Thie week P2 have been writing a letter to Santa’s head elf! They are awaiting a reply which they are excited to recieve.

In money we have been looking at adding in 2ps, 5ps and 10ps. We have also been looking at different ways to make a value using our mild, spicy and hot approach.

In PE we have been exploring the St Bernard’s Waltz. We hope to use this dancing style at our Christmas Party which is on Wednesday 19th December in the afternoon.

Please note, P2J/M are now doing PE on a Tuesday and not a Wednesday.

In P5 we have been focusing on Financial Education over the last few weeks.
“In Numeracy we have been learning how to use money and how to add and subtract with money. We have learnt new strategies.” Lucy
“Most of the school have been given accounts books and you get pretend money for wages. Then you have to pay your bills and fines. You can buy treats.”   Usman
“We have learnt about the importance of money and why you should make sure you have enough money before you buy something.” Joshua

We have been learning about other things too!
“We have been learning about earthquakes and what causes them.” Hailey
