Christmas Fun in P3/2

UNICEF Day for Change
In celebration of UNICEF’s Day for Change, we learned all about the amazing work UNICEF does to protect and promote children’s rights across the world. It was the perfect opportunity to also celebrate our World Inclusion Day competition. All children designed a logo for a T-shirt to promote inclusion. Overall the designs were outstanding, showing a mature understanding of what inclusion really means. The winning designs were made into T-shirts and presented today. Of course the winners were then desperate to model their designs!
Joyeux Noël
During our French lesson today P7/6 played a loop game, a bit like dominoes, using some French terms for Christmas objects and events.
We had to match the picture to the correct French word or phrase.
Bien joué!
Titanic
P6/5 have been enjoying their IDL this term, learning all about the Titanic. We have been creating a timeline of the events of the night the Titanic sank and learning about some of the jobs onboard. We have been looking at how the ship hit the iceberg and subsequently sank. We have had some lively debates about whether the Captain was at fault or not.
Today we all collaborated to make a display Titanic. We were so busy during this that we forgot to take some pictures but this is our finished result. We’re very happy with how it turned out.
Advent Begins
P2/1 are getting fully into the Christmas Spirit! We have updated our home corner to include a Christmas Tree, which children love to redecorate every day. Our writing table has become a Christmas Post Office, and we’ve been using our developing writing skills to write christmas cards and lists to post in our mini post box. We even have a new friend called Elfy, who has started bringing us a letter every day. We wonder what it will spell out!
Fun activities like this are a great opportunity for children to develop their creativity and social skills, and help them find real purpose and motivation for the writing and reading skills they are beginning to build.
