this Jewish celebration in IDL lessons.
We made our own dreidels and played the dreidel game using ‘gelt’. Bilal won!
We also made menorahs. A menorah is a special candlestick with 9 candles. Jewish people light a candle on each day of Hanukkah.
In Phonics this week, we have been learning about spelling patterns linked to ‘ck’. We noticed that ‘ck’ is usually at the end of words and sometimes in the middle, but never at the start. We also worked out that ‘ck’ only comes after a short vowel.
Khadija and Kareem are getting good with their letter and picture matching!
In Maths, we have continued learning about division…
In our Health and Well-being lessons, we are still exploring the concept of trust and what it means to be trustworthy. We thought of ways that we can build up trust in relationships while building a tower of trust.
We enjoyed watching the Barrowlands Ballet performance and our Christmas Movie yesterday.
Hector had a busy day yesterday being co-director in our nativity recording and helping out with tidying up after the ballet performance…and even had time to be a friend to some of the younger kids! 😊
Today we danced our socks off outside on the MUGA with Kate the dancing Christmas tree!
The grande finale to our busy week was our Christmas party! We enjoyed some games and treats…and even had a surprise visit from Santa!
Have a lovely weekend Class 2 and see you next week!
