We had lots of fun in the infant area this morning when our pre-school children visited Primary 1. It was lovely to see all the boys and girls looking so happy and confident, as they moved around some fun activity stations.
We began the session With Mr O’Donnell telling us the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Then we had lots of fun as we explored the story further through some activity stations. We sorted some magic beans by matching the beans to the correct colour of cup.
We used our counting and measuring skills to check how long the beanstalk was. We used the giants footprints and Jack’s footprints to measure the beanstalk. Some of the boys and girls noticed that the giant footprints were much bigger than Jack’s.
Then we tried to see who could make the biggest beanstalk using our fine motor skills.
We practised counting by counting the number of seeds we ‘planted’ in each pot. Then we counted how many cubes long some of the leaves on the beanstalk were.
At the end of the session our buddies came along to meet us! They brought along some booklets for us with photographs of different places in the school. It was lovely to see how mature and responsible the buddies were, and lots of them are already asking when they will get to meet up with their P1 buddy next!
Well done to all of our pre-school children on a very successful visit to Primary 1. We look forward to welcoming you again very soon!
