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. 
We have had a super week….Our Read, Write, Inc. studies are progressing well and in our Maths we have moved on to Addition and Subtraction within 20.
With December round the corner we have also been really excited to begin our rehearsals for the Christmas play in a few weeks. Our singing is coming on really well and we are learning all the actions too!
For the Christmas fayre we enjoyed designing our own elf door hangers and Christmas tree decorations – we hope you like them!
We have had a lovely week in Rannoch class…we enjoyed ‘super crunchy’ time on the Trim Trail with the frost early in the week. We found it surprisingly warm in the early winter sun.
We have also progressed in our learning of the initial sound ‘s’.
In our Beyond Number studies we looked to 3D shapes in the world around us…next week we are moving onto learning about displaying data through tally charts and block diagrams.
We also had a lovely time in the sensory room and enjoyed listening to relaxing music in class.
We are also really proud of our gifts for sale at the Christmas Fayre,,,we made glitter painted glass tea lights holders with Christmas ribbons…we think they look lovely!
Its amazing how Ness Class can lead their own learning! Stumbling upon an article during our Afternoon Group, the pupils were keen to learn about Fondue- what is it and where did it originate. We used our Floorbook to plan and organise our very own Fondue tasting session.
As you can see from the pictures, we found it…
‘interesting’ -Lochlan
‘super crunchy tasty’- Dominic
‘lots of tasty bites’- Laura
‘I put sprinkles on my fondue’- Hunter
‘I like the orange’- Shay
‘Thumbs Up’ – Nathan.
We were lucky to have our P7 Prefects in to help us with our tasting session- we found they enjoyed the event too!
Another busy week in Primary 1.
It is Catholic Education week and we have been learning about this years theme :
“Pilgrims of Hope”
We started our class talks this week in class and we all did very well.
We had another great session with our Primary 7 buddies, using the potato characters we made last week as inspiration we created comic strips together.
On Friday those of us who brought in our bank letter got to put our money into our account and collect our piggy 🐷 bank. Remember the school are paying £1 for every child so send your form back.
We have all worked very had on our Christmas 🎄 enterprise and are looking forward to seeing everyone at the school fair tomorrow.
First week back at cooking club and it was savoury week. Both Primary 5-7 and Primary 1 groups made chicken 🐔 noodle 🍜 soup.
We worked with partners to chop vegetables and put it all together to make soup. Using lots of different skills then cleaning up after we finished cooking.
Lots of us tasted things for the first time, we are super proud of each other.
