We finally did it. We have completed Primary One and look forward to Primary 2 in August. Thank you to all the mums, dads, grannies , grandpas and friends who have supported P1.3 over the last year. It makes our job much smoother and makes certain that the children are happy and settled in school.
Have a lovely summer holiday.
Wow! What a day! It was warm and not too sunny and we went to the stalls, the bouncy castle, we had an ice lolly and water and we watched a Show. It was amazing!
We decided to go outside to learn while it was still cool in the morning. We painted our words with water on the ground and on the walls; we used up our energy on the adventure playground ( we we had been sitting for a long time at the Talent Show) and we went into the Outdoor Classroom to do some oral maths. 😎☀️☀️☀️
The Finals of our Talent Show were held today. What a talented school we have – even the teachers sang ! Some children sang, some danced and some did magic. They were brilliant!
After the big storm at the beginning of the week, our pitch was covered in branches, twigs and leaves . It was the ideal opportunity to use natural resources for our learning. We created pictures, spelled and used our imaginations.
Mrs Arbuckle was cleaning out the “duck pond” and put in new, clean water. Some children came along and tried to float their Lego planes. “Can we make boats to sail ? “ they asked. Why not? STEM learning at it it’s best! We decided that we would need card, paper, straws, sellotape and scissors….and a lot of patience!
The children were encouraged to design their own boats. No instructions were given. We then looked at each of the designs and some people decided their design had to be modified or “ a big wave would sink it!” So we tried again. Next we added the sails and decorated our boats. Then it was time to test our boats. Success all round!
At ICT we revisited our skills using Active Inspire to make different pictures. We were really good at it.
We might not have our own reading books in class and at home, but we are still reading in class. It is always good to read. Here we are enjoying our “Floppy” books. We can read so much now that we are at the end of Primary One. We have come a long way.
We had the Duster Monster in class and now we have the Scribble Bots. We have to experiment with the circuits to get them to move and draw. Curious children makes for great learning.
We were looking at writing sentences with tricky words today. We remembered the full stop and capital letters. ( Phew!)
