Having Fun in Primary 1

It’s great fun in Primaries 1 and 1/2, as some of the children found out recently when they paid a visit to their classrooms. There was a whole new selection of toys and activities to investigate and experiment with which all the children tried out with great excitement – Easter art, fun number activities on their Promethean board, exciting stories where the children helped to tell the tale … just so many fun and different ways to learn. We hope that you agree that the children look very comfortable and settled in this exciting new environment – definitely the ‘confident individuals’ we want to nurture. Thank you to Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Campbell for making the children feel so welcome. They all thoroughly enjoyed their visits.

Easter Crafts

Easter craft activities were very popular last week with children and their families as Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised some fun with coloured paper, glue and pipe cleaners. It was great to see lots of children and their families take part. Thanks, as always, to Eileen – we are sure that everyone enjoyed your super activities.

What Will You Do When You Are Grown-Up?

Before we started our World of Work week we talked to the children about the types of jobs they might like to do when they are grown-up. We have already shared some of the ideas from the Sunshine Room so here is a selection from the Rainbow Room.

Joshua M: I want to be a footballer. You need skills with the silver football.
Max A.: a fireman – you need to be good at putting the hose out.
Sian: a hairdresser. You have to be good at cutting.
Kacey: I want to run a shop. I need to be good at counting money.
Max L.: a policeman – you need to be good at running to chase people.
Ben W.: I want to be a farmer. You need to be good at milking, feeding the cows and driving the tractor.
James: I want to be a builder. You need to be good at making cement and be good at building.
Finlay: I want to be a train driver. You need to be good at blowing the whistle.
Thom: I want to be a footballer. I need to be good at kicking the ball.
Emma: I want to be a vet to take care of animals and make sure they stay in overnight if they are injured.
Orla: I want to be a police girl. You have to chase and arrest people if they’ve been bad.
Brogan: I want to fly an aeroplane.
Owen: I want to make sandwiches at Subway. I’ll have to count the money.
Keegan: I want to be a fireman putting out fires.
Peter: I want to be a policeman and take bad people away.
Olivia: I want to have a job in the kitchen making sandwiches.
Kobi: I want to be a policeman. I’d have to drive the cars.

I wonder what they will all be doing twenty years from now?

Field Sports

There has been great excitement about the new outdoor equipment on the school field in the last few weeks so some of the children have been trying it out in small groups. While out there, football was also popular with some and they enjoyed being able to score a goal in the goalposts. As you can see, the children showed great skills and confidence in tackling some of the challenging equipment.
