R.E – P1/2 , Our Lady and First Friday Mass
P1/2 worked very hard to prepare for their First Friday Mass. This being the Month of May, was a very special month to honour Our Lady. The children read beautifully and all contributed to the mass very respectfully. You should be so very pleased and proud of what you have achieved, boys and girls especial our P1 children who have taken part in their ‘First Friday Mass’ for the very first time. So proud of you all, well done P1/2.
NUMERACY
and Outdoor Learning
As the weather picked, up the children looked forward to getting outside to learn about numeracy . They used a variety of resources to help them in their learning. They really enjoyed being outdoors and had fun learning about number in a different way. Great work P1/2.
LITERACY
Grammar in the Garden
P1/2 are having fun with their Literacy too, particularly when they headed outdoors to their classroom in the sunshine. Working together in groups, pairs and individually, the children worked hard on their reading, writing, talking and listening skills and found that this kind of learning helped them to relax, focus and enjoy their learning even more.
STAR WRITERS
As the children look forward to summer, they’re learning reflects this and one of P1/2’s Summer topics will be ‘At the Seaside’. The children have made their very own Passport, included important information and as the temperature gets warmer, P1/2 have made Eco and/Sun Safety Posters to display around the school, to remind us of ways to save our planet and also of the precautions we should take to stay Safe in the Sun.
ECO/HEALTH WEEK, TOPIC AND INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING
Literacy/Health and Wellbeing /People Place and Environment/ Expressive Arts
After hearing and discussing the story ‘The Rainbow Fish’ which is a story of friendship, happiness, morals, values and sharing, the children made their own ‘Rainbow Fish’ and as Health Week approached, their discussion and active participation continued as they learned about ’emotions’ and the importance of keeping their ‘mind’ as well as their ‘body’ healthy.
Healthy Whole School Picnic
Our class had fun on Thursday as we made our ‘healthy’ corn wraps with ‘healthy’ fillings, for our Whole School ‘Healthy’ Picnic in the afternoon. We couldn’t go outside because of the rain but still had a great time with our blankets, teddies and friends, when we had our picnic in the hall instead. Above are some of our pictures.
…P1/2 also decided that they would like a quick, final practise of their races before the School Sports Day on Friday.
SCHOOL SPORTS DAY
Our P1/2 School Sports Day Pictures (More to come)
P1/2, you all had such a great time at our School Sports Day. In particular we had a wonderful display of good sportsmanship. What a fantastic way to end Eco/Health Week.
We also did our very best to use this week to think about natural ways that we can be kinder to our environment and our planet as we go about our daily lives.
