We have had a wonderful start to Primary 1 and everyone has settled in so well. We are learning the routines of our class and the school and have enjoyed exploring our new environment.

We are still getting to know each other and enjoyed a lovely Circle Time this week were we shared what we like to do outside of school and also something that is very special to us!

Here are some photos of us playing and exploring the different areas in our classroom.

     

     

     

     

We have been discussing our families. We have shared with each other who is in our family and discussed that families can look different. The most important thing about a family is that we feel safe and loved! We drew a portrait of our family and were so excited to see them on the wall in our classroom 🙂

We have been learning about the Rights of the Child and this links in with our Class Charter. To help us understand this we have been reading Elmer. Elmer is different from the other elephants. We learned that we are all different but we all have the same rights. We coloured in our own ‘Elmer’ to display on our Class Charter.

We went for a Listening Walk and had to listen carefully to what we could hear. We heard cars, birds, the trees moving in the wind and also a drill! When we returned to class we drew a picture of what we had heard.

   

In PE we have been concentrating on the rules of PE and how we can stay safe. We have enjoying games and loved playing with the parachute. Our favourite game was trying to keep the balls on the parachute!

    

     

Miss Regan will be teaching us about Coding over the next few weeks. She brought the Indi Cars into class and we loved exploring with them. Each of the different coloured squares give the car a different instruction. We will learn more about the coloured squares and begin to provide a set of instructions to program the car.
