We were called for our flu vaccinations at 9.30 this morning. Everyone was very brave ☺️ The boys and girls are very pleased that we still made it to P.E 👍 Your child will have a note in their homework folder confirming whether they have received the flu vaccination or not. If a child did not have written consent they will not have been vaccinated today.
The children were all very keen to discuss the recent fire at Mearns Primary. We took the opportunity this afternoon to explore fire safety and decided to write a letter of thanks to the fire service. This letter has been sent for the attention of Clarkston fire station. As you will be aware, the fire service arrived within minutes of the fire being reported and as a result our classroom was left unharmed. We are very thankful for the work that they do.
We also met two nurses who came to our class and spoke to us about CPR. They showed us how to help someone when they’re not breathing. We practised this on our teddy bears. We pressed our teddies chest to the tune of “Baby Shark.”
This week has been Health Week in school. 1.4 had a visit from a doctor , who spoke about his job in a hospital. The children told him about some of their trips to hospital too. We then got to listen through a stethoscope , try on a mask and put bandages on each other. Thanks so much to the doctor ( the dad of a P.1 child) for popping in to see us.
We had a great time outside today writing numbers, counting objects, ordering numbers and making patterns. We were very glad the rain stayed off for us too!
The class chose something they would like to learn about. After some discussion, they chose ‘aeroplanes ‘. In Art we made planes of various sizes and colours. We took them outside and flew them. It was very exciting and we had great fun. In our next lesson we’ll measure , in steps, how far each plane flew. We’ll then make a graph to show our results.
Today we had a leadership assembly. Boys and girls from our class and across the school have been chosen or volunteered to be part of a school group.
Today we were practising both our number and letter formation. We are continuing to focus on correctly forming numbers to 10 (although we are now exploring numbers to 20) and today our sound was ‘g’.
The children often draw, write or make something in our mark making area. This might relate to the sound or number that we’ve focussed on. We’ve got a lot of children who are keen to draw too.
In our roleplay area we opened a hairdressers today. We enjoyed getting some lovely styles for the weekend !
