December 2020  Reflective Friday Post 

December has been a very busy month for us in Primary 1. We had set a class target to learn more about the Nativity Story and we have agreed that we have enjoyed learning about the Story of Christmas. Over the past few weeks we have listened to stories about the birth of Jesus. We acted out the Nativity in the classroom and all had a part to play. It didn’t matter that we didn’t get to sing, as we got to be actors instead! It was so much fun! We listened to Away in a Manger and said special prayers to the baby Jesus, his Mummy Mary and his Daddy Joseph.

Our next target for January will be to learn even more about the numbers up to 20. We are getting so good at recognising the teens numbers and we would like to focus on counting, reading the numbers, writing their names and putting them in order on a number line.

We had so much fun on our Christmas party day! We went to a virtual panto and got up to dance. Then we made some magic reindeer to food to help Santa’s reindeers on Christmas Eve. After that it was time for our disco with special disco lights and even more fun and dancing! We really enjoyed pin the nose on the Snowman game. When we were having our snack in the dining hall we heard bells and Santa had come to our classroom and left lots of presents for us! We couldn’t believe it! Thank you Santa and Jingles the Elf!

Primary 1 and Mrs Stevenson hope that you all have a very special Christmas with your families. Stay safe and enjoy a relaxing time!

Merry Christmas! Here are some photographs of us enjoying our Christmas Party Day!
