We enjoyed our visit from our local Librarian this week, she came to read us the bookbug stories and we got to pick our favourite. Our favourite was I am bat.
Here is a clip of the story…
We had a special visit from an elf this week, his name is Eddie.
Eddie said that he needs our help with some tasks as it’s very busy in Santa’s workshop.
We had to help Eddie sort lots of toys because the Elves forgot which force you use to make them move. First we had to learn what a force was and then we investigated the toys and sorted them by push toys and pull toys.
We then made our own toys because Eddie said there were lots of lists coming in and they needed help to make enough toys. We used our creativity and imagination skills to design and make the toys.
Some of the toys we made were- a castle, a robot, a boat and a rocket.
Following on from this for our writing lesson we made a poster to encourage children to put the toys being made in the workshop on their list. So we had to write about what the toy looked like and what it could do. Our persuasive posters were super and we think the children will know exactly what to wish for this Christmas.
In numeracy we have been learning all of the ways to make 9.
How many ways do you think there are to make 9.
This game could be played at home to help with learning the different ways to make a number.

We have continued practising for our nativity and we are busy learning our actions and words. Our singing is super and we can’t wait for you to hear all of the songs.
Just a little reminder that costumes should be brought to school by Monday the 3rd of December.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 1B.
Another fun week, thanks for the update. Connor and Liam were delighted to have Eddie the Elf visit and just loved making the toys.
