A topical take on a classic. We used our iPads to create individual images and then edited it together using iMovie. We hope you enjoy it.

In primary 1 we are continuing to use our numbercards to build  numberlines. We have begun to think about what the numbers between 10 and 20 look like and where these numbers sit on the numberline. We use our finger to count up and down the numberline and find numbers before, after and in between. Today we used the numberline to help us add numbers.

Primary 1  have been working hard on learning to read. We have been continuing to practise using our sounds to read and write small words. We have also been learning to read tricky words that you cannot sound out. In our reading groups we have been taking turns to read aloud, we have to listen carefully and follow as others read. We also complete work in a workbook  about the different characters in our reading books and make up our own sentences using word cards. We also enjoy spending time  looking at and reading  books from our class library.

We have also been enjoying the Christmas story and sharing different Christmas books together.

Primary 1 worked very hard to create this wonderful Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Door. Later in the week we will be going to look at all the decorated doors in the school.

Our lovely Christmas door.

P5 were asked to create a large Christmas display for the dining hall. This is what we came up with…

I think it’s fair to say that we have all missed out on singing Christmas carols this year!

Mrs Smith was very impressed by how hard the class worked to produce this excellent winter door. Wonderful ideas. We even linked our information reports to penguins too.

P5 used a lot of measuring and cutting skills to produce these lovely paper lights. They have taken them home to hang in their rooms.

P5 have been busy creating snowmen to take home and put in the garden. We hope lots of people can admire these on their way past our houses.

P4a designed an investigation to find out which materials made good conductors and which made good insulators.  They then used their findings to design and make a switch to control when their buzzers sounded.
