What a fun and action-packed week we\u2019ve had in Primary 1a!<\/p>\n
In PE, we\u2019ve been working hard to develop our movement and balance skills using benches, mats, and hoops. We\u2019ve been climbing, jumping, balancing, and exploring different ways to move safely and confidently around the gym hall.<\/p>\n
We also had a visit from our music tutor, who taught us all about pitch and beat. We explored pitch using chime bars\u2014we noticed how the size of the bar changes the sound\u2014and used shakers and maracas to keep the beat while listening to a song from Encanto<\/em>. It was so much fun moving and playing along with the music!<\/p>\n In the classroom, we\u2019ve been very creative this week. We designed our own space pictures and wrote about our journey into space, describing all the amazing things we could see up there in the stars!<\/p>\n In literacy, we\u2019ve been learning two new sounds: \u2018r\u2019 and \u2018m\u2019. We\u2019ve enjoyed discovering the actions and stories that go along with each sound, helping us remember and use them in our reading and writing.<\/p>\n In numeracy, we\u2019ve been making continuous patterns and spotting them in all kinds of places\u2014on clothes, in nature, and even in our classroom! It\u2019s amazing how patterns are all around us.<\/p>\n A highlight of the week was a special visit from our grown-ups! They joined us for a Health and Wellbeing lesson where we learned about “Doing the Turtle”\u2014a calming strategy that helps us pause, breathe, and think before we react when we\u2019re feeling upset. It\u2019s a great technique to try at home too!<\/p>\n We\u2019ve worked so hard and had such a great week\u2014we\u2019re definitely ready for a well-earned rest.<\/p>\n Happy holiday weekend from all of us in Primary 1a!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a fun and action-packed week we\u2019ve had in Primary 1a!
