We are as busy as ever in P1.3. Never a day goes by without us learning something new. ( We know that children always say they learned “ nothing” in school!). Miss O’Neil was busy working with children creating a map of the local environment; Mrs Arbuckle was busy helping with making structures in the Tuff Tray; some people were “making” tools with the giant meccano; some people were making pizza for deliveries in our Pizza Hut; some people were looking at Google maps, finding the local area. We have also been to Assembly and gone over our phonics. It’s all go!
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.
We were fantastic at our Scots Assembly. We had all learned our lines, practised our poem and songs and knew the dance. It has taken us over a month to do…but we finally did it! Thank you to everyone who came along to support us. We really appreciated it.
We looked at different tartans on St Andrews Day. There are so many. We looked at the story of clans and why they were formed. We designed our own tartans using paint and cars. We also made our Scotland flags.
We have come such a long way in P1.3 and we have only been here for 10 weeks! We were talking to the children about all the different things we have learned and they started to suggest more. We also looked at our blog to remember things we had forgotten. We made a big list then Mrs Arbuckle put it onto a “ map”. We were amazed…. and we are still learning!😁😁🎓
There is always so much going in class and it is lovely to see how well the children have all settled and how they enjoy learning through play. Their discussions are second to none. They are a curious class and are encouraged to try things out for themselves as they work things out. The teachers are always at hand to give support if required, but we always ask the children to try first. The children also ask lots of questions and we adjust our planning to suit their needs and satisfy their answers. “ Why are the leaves yellow? What makes them crispy?” Let’s learn about trees, leaves and the environment they grow in! Then they asked about birds….. and so it snowballs!
We Re. Ontinuing to learn about nature with our outdoor walks. It is amazing the different things that the children think of! There is so much discussion to be had and we love looking at our “treasure” under the digital microscope.
We went for a walk after the big storm to see what we could find lying around. There were lots of big branches, leaves and seeds. We then took them into the outdoor classroom to have a closer look at them.
