February Fun in Primary One

bird 2bird 1February has been such a fun filled busy month! We completed our Birdwatch in the playground and the surround area. Some of the birds we saw were crows, pigeons, blackbirds and a robin. We have really enjoyed learning lots more about the birds that we can spot in our own gardens. In February it was also Chinese New Year. To celebrate the year of the monkey we learned the story about all of the animals in the race, we made masks, watched a traditional dragon dance and even had a Chinese feast. Our favourite things to eat were noodles with soya sauce and the prawn crackers. We also celebrated Shrove Tuesday by eating some pancakes in class with a choice of toppings. We found out more about how other countries celebrate Shrove Tuesday such as Mardi Gras.
