Learning about the Christmas Story

This week we have been learning about the Christmas story. We have read lots of different versions of the story. We also looked at and played with different Nativity models and we decided to make our on Nativity scene. We acted it out first and there is a picture library opposite to show our work. We then planned our frieze and decided who was going to make each part. The picture above shows our work. We think it's great. Each figure has a stick so it can be acted out.

Learning to present what we have learned

On Thursday we were invited to the Nursery to give a presentation  about Hanukka to the nursery children. We explained Hanakka was an eight day Jewish festival of lights and we sang songs and showed the children the Hanukiahs we planned and made. It was great fun and the Nursery teacher said we were very good and had learned alot about Hanukka.

Plan do and review

We love plan do and review. We get to work in pairs to plan what we want to do That means we listen to the other persons ideas and opinions and make a decision together. Sometimes it means doing what some else would like to do. We organise what we need and where to do it.We sometimes draw a plan and make lists. When we finish making and doing we stop to talk and reflect on what went well and what problems we had and how we can solve that problem the next time. We often discuss the skills we have be learning.

Please have a look at our slide show of our bat activities this morning. We made a bat box, learned that bats fly with their hands and also we created bat mobiles. It was great fun.

Bat Walk 12.10.11

 

Tonight we all went on our bat walk with our families at the back of the Firth Kirk with Sue Whitworth. We had lots of fun in the the dark chasing each other pretending to be bats and moths. We heard two bats on the bat detectors and Nell's mum saw a bat. We had lots of fun as you can see from the pictures below. Sue made us hot chocolate and bat biscuits. They were yummy. Thanks Sue for a great night out in the dark.

We have started to use Study Ladder (an online educational resource) in class as part of our learning activities.
