At the beginning of the new term we had our business meeting to decide what we wanted our house corner to be. Jenson chaired the meeting and Macie took the minutes. Everyone had lots of great ideas but in the end, after a fair vote, it was decided to turn it into a Starbucks. Everyone has been busy designing and creating different parts of the coffee shop for play. We designed the outside and inside, we have a drive through window with a headset to speak to the customers, a road and some cars. We made menus, snacks, cakes, drinks, ice cubes, a fridge for storage and lots more. We look forward to having lots of time to play and learn in our new area.

A new term in P4/3
We have had a very busy start to the new term.
Out new IDL topic is Our Community. We started by looking at the difference between our wants and needs. We now know that our needs are the things we require to live and be healthy whereas our wants are things that make our life more comfortable.
We then investigated the services that are available in our Community to help with our wants and needs.
Jorja – We have a doctors surgery
Siena – We have fire fighters
Amber – We use the Vets
Jenson – There is a police station
Evan – We have shops for food
In maths we have started our work on Multiplication. We used lots of practical equipment to help us learn different strategies to help us. We can use repeated addition, skip counting and arrays. P3 have been working on the 2 and 5 times tables and P4 have been working within the 3 and 4 times tables.

The New Year got off to a brilliant start this week in Ness. Getting back into our routines helped focus our minds back to enjoying time with our learning friends.
In reading, we have been exploring non fiction texts. In writing, we have been focusing on New Year Resolutions and presentation. Our Number learning is multiplying by 2 and 3 this week. We are also linking this to repeated addition allowing us to go beyond 2×12 and 3×12.
The highlight of our week was baking today. Our class chose Shortbread biscuits and we look forward to tasting them tomorrow.

Catholic Education Week Mass
On the 25th of November a group of children represented our school at the Catholic Education Week Mass in Edinburgh. They had a lovely day travelling by train and attending a special Mass at the Cathedral. We went to the shop afterwards and purchases rosary beads and prayer cards for each class. All children were a credit to our school and we were so proud of how they showed our school values. Some members of the public even commented on how kind and well-mannered they were! Well done everyone!

Panto time p4/3
We really got into the Christmas mood after watching the pantomime. We went to see Sleeping Beauty at the theatre in Bathgate. It was a great day. We enjoyed booing for the nasty queen and cheering for the huntsman and Snow White. The dwarves were very funny.
