Primary 5/6 have been extra busy this month as we wanted to finish the year on a high with all our hard work.

We finished our IDL topic on The Victorians and created fabulous posters showcasing all our learning.  We enjoyed using a variety of sources to gather our information particularly, the Charles Dickens Shows from the internet.  Everyone enjoyed the art activity which involved drawing Victorian houses and using different techniques to create line, patterns and shading.

In all our curricular areas we have tried to link it to the festive season by writing letters to Santa Claus, describing our perfect Christmas Eve and learning the poem ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’.

In numeracy we have been working on Christmas coordinates with a particularly challenging Christmas Tree activity.

We have also been extremely creative this term and have made robins, wreaths, tree decorations and advent candles using a wide range of techniques.  Our Primary 5 pupils enjoyed an arts and craft session at the Baptist church and made decorated tiles.  It was a fun filled morning and the children met many new friends.

During our PE lessons we learned some new Scottish dances and danced with our peers from other classes.  We showcased our moves at our Christmas parties.

We wish all our family and friends a very happy and holy Christmas!
