Learning through play – Primary 1.4

King’s Coronation 👑

We were very interested in learning about the King’s coronation. Our Literacy focus was to write about what we would do if we were Royalty for a day and we look forward to you reading our stories when our jotters are sent home before parents’ evening. We also visited the music room and gathered some instruments to role play a procession with our very own king and queen! 👑 During our play we took turns as soldiers, jets, royalty and horses.

On Friday afternoon, we also enjoyed a little scone with the options of clotted cream and jam. It was a lovely treat 😊

It’s all go!

Classroom design

A huge thank you to the boys and girls in P1.4 for their help last week. We decided to move our classroom around and found a lot of mess hidden behind furniture. The class helped me pick up useful resources, bin/recycle rubbish and hoover! We discussed hazards and ensured we were keeping ourselves safe. We love our new classroom layout and will post a picture of the final product next week after a few finishing touches are made.

P.E (Street)

As you will be aware, our Street P.E time has changed from a Tuesday to a Monday. Today we were practising our ball skills and explored different types of passes with our partner.

STEM

As part of ‘STEM fortnight’, we had the opportunity to use the VR headsets in class. We are all very interested in learning about creatures that live in the sea and were able to look at these through our headsets. We saw lots of fish, sea turtles and sharks!

Musicality

Mrs Kelly is continuing to visit us every two weeks for Musicality. Today we were using her rainbow bells which each have a different pitch. We were given turns at being composers and at ringing the bells.

I-Play

Over the past few days we have been enjoying our I-Play sessions. For this, we are given the opportunity to sign up to one of the following five options; I imagine, I create, I discover, I problem solve or I go outdoors. Each week we are able to change and sign up to a different option where we will be met with a variety of exciting learning opportunities through play. It was lots of fun visiting different rooms and playing with other boys and girls from primary 1 🤩
