This week we learned about some of the Christmas traditions our families have. We made our very own stocking and have hung it up in our classroom. Hopefully Santa might have some extra time to pop in and fill them for us. We have been trying really hard to make sure we are behaving really well.

On Tuesday we got a very special letter delivered to our class. Jingle the head elf at the North Pole wrote to us asking us to find out how the children in Germany celebrate Christmas. He left us tickets for the magical Polar Express train to help us get there. We had a great time in Germany and found out that boys and girls leave out their shoes instead of hanging up stockings.

We have been learing about 3D shapes. We used different 3D shapes to build some amazing models.

In Primary 1 we have had another busy week. We had lots of fun performing in our school show this week. We are also getting really excited about counting down to Christmas by opening our class advent calendar.

We were very busy this morning using our special magnifying glasses to hunt for words in our reading books. We managed to find lots of two and three letter words and also some words which have  our new sound ‘b’ in them.
