We have had a lovely festive week in Rannoch class…We have enjoyed making festive baubles with our photo on them and we are looking forward to taking them home!
We have also enjoyed some time outside in the crisp air and time in the Sensory Room.
We have also continued with our studies of initial sounds and revised our understanding of 3-D shapes.
We have also enjoyed listening to Christmas music and songs as the festive season gets underway.
Today was one of our favourite days, Christmas lunch day! It really got us in the mood for Christmas. We all had our Christmas jumpers on and enjoyed the Christmas music. The food was delicious and it was very special for us all to be served by the P7s, thank you!
The class listened to a story called ‘Leaf Man’ by Lois Ehlert. We then created some people of our own using leaves.
Well, we’ve almost arrived in Bethlehem after many rehearsals and we are looking forward to seeing you there this week. We have been so busy, completing all our Literacy tasks including RWI reading groups and writing information reports about Santa Claus. We saw a fantastic new movie on Wednesday and ran a whole mile on Friday!
Primary 6 have been very busy this week
We presented our Solo Talks this week on various topics that we find interesting, we were also given the opportunity to peer assess. We noted the things that worked well and provided feedback on things they could do even better for future talks.
On Tuesday we got to watch a movie with the whole school. We really enjoyed it.
We started our whole school rehearsals for our carol service, we are feeling quite confident that we know our reading and songs. “We Three Kings” is the favourite.
We led Advent Mass today (Friday) and welcomed parishioners to our school. Many students had a part to play in the mass – welcoming our parishioners, bidding prayers and offertory procession.
After our mass we participated in a Christmas themed Daily Mile with the whole school, 14 laps of our playground to be exact!
Primary 4 made beautiful Christmas tree cards this week!
On Friday morning, the wholes school took part in the Daily Mile. We walked around the playground approximately 14 times which equals a distance of one mile. Some of us walked, some of us jogged and some of us ran! We even listened to Christmas music as we walked and got the chance to walk with our friends from our own class, other classes and with our siblings.
We have a great first week of advent.
We had a special visitor arrive on Monday, a class elf called Sparkles. Sparkles has added a extra bit of fun to our week. He delivered us a real Christmas 🎄 tree which we are going to look after and plant in the garden in spring time. We decorated the tree together. He has also delivered us lots of Christmas 🎅🏻 books to read before Christmas holidays as well as some chocolate puddings.
We have been learning all about the nativity story and what we do in the build up to Christmas. In class we made advent wreaths and spoke about the significance of the candles.
On Friday we joined the whole school to celebrate an advent mass. We were all very respectful and tried our very best at singing.
The whole school joined in on the Daily mile today, this was the first time we have done it but we are looking forward to doing it regularly 🏃
Have a lovely weekend.
This week we have enjoyed decorating the classroom…we have our own tree and lights and tinsel!! We have even painted pictures on the windows!
We have also enjoyed making Christmas cards with our pictures on to give to our families.
We have also taken part in the Santa run…wearing coats and wellies to keep warm and dry…with Santa hats on to keep our heads warm too!
In class we have finished our studies of 3-D shapes and are moving on to displaying data next week.
We have continued our phonics studies too…looking at the initial sound ‘d’.
It’s been a super week!
It was sweet week in cooking club this week.
Primary 5-7 made chocolate cornflake wreaths…. We hit a couple of problems but we used our perseverance and kept going.
In Primary 1 we made rice crispy chocolate Christmas 🎄 puddings, we had lots of fun and lots of tasting when making them.
We are looking forward to savoury week next week.
Some of our responsible Primary 7 children has an exciting trip to St Margaret’s High School for some transitions lessons. We left his morning and spend half a day at the high school. We were very excited when we returned and even came back to school with some tasty treats. Have a look at our photos.
