Today we performed another random act of kindness in our base. We attended the Christmas Advent Service at the church with Father John then afterwards we invited the parishioners and parents over for tea and a mince pie. We entertained them by singing some of our lovely carols and spreading Christmas cheer. Well done AGAIN boys and girls. What lovely things you have thought up to do for advent this year .

We had a great time visiting the elderly residents of the Falcon Day Centre yesterday. We sang lots of lovely Christmas songs and received lots of compliments about our singing and entertaining. Well done children!!

Today Primary 6 were learning some new Spanish vocabulary. They were learning how to say animal names in Spanish. They played a game of dominoes to test their vocabulary..

“I found it easy.” Kacper

“It’s quite hard to say.” Helen

“Snake is tricky to say.” Sean

“Bird is hard to pronounce.”  Hope

Today we had our first guitar lesson. We learned about the different parts of the guitar and how to play the little g and little c chord. We had a great first lesson and can’t wait until next week. 

Primary 6 have been working on using their gymnastics skills in a routine.  Today they worked in groups of their own choice.  The routines had to include rolls, inversions, round offs, cartwheels, balances and dance. 

We ended today’s lesson with a bit of fun.

Today as we were reading our class novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom, we recognised that Kensuke and Michael had difficulties communicating.  We learned some sign language today and used this to communicate a message to each other.

Aiden: “I found it hard because you can get mixed up with some of the letters”.

Conlan: “I found it quite easy to make the signs with my hand”.

Blayre: “I was able to understand Keelan’s message”.

Gabriella: “It’s really hard to understand your partner”.

Helen: “I found it hard to understand my partner”.

Emilia: “I liked when we were challenging our partners.”
