This year our Christmas Craft will be a Chocolate Biscuit Reindeer! We all had so much fun making them!

My favourite part was…

Peyton: “to bash the cookies.”

Alexander: “”when we were just bashing the cookies.”

Milosz: “in the kitchen mixing because it looked like nutella.”

I learned about …

Abbi: “how to make stuff.”

Alan: “to bake chocolate and cake.”

Emily: “how to make Rudolph cakes.”

Chelsea: “how to use a recipe.”

Morgan: “when we were using the butter we were using our measuring skills. We used a set of scales.”

Sara: “We were learning how to be safe with food.”

Dominik: “how to be a chef.”

Next time…

Mia: “Get better at the stirring bit. It got pretty hard when the cookie went in.”

Primary 3/4 worked in pairs to create a Roman Catapult. After everyone had made their catapult we launched them in the gym hall! We all had lots of fun creating and using our Catapults. Take a look at our See-Saw for videos of our Catapults!

What were you learning?

Louise: “How to make things.”

Dominik “We were learning about Roman defence and attack strategies.”

Chelsea: “Measure when we were launching them.”

What skills did you use?

Leon: ” We were using our skills to measure and work together.”

Leon: “We were checking how far they went and using our measure skills”

What was the best part?

Holly: “When we were making the catapult.”

Callum: “Making it”

Louise: “Designing it and making it.”

Julia: “When were launching them.”

The boys and girls in P3 were very lucky to receive their Read, Write, Count bags today. This bag is filled with lots of great learning opportunities. The bag includes:

– Picture Atlas

– story book: There is no dragon in this Story

– Story Cubes

– Ocean Commotion card game

– Notepad and pencil

– Parent Guide to games and activity ideas.

We hope you have a great time using these bags at home!

At gym this week P3/4 worked in pairs to practise counterbalances and in groups at fitness stations. Our focus is to develop agility, balance, coordination and strength.

Primary 3/4 were learning how to measure classroom objects in milimetres and centimetres.  We compared our answers and learned that 1cm = 10mm.  Next, we are going to learn how to measure in metres.

In maths we have started a new topic, Measure.

What did you learn on Monday?

Sara: “We were learning about measure length.”

Mia: “I learned that we could measure lots of stuff. Some are hard some are easy.”

Something very important in this topic is using a ruler properly. Can you remember the rules for using a ruler?

Milosz: “That you don’t start at the beginning you start at the zero on the ruler.”

Louise: “Always put the zero at the start.”

The class worked in small groups to create an animal height chart.

Alan: “1 person held the start, 1 person was gluing in the animals, 1 person was drawing the line and the last person was holding the end.”

Chelsea: “We drew the chalk where the animal was.”

Leon: “We used a measuring tape to see where the animal was because the height was on the picture.”

I’m as tall as a…

Sara: “rhino”
Chelsea: “penguin”

Alexander: “the penguin.”

Leon: “just at the rhino”

Dominik: “the rhino”

Kian: “a was over the penguin”
Emily: “I was as tall as a penguin.”

This afternoon whilst their parents were discussing the Sacraments, children from P2/3, P3/4 and P4/5 helped to create some beautiful artwork that will be displayed in the Church.
