P5a’s Rumble in the Jungle

We in P5a have been very busy transforming our classroom into a rainforest – this terms Social Studies topic.  We hope this will inspire and motivate our learning as well as being a fun environment learn in.  We have been working hard at home too, both on our personal rainforest project and creating our 3D jungle animal – Mrs. Fullerton can’t wait to see them! Each Friday it is important to bring in our project research as this is when we work co-operatively to produce our rainforest Fact File Challenge.  To be successful learners, we must share and collate our research in order to produce our information Fact File.  It will be hard work but really worth it – feel free to come and read all about it!

Oktoberfest? No, P5a’s Decemberfest festivities!

Germany has been a very enjoyable topic for our Social Studies investigation.  And, as a special treat, we decided to sample our learning by tasting it!  Yes that’s right – we used the annual Oktoberfest as our inspiration and planned our very own December fest.  This involved preparing and making our own Bavarian Hats, Gingerbread Hearts and Gingerbread Houses. Typically, the first question asked was “Will we taste beer?” the pupil in question will of course remain anonymous !  However, great fun was indeed had by all, no beer but lashings of Ginger Beer – my little joke.  The children were actually very keen to sample some German food including; Frankfurters, Stollen Cake, Pretzels, Haribo, German Rye Bread.  I’m sure you will agree we all had fun at Tannochside’s first December fest – our pictures I’m sure will give you an insight into our special day.  Merry Christmas.  Mrs. Fullerton.
