The weather was lovely last week and we took our snacks outdoors. We sat at the picnic benches and talked to our friends and munched! When we finished, we put our rubbish in the bin and our boxes back in our baskets in class. Then we played in the sunshine. ☀
Mondays are usually exploring days in P1.3. We have new activities in class and we get to explore them. Today we are making the babies for “Mrs Lather’s Laundry”; building with the Kapla; building at the workbench; playing with games and playing in Mrs Lather’s Laundry. We also do our reading on a Monday morning too. No wonder we are exhausted at the end of the day!
We made beautiful mosques with Mrs Hillan in Art. We had to cut the dome shapes on the fold of the paper. We then had to dray and cut out a house shape with a door in it. It took a lot of concentration.
Hello!
I am so sorry that I can’t be in school this week, but I have been ill in bed with flu since we stopped last week. It’s not much fun. I have been having lots of hot drinks and sleeping a lot. Mr Arbuckle has been looking after me.
I hope that you all had a great holiday and I look forward to hearing about your adventures when I return next week.
Lots of love
Mrs Arbuckle
Happy New Year to our Chinese friends! We heard the story about all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac story. We are mostly Snakes! We made dragon masks and we got to bang the gong. Some people got a turn at being in the dragon for the dance! We are looking forward to P1.4’s Assembly on Chinese New Year tomorrow.
Some of us were busy doing calculations at number time today. We don’t need to always using our cubes -we are getting so good at calculating mentally!
We had a brilliant Burns House Challenge . Lots of boys and girls performed from the different Houses. Carrie and Charleen represented their Houses and were so good. We were very proud of them.
We were learning how to use hammer and nails in technology . We were really good at it and no one was hurt. We wore our safety goggles to prevent any injuries. We know how to hold the hammer and the nails correctly.
We looked at the properties of ice last week . We felt the ice parcels and opened them up to discover trapped teddies in ice castles! How were we going to get them out? We tried putting them in cold water, hot water, poured salt on them and just moved them about in a tray. We discovered that the warm water melted them quicker and we got to release the teddies. Lots of salt made the ice even more cold.
We also,painted some ice blocks to see what happens to the ice. It made some great patterns. We then went out for a walk around the school to see the different patterns the ice had made outside.
We had lots of fun with Mrs Fingland today. We had to jump in the puddles to the beat. We also had to sing back a story to Mrs Fingland. We love music!
