CURAMUS

The Doctor will see you now…

Or nurse or health visitor or radiologist. Whoever you might want to see on your visit to the Primary 1 Health Centre, will be available so long as you book through our receptionist.

Primary 1 have been learning about the world of work. They have worked with staff to develop a health centre role play corner where they are exploring the different roles of people that work in this setting. They are using their drama skills to act the part of various health care professionals or patients. They are learning to take care of patients of all ages with all ailments. They are having a go at writing for a purpose when they book appointments, take patient notes, fill in records or write prescriptions. They are using fine motor skills to apply banadages, operate medical tools and swaddle babies. They are counting medicications and working out times for appointments. They are creating posters to inform patients of healthy lifestyle choices. They are doing all of this while communicating with each other, taking turns and sharing.

 

Along side this play area, Primary 1 children have the opportunity to explore sand and water play. They have been filling, pouring and measuring as they prepare to learn about weight and capacity.

I wanted to write a blog about all the learning and skill development going on in the play area as I’m sure if you ask the children, “What did you do today?”, they’ll reply “We played!”.

 

Perfect Patterns

January 25, 2019 by Mrs Marletta | 0 comments

Primary 1 are learning about pattern. They have been looking for patterns in the world around them, in buildings, in nature, in their own clothing (school ties are a great example!).

Today they had a go at creating their own patterns. They used shape and colour to create different repeated patterns. They used peg boards, beads, shape boards and arts & crafts to bring their patterns to life. They also used the interactive boards to complete a pattern challenge.

Ask them about what they learned today. Why not have a go at creating your own patterns, we would love to see what you come up with!

Active Maths

Primary 2a have been learning all about weight this week and how to sort items from lightest to heaviest! We have had lots of fun completing practical activities and becoming human scales to weigh different objects with our hands!
