Month: October 2019

This week, we have been learning about “Diwali”- the biggest hindu festival. It is the Festival of Lights & Colours. We loved watching the Diwali story & singing the Diwali song. We made “diyas “- little lamps made with paper (which was very tricky, especially folding the paper).  We worked on beautiful Rangoli patterns & tried to make Rangoli with shapes, marbles, colours & even with our favourite Lego blocks!

What could be a better way to finish off an exciting week other than  Zumba? We all enjoyed the dance steps with our favourite music – a perfect balance of rhythm, beats, body co-ordination, & most of all it was a perfect recipe for fun!

In maths, we learned how to measure lengths of different objects. We used hand span, foot span & cubits to measure how long things were in our classroom. We measured books, tables & even the length of our entire classroom. It was great fun!

This week,  we learned three new sounds-l, f & b. We did our Jolly Phonics activities, sang the songs, letter formation & also practised blending the sounds to make words. Look how hard we worked on these sounds!

In P 1.1, we had lots of visitors in this Defib week. Sam the anaesthetist was our first visitor. He told us about different emergency services & showed us lots of pictures. We had fun with the doctor’s stethoscope, caps, bandages & special mask that puts people to sleep. It was fun hearing our heartbeats!

Next, we were visited by a team of nurses who taught us how to do CPR. We all watched a video & then practised CPR on our teddies. We are so proud to be CPR trained!
