This week students have displayed their public speaking skills; showing bravery and courage to speak in front of their peers. In English, we have also investigated letter writing and discussed the difference between formal and informal letters. During Maths, students have been collecting and representing data using pictographs. We have also explored interpreting their data and discussing their findings.

Here are a few pictures from our Math’s lessons this week. The students have been working very hard to collect data, represent it in a variety of ways as well as share their reflections with their peers. The students really enjoyed being able to move around the classroom and collwct their own data by asking questions like ‘What is your favourite pet’ and ‘How are you feeling today’.

We have continued to discuss Advent during Religion lessons and looked at the connection between the Advent calendar and Mary and Joseph’s journey into Bethlehem. You might have noticed that Advent calendars have started coming home. The students have been working very hard on their calendars with each day in December having an ‘act of kindness’ challenge. We encourage that the students open up each day of the calendar starting Friday as we will also be following along in class.

We were SO excited when we recieved a parcel from the office on Thursday. We were sent an elf to be with our class. The children wrote letters to welcome him and to come up with a name for him. On Friday we turned up to find him hanging from our roof with some Christmas decorations. Welcome to 1SA and 1EJ Ollie the elf.

On Friday we got to participate in our Nature play incursion. It was a beautiful sunny day. The children emerged themselves into all the different activities
