This week for your maths homework I want you to work on your times table facts. Which table do you need to learn or individual facts are you going to practise?

Primary 7a enjoyed making tortilla pizza for their Treat Time. They chose the toppings with some being more adventurous than others. Well done to everyone for working together and clearing up in time!

As promised here are some more photos from the Burns Supper. Don’t the children look smart! As you can see every single one of them was involved in the entertainment and participated really well. Congratulations Primary 7 on an excellent Burns Supper.

The Primary 7s from both Chapelhall and St Aloysius hosted a fabulous Burns Supper on Tuesday. More photos to follow.Primary 7a – What did you think of the afternoon? What did you learn as part of this topic and what skills did you use and develop?

Yesterday afternoon P7a went into both P1 classes to do Christmas crafts, quizzes, activities and games. They wanted to help the P1s have a fun afternoon and at the same time they were able to develop and extend their own skills. They worked well together and encouraged and guided the younger children. It was an exhausting but enjoyable afternoon. Well done Primary 7. I am incredibly proud of you.

Primary 7a had a fantastic time at their Christmas disco. Thanks very much to the DJ who made it particularly special.

Here is the website address for designing your own tartan that some of you were asking for.

We are getting into the Christmas spirit by singing lots of carols for the concert on Monday. We hope you can join us. It’s going to be an excellent night. Robbie also wrote a beautiful acrostic poem for advent,

“Advent calendars, chocs taste good

Deck the halls for Santa Claus

Value friends and family

End all feuds

Never give up on your friends

Tis the season to be jolly.”

We also did some Christmas art work for the hall. We’re looking forward to more activities next week.

Look at the websites below and play some of the games on them.  Comment on this post to say which games you enjoyed or found helpful in your learning and give a reason why.
