World of Work Week

Today the children thoroughly enjoyed their visit from the Fire Brigade.  They loved meeting the firefighters and they learned lots about all the equipment they use.  It was very exciting seeing the fire engine, especially when the sirens were on!  It was a very inspirational and motivational visit.  Here are some photos linked to the learning.

World Book Day!

We had lots of fun dressing up for World Book Day!  In class the P1 children were creating their own books of their favourite animals!  The P2 children were uplevelling some of their imaginative Katie Morag stories from last week to create their very own Katie Morag book.  They also had to create a front cover with the relevant information and write an interesting blurb for their stories.  In the afternoon the children enjoyed some fun drama activities with Miss Diansangu who is currently working in our class too!  They confidently presented their role play demonstrations in small groups to the rest of the class.  I was very impressed with every group!

Pancake Day!

The boys and girls in P1/2 had lots of fun making pancakes in class!  We were measuring the ingredients very carefully.  The pancakes tasted delicious which I am sure you can tell from the very happy faces in these photos!

Where can we buy food?

We have been learning about the different types of shops, such as butchers, bakers, chemists, green grocers and supermarkets.  This week we received another letter from Space Monkey asking what Shrove Tuesday was and why we celebrate it.  So we decided to teach Space Monkey some facts.  We also decided to take Space Monkey to our local Tesco store to buy some ingredients to make pancakes at school!  In Tesco we enjoyed looking at the different areas and we split into small groups to each find an ingredient.  We then bought our ingredients using money, we had to choose the correct coins.
