Art – We drew our own portraits but with a twist… We Grinched ourselves! They look great outside our classroom!

Christmas Games & Movie Day – As our end of term treat from Miss Napier, we got into groups and took part in a Christmas Games Day! We played different rounds called: Snow Shovel, Hungry Reindeer, Santa Stack, Candy Cane Fishing and Switch on the Lights. We also had a tricky quiz round and an unusual game of Pass the Parcel, where we had to wear oven mitts to try and open each layer on the presents! We had to finish with a tie-breaker round the next day between two groups: the Sigma Santas and Biggie Boyz Utd. The tie breaker challenge? To create the class teacher using a balloon within 10 minutes! In the end, the winning team were the Sigma Santas!

(Miss Napier took lots of photos and will put them all on Room 24’s Google Classroom!)

STEM challenge: We finally finished our gingerbread houses and have had them on display outside our class. Pupils from across the school have been voting for their favourites. The final winning gingerbread house was made by Evie, Nina, Aaron & Max C. Well done!

P5-7 Christmas Quiz – Today, we took part in the infamous Christmas Quiz run by Mrs Webber. We were part of Team Snowmen and… WE WON! WOOHOO!

Room 24 have had a very busy week indeed!

• Our Christmas performance with room 23 on Monday was a great success – our pupils sure know how to dance!
• Speaking of dancing, we’ve been practising our Scottish country dancing over the past few weeks too, and whisked each other round the hall during our Christmas party on Thursday.
• Math learning this week has been Christmas themed with some festive fractions, percentages and coordinates tasks.
• We’ve also been taking part in a STEM challenge to create a gingerbread house out of junk modelling materials. We’ll be continuing with these next week! Take a look at the photos to see our progress!

Our weekly catch up

We’ve had a very Halloween-y time last week!

On Tuesday we had our Halloween disco at night which was fun! We listened to music and had a boys vs girls dance off, then we did a massive conga line!

On Wednesday we learned mo

re about the human body. This time it was about the digestive system. A funny part was when some of us had to try and eat 3 crackers in 1 minute without any water. It was so difficult because our mouths were so dry! We learned that the digestive system starts with our mouths and that we need the enzymes in saliva to help break down our food as we chew it.

On Thursday we created some Halloween gramographs with Mrs Lafferty. They were pretty cool.

On Friday morning we started learning more about fractions and completed a simplifying/equivalent fractions puzzle. When we managed to put the pieces together, we realised it was the shape of a ghost!

On Friday afternoon we had our Halloween class party. We played musical statues, musical chairs and a mummy game where we got into groups of three and had to cover one of our team members in toilet paper. The best mummy at the end won but Miss Napier didn’t make it easy… Each mummy had to take 10 steps around the class and so much of the toilet paper started falling off!

Hi and welcome to the room 24 blog by Aaron and Harris for last week and John and Alexander for this week.

The girls got the opportunity to start football training and some even took part in their first tournament. They did really well by winning or drawing their games!

In maths, we’ve been working with decimals and learning how to multiply and divide them.

For Halloween, we created themed neon signs using soft pastels and chalk to make a glowing effect. Take a look at the photo below to see how some of them turned out.

We’ve started our new topic – the DigiInventors Challenge set by Glasgow City College. We’ve got to design a digital device to help young people with medical or learning conditions and then create a presentation to submit. Its going to be a busy term but we hope to have some winners when they’re announced next year.

We had an exciting delivery from Katy our Active Schools Coordinator… Pickleball sets! We’ll be starting a block on this from next week and we can’t wait! Katy has also been leading the Sidekicks training for some of us, so we’ll be able to lead P1-3s in playing games.

There’s been so much going on that we could keep going on and on and on… So we’ll stop it there!

Thanks for reading!
