Just a little reminder that tomorrow afternoon is our Dojo Reward ‘Party in the Park’.  Children can bring a small snack and a teddy.  The weather is looking good but please remember to wear sun cream and bring hat/water if possible.

We have been so busy this week with all our Big Talks.  The children were absolutely fabulous getting up in front of everyone and telling us all about their families.  We really appreciate all the effort put in from home with their posters and photographs.  They looked so good we have put them up on display but don’t worry, we will make sure all your lovely photos are returned before the end of term.

We had great fun playing with the ECC children during our Numeracy morning on Wednesday.

In maths we have been exploring Measures such as weight, time, length and capacity.

We also had great fun outside learning about Minibeasts

It’s been a very busy week and we are all excited for our holiday tomorrow.  Enjoy your long weekend and we will see you next Wednesday.

We have reached our 4000 Dojo Points so we have planned to go to the park and have a teddy picnic party on Wednesday 31st May.

On Thursday afternoon the ECC children came up  for a visit.  They played so well with the P1s and we all had a lovely time.

Here are some of the other things we got up to this week.

Just a little reminder that next week is our Big Talk week.  Each child will give a 5 minute presentation to the class about ‘Me and My Family’. (see previous post or letter for details)

A busy week in Primary 1 with lots of super learning. In maths we have been working on symmetry and patterns.

Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’.  This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class.  The topic will change depending on the focus for that term.  This term our Health topic is Myself and My Family.  At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk.  They can bring in photos or posters to help them.

Some ideas to include in their talk might be:

• A photo or drawing of themselves. Talk about them – What they like? Dislike? etc.
• Photos or drawings of their family.  Who lives in their house? Any pets?

The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg Monday 22nd May. More details will be given shortly (please check Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.  Talks will be on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

We look forward to hearing them!

We had the first of our transition afternoons this week when the children from the ECC came for a visit on Tuesday and Thursday. The Primary Ones did a super job of playing with them and showing them around the classroom. They were helping them to build models, make things at the creation station and we even had someone reading stories to them in the book corner.

This week we have been learning about 3D shapes such as cubes, spheres, cones and cuboids.

Have a lovely holiday weekend and we will see you all next Tuesday.
