Elf on the Shelf left us a letter this morning. Santa was in a muddle trying to sort out the shapes of his presents. We had to colour the different shaped presents to help him. We learned that the proper word for a diamond shape is a rhombus, and that an octagon has 8 sides!
Elf on the Shelf also left us this little game to play….
I would like to take this opportunitiy to thank everyone for all their suport and hard work this term. Enjoy Christmas with your family and have a Guid New Year!
In maths this week, we have been doing some Christmas Puzzles.
First, we had to make some drawings and count how many legs, ears and eyes were in the picture.
We also coloured in 9 snowmen…..but we were only allowed to use 3 colours and make every snowman different! We had to think very hard!

In Learning Areas, we have also enjoyed building a snowman on the Big Board. Follow the link to play at home too.

Today, we have been reading the Christmas Story together.
Why don’t you try to read it at home too? I have set the slideshow to the slowest setting, however, you may need to pause each slide to give the children a chance to read it. We have already looked at this together in class. Please do not expect your child to be able to read every word, but they should be able to recognise some of the more frequent words and keywords.

We used the story to help us decide WHO to put in our stable.

We had great fun at our Christmas Party yesterday with our friends in Primary 2 and Primary 3. We played games and had some party food, but the most exciting part was a surprise visit from Santa!

A polite reminder from the office staff that some children have not sent in their £2 for the theatre visit on 7th January. Could you please send this into school as soon as possible?
Thanks.
On Friday morning, we are having a very special Golden Time in Primary 1. The children can bring in a toy from home to play with. Please help your child to choose a suitable toy to share with their friends…
Thank you.
The Elf on the Shelf asked us to make magic reindeer dust today – our Nursery Buddies came to help us.

At Christmas time, it is a must,
To put the magic in the dust!
The Charities Group raised over £100 pounds this morning for Save the Children. Primary 1 looked very Christmassy!
A huge well done to the children for their brilliant performances of “Little Angel Gets Her Wings.” It was lovely to see so many people there…..now it feels like Christmas!
