The youngest class in Banton Primary!
It might have been a rainy day but that didn’t stop P1/2 from enjoying the great outdoors! We gathered materials to build shelters for our Antarctic explorers and went on a winter scavenger hunt in the playground. Our friends in the Biggies built a fire pit for us so that we could cook some food the way a real explorer would. Thank you Biggies, our s’mores were delicious 😋
On Wednesday this week we had a visit from our Biggie Buddies.
They came to teach us some coding with ScratchJr. The P2’s had used Scratch last year but this was new to the P1’s.
Scratch lets us create animations and stories controlling the characters with blocks. Most of the class followed our learning about Antartica and made stories about penguins.
When we finished we had great fun watching everyone’s productions. Some were very funny indeed.
The Biggies really enjoyed themselves, you can see some of their comments on their blog:
