Well it’s that time of year again, we have been very busy elves as you can see, here are just some of our fab December experiences…
Social Studies
In December we were writing about the Great Fire of London. We were talking about when is started and how it started and we found out that it started on the second of September nineteen ninety six and it started in a bakery.
Literacy
In December we do something called media, this is when we watch a film trailer and we complete our literacy strategies from it. At the start you watch the trailer. We are doing a new film called Ferdinand: it is about a bull that doesn’t want to fight and he gets taken away from his home, the setting is in Spain.
Expressive Arts
On the 12 of December 2017 we had a Christmas concert which every class participated in. Our class did two songs which were Slade – Merry Christmas Everyone and Wizzard – I wish it could be Christmas Everyday. We had a blast singing our songs. We also went to the pantomime to see Jack and the Bean Stalk in Motherwell Civic, the whole school went and enjoyed themselves.
Room 13 recently had their Christmas party on the 19th of December with room 12. We got to show off how good we were at Scottish country dances by doing the Canadian Barn Dance and The Dashing White Sargent. We got time to dance at the end to our favourite songs and we all dressed up very nicely.
Christmas Jumper Day
On Friday 15th of December we all got to wear our own Christmas jumpers to school. Throughout the day we did lots of fun activities related to Christmas. At assembly we got to work co-operatively and design our own Christmas jumpers. We all paid a £1 to help raise money for the Les Hoey Dreammaker charity. In class our teacher held a competition for the best design and the person got an art set as a prize. Well done to our competition winner Zoe Rattray and our runner up winners Sophie Liddell and Lily Shaw. WOO HOO!!!
Food Hamper
At the start of December we were doing something called a charity hamper where we brought food, cosmetics or something else in from home every Friday until it was full. Every class did it then we took our hamper to the gym hall to give to a family in need.
Room 13 and Mrs Guinness would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Stay safe and we will see you all very soon. Bye!!!
