Tinsel Tree
Peppy our elf has been moving around our classroom a lot this week. We have found him hanging from the star, in our house points jar, in our Monday folder and hanging from the door. We were all very excited and we are happy to have him in our classroom.
This week we have also begun to learn a French song. It is called ‘Vive le Vent’ which is the French version of Jingle Bells! We worked out that it actually means ‘long live the wind’.
Jessica – “We were playing moneys with Mrs Struthers. We had to roll two dice and we were given amounts of money. The aim of the game was to collect more money than others”
Darcy – “We worked with Mrs Struthers to complete a maths workbook page. We did really well!”
Primary 4 also were given 12 drummers drumming and 4 calling birds to make for the hall decorations. We used paint and collage materials to create them and they look wonderful.
Primary 2 Read, Write, Count
This week, Primary 2 received their Read, Write, Count bags!
We were very lucky to have Primary 6 come down to our classroom and explore our bags with us. We had two fantastic story books, some finger puppets, a notebook and a game of Snakes and Ladders!
Yesterday, some grown-ups came in to see our bags and try some of the suggested activities. Many thanks to those who came!
We hope you enjoy using your Read, Write, Count bags at home!
