At the beginning of Term 1 we spent time getting to know each other better. We took part in team building activities, getting to know you bingo and created self portraits in a Minecraft style. To become familiar with our new classroom we did a class scavenger hunt. We shared what our hopes were for Primary 4 and created a display with our hopes on a hot air balloon.
At the beginning of P4 we took some time to learn more about children’s rights. From our learning we chose 4 articles to focus on as a class to ensure our class is a place we can all learn. From this we created a class charter and we chose a Pokemon theme. As a class we have agreed what the children will do and what the adults will do to ensure our rights are met. We all have a responsibility to make sure our rights are met.
We have been busy learning all about our rights. We worked together to create our class charter.
Meet Muddle!
In Primary 1/2 we use the Colour Monster stories and displays to help us understand and talk about our emotions. Muddle has joined our class as a worry monster. His feelings are all mixed up and he knows how that can make things feel difficult . We write or draw our worries and pop it in his mouth, the next day they are gone!
We have a worry flow chart behind Muddle’s seat which we discuss in class. Muddle has helped us talk about our worries and reminds us who can help us in school and at home.
In Primary 1/2 we have been learning about our role as global citizens and discussing everyday things we can do to help our environment.
We came up with 5 ideas each and then made a “Promise to our Planet”. These include recycling, saving power, being careful with our water use and respecting nature.
Article 29 – Your education should help you use and develop your talents and abilities. It should also help you learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people.
