What a quick week it has been? The children have been super excited all week. They have worked very hard this week in all their activities.
At the start of the week we had a visitor in class. Mrs Hipsey came in to help us to design our very own Christmas themed plate. All the designs were fantastic. They can’t wait to take them home and start using them over the Christmas holidays. After the children had used the porcelain pens and paint Mrs Hipsey whisked them away to bake them. They have arrived just in time.
We all attended our Christmas party this week too! They all look so smart in their party clothes. We joined Primary 3 and 4 to dance away to Christmas tunes and play some party games. There was a very special visitor at the party and he gave all the children an early gift before his rounds on Christmas Eve.
This week we also began to make our very own viking helmets. This process is still ongoing and will be finished the first week back. We thoroughly enjoyed the paper mache experience and we especially enjoyed the mess.
The children have also explored visual literacy this week. We looked at two winter themed pictures and discussed how these could be turned into a great story. The children had some great ideas. We made sure to include similes and adjectives to make our story more interesting. We discussed what characters our stories would include and describe what they would be like.
The children have been fantastic this week. They have had an eventful and creative week! I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and I am looking forward to seeing you all again in 2020.
