Today we thoroughly enjoyed watching our School Nativity. While, this year has not been our usual type of nativity show, the children took part in rehearsals, practised their action and mime and recorded a fantastic British Sign Language performance on the day of filming. Excellent effort boys and girls! 🌟

Today we even got to enjoy a chocolate lollipop, thanks, Miss Ferguson! 😍

This morning we practised our BSL song ‘Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ for our nativity then filmed it with Mr Green. Can you believe we only needed two take? Boys and girls, you were tremendous! 😀

Later on, we designed and created our 3D Christmas cards for someone special and added some sparkle. 🎄

In the afternoon we had a different sort of party day with socially distant games with prizes, tasty treats then a virtual elf visit. 🧁

The elf knew all about Woodlands and how well we have been working which was a great surprise! We even got a surprise gift to take home too. Despite the restrictions, we still made it as fun as possible while staying safe. 😀

Have a relaxing weekend and I will see you on Monday and Tuesday for our last days of term in 2020. 🎄

Today we managed to miss the rain and got to enjoy some outdoor time for Daily Mile. We are trying to improve our physical fitness by walking/jogging/sprinting faster and doing more laps. During this time, children are encouraged to take part in races or fitness games. In addition to this, we practised our song actions then gave Mr Green a sneak peek into how good our BSL actions look.

Everyone came to school wearing their Christmas jumpers and thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch. Thank you very much to the kitchen ladies for our tasty turkey and pudding. 👍🏼

This afternoon, Primary 4 took part in their Reindeer Dash to raise money for CHAS. Our antlers even managed to stay on after a little rain. We finished the day off by writing some creative Christmas acrostic poems. Fantastic boys and girls! 😀

Tomorrow it’s Christmas jumper Day as well as having our Christmas lunch! 🎅

Today, we were developing our comprehension strategies and using look, say, cover, write and check to accurately spell our Christmas vocabulary.

In Maths, we practised our mental strategies of addition and subtraction in doubles and near doubles.

Yesterday, Primary 4 loved another week of outdoor P.E developing our balls skills playing football. We practised our drills, passing and receiving the ball to our partner then set up our gates to practise movement with dribbling.  Fabulous Football! ⚽️

As part of our topic this afternoon, learning about Christmas around the world, we discussed our own Christmas traditions and focused on how Christmas is celebrated in other countries. Our next step is to research a country of our choice and make comparisons. Well done boys and girls! 🎄
