This week in P6a we have been very busy. Here’s what we have been up to.

Christmas Party – it was very good and we liked doing the games – Pass the Parcel, Musical Arms and Christmas Corners. Everyone was good at the social dancing. We danced the Gay Gordons, the Virginia Reel and the Canadian Barn Dance. People had cool clothes on.
Christmas Stories – this week we finished writing our Christmas stories and read them to Primary 1 children. We made Christmas pictures with them and they were very good at drawing and they really enjoyed the stories.
2d Shape – this went really well as everyone is starting to really understand it. We made 2d irregular and regular pentagons and hexagons using art straws. When we finished our jotter work we got to use 2d shapes to make a Christmas cards as a follow up activity. We have been looking at different types of triangles and their properties – isosceles, scalene, right angled and equilateral. We are ready for more of a challenge with these!
Christmas adverts – we watched the John Lewis advert about Moz the Monster and then we had to design our own monsters for an advert and describe them.
