The Christmas Story

This week we have been learning all about the birth of baby Jesus.

 

 

 

Building Houses

As part of our Three Little Pigs Topic we designed houses. This linked to our materials topic in Science.

 

We had to build a house that would stay standing even if the Big, Bad Wolf came and tried to blow it down.

 

 

St Andrew's Day

As part of our "Key Events" History topic, we celebrated St Andrew's Day.

 

We watched a traditional Scottish dance, a Ceilidh.  We had lots of fun. We had to make sure we were in time with each other when we were turning round.

We worked on our fine motor skills. We made tartan paper chains; we joined them together and made a huge paper chain for our classroom.

 

We learnt how to sketch the Loch Ness Monster. Some of us believe the story of the creature; others thought it was a mythical creature.

British Values Week

During the last week of the half term we focused on British Values.

Each day we focused on one of the Values.

We also started to look at and label a map of the British Isles.

 

Day One- Democracy

 

 

Day Two -  Rule of Law

Today we made our own rules for the school.

 

Day 3- Liberty

We learnt about being proud of ourselves and risk taking.

 

 

Day 4 - Mutual Respect

 

Today we looked at all the different religions and cultures which make Britain so Unique.

 

 

Day 5 - Tolerance

We discussed how are tolerant of each other and how we can be tolerant. We then read a story about Jesus and how he taught his disciples to be tolerant.
