Today we took lots of photos – as you can see, to record some of today’s highlights. The weather was good and we managed not only to complete our reindeer dash, but also to get outside again for some P.E. The best part of the day, however, may just have been the delicious Christmas lunch…thank you, ladies!

A Trip Down Memory Lane…
In between language and maths today, we enjoyed sharing some of our ‘Showcase Jotter’ work (from previous classes) with each other. It was funny to see how our drawings and writing have changed!
This afternoon we designed and created reindeer antlers for our ‘Reindeer Dash’ tomorrow. We are doing this to raise money for CHAS, the Children’s Hospices Across Scotland.
This is us making them.
Focused Learning
We continued our focused learning this afternoon. Engaging in the tasks that we selected. We are developing our sequencing and planning skills using media (stop motion animation), creating digital texts (PowerPoints) and practising our drawing and design skills too.
MONDAY
Today we continued working on prefixes, suffixes and time.
We took advantage of the weather being dry to get outside and practise our basketball skills, as we had had to miss outdoor P.E. on Friday.
CLOCKS
Today we focused on our spelling and learning more about telling the time in minutes past/to the hour. We made a fabulous display of analogue clocks with hands that move. We wrote the time that our hands showed in a digital display too.
We are also making progress in learning BSL for performing our Christmas song.
SNOWWW!!!
The highlight of today was getting out to play in the snow…but only after we had worked hard on our maths, language and WW1 topic!
You can see from these pictures how much we enjoyed it!
Censorship and signs!
Today we learned that letters from soldiers in WW1 underwent a process called censorship, which meant that much of what was written in a letter would be scored out before the letter reached the soldiers’ loved ones.
Normally at this time of year we would be learning Christmas songs. Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, however, we are unable to sing in class. We are therefore learning to ‘sing’ in British Sign Language (BSL).
