Primary 2/1 enjoyed a Christmas movie and popcorn today. We voted for the film we wanted to see and the most popular choice was The Grinch.
We had a great morning!
Primary 6 & 7 Celebration
A reminder that it is the Primary 6 and Primary 7 celebrations tomorrow. Please ensure they wear their party clothes to school.
Primary 1 Learning
Primary 1 have learning about toys. We have been talking about toys we enjoy playing with today and what some toys were like in the past. Everyone has been enjoying playing with some examples of older toys such as wooden cards and yo-yos at play and learn time. Mrs Hardie also brought some toys that she used to play with as a little girl for us to see.
On Friday we received a letter from Santa asking us to use our imagination to design a new toy that children around the world would enjoy playing with. We began drawing our designs and adding labels to explain how they work. We are going to finish them this week and present them to our classmates before sending them off to Santa!
The class have also been busy working on Christmas arts and crafts. We made our own Christmas tree pictures using a fingerprint technique and a snowy day picture using white paint and glitter. Despite not being able to have our Christmas Fair this year, we have also created a special Christmas craft to bring home on Thursday.
Primary 4 – Christmas Crafts
As you will know, we will not be having our Christmas Fair this year to raise much needed school funds. However, Primary 4 have been busy making their Christmas crafts ready to bring home on the 10th of December for a small donation. Many thanks in advance for your continued support.
Primary 3/2 – Fairyland
Please use the link below to see the fantastic work P3/2 have done over their ‘Fairyland’ topic.

P2/1 – Fairyland
Fairyland
The Frog Prince visited P2/1 to let us know that there were problems in Fairyland and he needed our help. The 3 little pigs had lost their home and needed help finding somewhere to stay.
We made new houses for the 3 little pigs using different materials. We enjoyed it so much, we then made our own characters from the story and performed a puppet show in class.
Fairyland also needed help finding The Gingerbread Man so we talked about interesting adjectives to describe him and then made a “wanted” poster that could help track him down.
After reading the story, the Elves and the Shoemaker, we found out that the Elves needed some help measuring the feet of some Fairyland characters. We measured these in class by counting squares.
The Elves also gave us a special design job. We had to create a pair of shoes for Cinderella to wear at her wedding to Prince Charming. Cinderella was very fussy and wanted certain things on her shoes, so we needed to make sure our design had all the things she wanted.
P2/1 have had a great time helping Fairyland!
