Happy New Year!

Primary 3/4 are glad to be back at school and are ready to learn!  They have been exploring the concept of money this week and have been totaling amounts.

In P.E they have been learning how to hold a tennis racket and have been using their hand to eye coordination, to control the tennis ball.

The snowy weather allowed for a very slippery “Walk a Mile.”   It was more like “Slide a Mile!”

Christmas in P3/4

The boys and girls in Primary 3/4 have been learning all about the features of Christmas this week.  Each morning when they open their class Advent Calendar, the children have been performing acts of kindness as well as enjoying a delicious sweet. They have been helping in and around the school by offering to tidy out their class.  On Tuesday, the boys and girls visited the nursery to showcase their learning.  This involved them presenting their Christmas poetry in a way that is engaging for the nursery children.

Today’s learning experience involved the children using a range of media to create Christmas Crackers.  The children have also made Angels and researched the symbolism of Angels in the Nativity story.

Nursery Christmas Party

All the boys and girls came into nursery looking very smart in their party clothes today. When they came in, our elf; Chippy, had been eating our party sweets and taking ‘elfies’ on the iPad. He even left us a note to take some ‘eflies’. The children enjoyed taking ‘eflies’ and even got some on the staff to take ‘elfies’ with them. We all then went into the hall and danced lots and showed off our super dance moves. All that dancing was hard work, so we had a rest with some yummy snack and ice cream! Then a special visitor came….
