Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee from P4

This week we learned some French vocabulary for Christmas words and that traditionally they give presents on Christmas Eve.  Le Pere Noel (Father Christmas) delivers them. French children put shoes outside their bedroom door and Santa fills them with sweeties.

We’re looking forward to our Christmas party tomorrow.

The children of P4 ended the week by having a special school Christmas concert with candy cains given to them by Fred the Elf. We’d a very busy week putting on a wonderful show.

Next week all clubs are off.

Advent

We’ve learned about Jesus and why he is the reason that we have Christmas.  Craig said,” that advent means arrival of someone important.”

“Advent begins 4 weeks before Christmas,” Ellie shared and it’s the start of the Christian new year.

Louie added, “People put up advent calendars to count the day until Jesus’ birthday.” 

Whitelees Christmas Concert

Nervous, energised, confident, happy, smiling, excited, different and enjoyable are some of the words that P4 used to describe how they feel after the first performance of the week.

Come see us on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday evening. Please check with the office to see when tickets are available.

Growth Mind Set

Primary 4 children have been learning about Growth Mind Set and how to persevere when finding out about new subjects or learning new skills.

Logan says if you keep keep trying then you will get it right. Luca thinks if you watch something then you can try your best to do it too. Craig liked playing memory games to improve his score. Many of the children got better with practise but we need to keep trying.
