Primary 1b’s Scotland Assembly
Primary 1b wanted to learn more about our country and so decided to do a mini topic on Scotland. We loved sharing our learning with our parents at assembly.
We sang some Scottish songs and some of us performed the Canadian Barn Dance.
We also taught our parents some facts about the Scottish Saints from our school house system. We hope they were impressed.
P1b and p1e love working collaboratively to develop ICT skills.
Primary 1b and 1e enjoyed working together on the chrome books to develop their ICT skills. They practised logging onto GLOW independently and accessed Education City to revise Literacy and Numeracy concepts taught.
I enjoyed learning to match the rhyming words together.
