We are really enjoying the build up to Christmas and have been busy again this week. We were in charge of making the angels for the Christmas wall display in the hall. We decided to make ‘funky angles,’ they are more a rock band than a choir and I’m sure they will really brighten up the hall for the nativities taking place next week.
We all really enjoyed our Christmas lunch on Thursday, the food was delicious and it was lovely eating at tables with table cloths and listening to Christmas music – the kitchen staff did an excellent job and great fun was has by all!
Once we had finished making all our Christmas decorations for our stall, we had to make signs to let our customers know what we were selling and how much they were. We also added some information to entice people to buy our goods. We could choose to use card, pens and art resources or a netbook to make our signs. What a team – I’d hire them to work in my marketing department any day 🙂
The Christmas Fair was a great success and a lot of fun! Our Reindeer lollipops sold out very quickly and our decorations went well too. We reduced them from £1 to 50p in the last half hour and a group took them around the school in a basket, they sold out too – fantastic sales people 🙂 We made a profit of £79.35. Now to decide what to spend it on.
In other news this week; Miss Baillie read us a story on Monday called ‘Here Comes Jack Frost.’ P1 to P3 are helping Miss Baillie to make a wall display for the infant corridor. We summarised the story in comic strips and coloured them the same colour as the pictures in the book – all blue and white! They look really effective and tel the main parts of the story really well.
In Maths we are finishing off our addition work for the time being, we have been using our addition skills to solve word problems this week.
In science with Mrs McVay we have been exploring ‘gravity.’ We played games with balloons, made parachutes and played with paint – dropping it onto paper from different heights to see what effect it had on the paint when it landed.
E and C said their Brownie Promise earlier in the week. They brought in their Brownie bags and showed them to the class. They were very good at explaining what happened when they said their Promise too. Well done girls.
Have a lovely weekend, P3B an d Mrs Kennedy x
