Christmas Lunch , by Mrs Fletcher

Date: 12th Dec 2018 @ 6:43pm

It has been a lovely day . The Bongos have earned 3 class compliments today for their wonderful behaviour, I am so proud of them!

Jsut before we headed into the hall for our Christmas Lunch we had a festive sing song, with The Twelve Days of Christmas being the winning performance.

In the hall  the children were all able to pull a cracker whilst enjoying their school Christmas lunch or packed lunch with their friends and lots of Christmas music.

This afternoon was film time with the whole school joining together to watch the film Wonder, the Bongos all picked up on the important messages in the film- ask them to share their thoughts with you.

Another busy week, by Mrs McLennan

Date: 7th Dec 2018 @ 4:35pm

We have been continuing to work hard this week. We’ve written letters imagining that we were soldiers in the trenches. We used our history skills to find out lots of information and discovered if it was primary or secondary evidence. We used this knowledge to add detail in our letters. Yesterday we had a visit to the library and listened to Tom read some Christmas stories- they made us laugh out loud. We’ve also been busy learning about fractions.
