P1/2 October Reflective Friday Mrs Stevenson/Mrs Byrne | Holy Family Primary and Nursery Class

LITERACY

P1/2 have been working so hard over the past month, on their letter formation and writing. They have also been using their experiences to help them with their picture plans and visual clues. For example the children were very excited about their up and coming school Halloween Party and so together we decided that it would be a good idea to make posters to advertise. When their writing was completed, the children went with their buddies to display their posters around the school to remind everyone about it. Great work everyone!

Here are our Star Writers of the month…Great work P1/2 keep it up

MATHS

Children are continuing to have fun as they learn about number through the seal S.E.A.L. Approach to learning and are enjoying developing their number formation and counting skills in a variety of ways.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING

P1/2 had a visit from their lovely dental Nurses, who showed them the correct way to clean their teeth. The children have been following instructions and taking responsibility so that their mouth gums and teeth stay healthy.

P.E. Emotion Works and Interdisciplinary Learning

Throughout October, we have been looking into the ‘H’ that represents ‘Healthy’ in our ‘sHanarri Wheel. Bringing together Emotion Works and Shanarri , we are learning about how our emotions work and how they can affect us and others in positive and negative ways. We are also learning what these emotions might look and feel like and how we can recognise them.

Here are P1/2 Learning about Emotion Works and displaying and encouraging Healthy Emotions in P.E. As they help and include each other, the children are learning how their positive behaviour can begin to change how others feel, for the better.

ART/MINI-TOPIC: HALLOWEEN

The children also had a fantastic time working on their mini topic and learning about Halloween. As they prepared for their party they created lots of fantastic artwork for the wall displays and moving images to hang in the classroom and take home.
