March and April in Primary 1/1🌸

March and April have been busy months in Primary 1 and the class have all been working hard🐝.

Before the Easter holidays we had a Fairytale themed topic. A special, secret visitor came to our classroom each week to leave us treasure chest clues for each Fairytale we learned about. Below are some pictures of when we learned about Three Little Pigs and tested out technology and design to decide which materials would work best to build a house🏠.

We also learned about The Gingerbread Man and experimented some more with different materials we could use to help him get across the water without being eaten by the fox🦊!

For Jack and the Beanstalk we planted our very own beans which are continuing to grow, the class are enjoying looking after these🌱.

In Maths we have been learning about doubles and number bonds, using some different ways to practice these🔢. We are starting to learn about time and measure🕒📏.

We have been working on our sounds and Tricky Words lots!

In French, we have read two bilingual books. Arc-en-ciel (The Rainbow Fish) and Les Couleurs d’Elmer (The Colours of Elmer). The class have loved exploring French colours with these stories. We enjoyed some celery printing art to give The Rainbow Fish scales and drawing rainbows with big chalk outside to practice French colour vocabulary🌈!
