Road Safety Week 2019

For Road Safety Week we had to create posters to instruct others on how to cross the road safely.

We decided there were 5 steps to cross the road safely. These were:

  • Stop – to make sure there is no traffic coming
  • Look- right and left to see if there is any traffic coming
  • Listen- for any traffic that might be coming
  • Think- is it safe to cross now?
  • Walk- to make sure we cross safely without tripping

Our Assembly

On Friday we had our P3 assembly with P3b. In our assembly we were talking about Plastic Pollution. In class we read the story of Duffy the Sea Turtle and in our assembly we recreated the story. The key messages from our assembly were:

  • recycle plastic items
  • be kinder to our oceans
  • using paper items instead of plastic
  • bring your own bag to the shops
  • pick up litter
  • use re-usable plastics
  • reduce plastic use

We created a song about our key messages and sang it during our assembly. We created a video about plastic pollution which retold the story of Duffy. We used Microsoft Power Point to create a presentation and turn it into a video.

World Book Day

Primary 1 had great fun celebrating World Book day – even if it was a bit late due to the snow!

On Thursday we had an author visit us – Jennifer Gray who wrote ‘The Adventures of Ermine – (who is very determined)’ was very interesting and we all enjoyed listening to her and asked some excellent questions.

On Friday we took part in our whole school World Book Day assembly and we wore our Goldilocks and the Three Bears masks.

Kayden, Josh, Joe and Bobbi read out their writing about Goldilocks.

Bookbug Library Visit

Primary 1 went on an adventure to The Foundry today.  We all enjoyed going on the bus to the library to get our P1 Bookbug bags.  Heather read us three stories -‘Little Owl’s Egg,’ ‘The Fourth Bonniest Baby in Dundee,’ and ‘Gorilla Loves Vanilla.’  Everyone listened well and enjoyed the different books.  We then voted on our favourite – it was ‘Little Owl’s Egg.’

Writing

We enjoy writing stories every week.  Today we wrote about about catching a ball.  We went out to the playground and practised throwing a ball to each other.  We were very good at it.

We drew a detailed picture and our teacher scribed our story for us.
