Primary 1 were encouraged to develop their Talking and Listening Skills during “Be the Teacher Day” on Friday. We had lots of Mr.Docherty’s in our class!
Alfie shared his favourite thing with the class : dinosaurs! He knew lots about dinosaurs and was super at pronouncing all their names. Well done, Alfie.
“Diplodocus is the biggest dinosaur in the whole world. The Tyrannosaurus Rex is my favourite dinosaur. He has big feet and can run really fast”. Alfie
We loved performing our first ever Nativity in St.Thomas’.
Through rehearsing for the Nativity, every child in Primary 1 was aware of the Christmas Story and the events which took place in the lead up to the birth of Jesus.
“I was King Herod and everyone had to sign my Census. There were so many people that had to come and sign it that there was no room for Mary and Joseph to stay.” Jackson
“The Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem to find the Baby Jesus. King Herod wasn’t happy that there was going to be a new king who was greater than him.” Mia
“The Shepherds were led to the stable to see Jesus by some Angels in the sky. They were poor but they were still allowed to see Jesus.” Daniel
“Jesus was born in a stable.” Ocean
On the first of December, we noticed a little Elf door had appeared in our classroom! We had some letters and it turned out an Elf had come to join our class! Every morning he leaves us a letter and he sets one child in the class a mission. Each of the missions he leaves us, helps to develop a positive mindset and encourages us to spread christmas cheer throuhg being kind and respectful to others.
“I love having Elfis in the class. We need to be very quiet all the time because he only has small elf ears.” Ewan
“Elfis left me a mission, he asked me to say something nice to the teachers outside in the playground and asked me to show super sitting all day. I completed my mission and he left me a chocolate.” Alfie
“Elfis asked us all to show him how to have amazing handwriting. He said his handwriting wasn’t very good and Santa wouldn’t let him help write the tags on children’s presents. We showed him how to do amazing handwriting.” Jackson
“It is Elfis’ birthday and we are all going to write him a birthday card.” Orlagh
