P5.17 Blog 2023/24

In primary 1.1, we have been learning about how different animals survive the cold winter. We learned all about hibernation, the long sleep some animals do to survive the harsh Winter. We were really curious & our discussion then expanded to investigate how some animals migrate to warmer places. We loved singing the hibernation song & doing all the fun activities. Our favourite activity was to make strong houses for the animals with blocks, Kaplas & Lego blocks & then Mrs Patra came with an air-bazooka & tried to break our houses. Our Winter homes for animals were really strong & we also tried the air- bazooka. It was great fun!

Today we went to the ICT room & worked on computers. We were working on how to move the mouse & how to log on to the computers. We then had a go on writing our names. We were really good at our mouse control skills!

Library lady(June), came to visit us this week. She told us many stories & gave each of us a book bag to take home! Inside the bag, there were lots of gifts for us, apart from some story books. Our job is to read those books at home & choose which one our favourite book is. We loved listening to the pop-up story books!

We were really excited for our Cinema Trip on Friday. We went to Silverburn to watch “The Secret Life of Pets 2”. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie & when we came back to the class, we drew our favourite characters from the movie. We wanted to say a huge thank you to, our parent helpers for making our trip so safe & easy!

Mrs. Patra told us that our teeth are very important in different ways. If we take care of them, they will take care of us. Strong, healthy teeth help us to chew the right food to help us grow. We need to brush our teeth at least twice a day to keep the germs & cavities away. We also know that we have to be careful about what we eat & drink…and don’t forget to SMILE!

We have been learning new words in French with Mrs. Kelly.  Singing songs and doing the actions for the different words are really simple & fun ways to remember the words in French. We are getting good at our pronunciation. Look at our different fun activities !

In P1.1, we continued learning about the changing colour of Autumn leaves. We tried leaf rubbing to get the impression of the leaves & had great fun making colourful Autumn leaves art.
