Last Week of Term 🎅🎄
Ahead of the upcoming Christmas break, Room 3 have been enjoying getting festive. During our play, we had opportunity to explore the theme of winter and Christmas through different experiences. Three stations were set up, all focussing on an area of winter or Christmas. In the construction area, learners had the chance to design and build Santa’s sleigh or workshop. In the creative area, resources were provided for children to write and create their own Christmas card for friends and family. A challenge was also set up using different building materials such as cotton wool, cups, baking paper, drawing paper, Lego and cubes, which allowed pupils to use their imaginations to create a Winter Wonderland. Have a look at some of the fantastic builds/designs that we came up with in these play stations.
This week, Room 3 have also been focussing on the non-number topic of measure. We have been excited to explore different ways to both accurately complete and discuss measure when investigating dinosaurs. We used non-standard units to carry out measurements on dinosaur toys, pictures, footprints and eggs. We have been learning about heavier and lighter, taller and shorter, longer and smaller, as well as what the word ‘equal’ means. Items used to measure were objects such as cubes, pencils, paper clips, counting animals and rulers. We even had a challenge using rulers too.
To finish off the term, we had a fantastic party this afternoon with the rest of P1. We are all definitely feeling festive and ready for the holidays.

Room 9 Christmas Party
Today we had a fantastic time at our Christmas party. We were all dressed in fancy clothes while Mr Allen was funny because he looked like an elf.
At the party we got to dance and play games, our favourite dance was the Koukou Move and our best game was Christmas Corners.
It has been a very busy start to Primary 3 so we all deserve a well earned break over the holidays. Mr Allen says thanks for all your support so far and also for your kind generosity. Room 9 wish to say a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025 to everyone!!

Room 24
On Monday we did our last ever primary school Christmas concert and we think it went really well! We had so much fun, especially dancing to Run, Run Rudolph.
We have now finished our planet artwork with Mrs Reilly during Science. They are looking fantastic, if we do say so ourselves, and Miss Napier can’t wait to put them on display outside our class. We used stencils, acrylic paint and sponges to create them. Take a look at the photos below to see some of our work!

After weeks of practising, Room 3 were so pleased to be able to perform our Nativity, ‘It’s a Party!’, for our families this week. We all worked so hard to learn many songs and rehearse our lines and we are so proud of the performances on both Tuesday and Wednesday. We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did!
Thank you to all parents and carers who took the time to help practise lines in preparation for the show and also for providing costumes.

This week we have a double blog update, we hope you enjoy!
6/12/24
This week we have been practising for our Christmas show. We have been learning actions for our songs. We have been practising our songs each day our songs are super. We have been learning Makaton for our songs because we want to be inclusive for everyone. We have been practising on the stage and the teacher is going to the back of the hall so we speak and sing in our loudest voices for everyone coming. We all have lines to say and are trying to learn them off by heart.
We have also been learning about simple jumps and dodging in dodgeball. We played cross the river to practise our new skills and then played matches, it was very fun.
I hope you had a super week.
