This week Sparkle has left us lots of challenges.  She made a story on the Mighty Writer Board and we had to write it out in our trios and then record it on Chatterpix.  The next day she left us a detective activity where we had to solve clues using our maths skills to find out who had stolen the reindeer bells.  It was Neville the Naughty Elf (he was a toymaker).  Today she is practising her maths and concentrating on her times tables.  We have had a busy week with our Christmas lunch and making snowman pictures from a worm’s eye view.  We are reading the Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher and it is a good book.

 

Here are some of our learning highlights from this week.

Aoife – I liked making the lanterns after we learned about Christmas in China.

Daisy – I learned how to do the worm’s eye view and about Christmas celebrations in China, France, Japan and Germany.

Olivier – I learned how to draw a snowman.

Patrick – I learned that in Japan a Buddhist monk named Hotei-osho acts as Santa.  Some people think he has eyes in the back of his head.

Marriyah – I learned that in Germany on 5th December children leave out their clean shoes and ST Nicholas fills them with sweets.

Joshua – I learned how to sign the Christmas songs.

Josh – I learned that some people in China don’t celebrate Christmas.

Miss Stebbing – I was proud of P3A when they were writing an imaginative story about an elf going on an adventure.  They tried their best to use adjectives and most people remembered capital letters and full stops.
