Making Gingerbread Men
We decided to make Gingerbread Men for part our Fairyland Topic. After learning measure in Numeracy, we were able to practise our measuring skills!
Road Safety and Book Week
This week P1/2 have been doing a number of activities to help them keep safe on the roads. Soft play had a road safety theme too including a road safety game, practising on a toy zebra crossing and cutting out bright clothing to be seen.
The children were out at the zebra crossing practising Think,Stop, Look and Listen and the Green Cross Code to help them cross the road safely. They then had to peer assess each other on how well they did. We then went for a little walk to look at safe places to cross the road.
In PE, the children acted out different vehicles and also had to listen for traffic noises and stop when they heard them.
For Book Week, the children listened to five book stories (The P1/2 books which they received today). They learned how to write a book review on their favourite book today.
P2 listened to the P1 reading and today the class went upstairs to the P3/4/5 class who read them storybooks too. The class also went to the mobile library today.
Most of the story books, which were read to the children this week, had words in them that rhymed. In co-operative groups the children had to find words that rhymed too.
The children have enjoyed this week. Â I heard, today was the third best day ever (probably beaten by party days!)
Skinny Tyres
P1/2/3 improved once again their cycling skills when Scot Tares from Skinny Tyres came to our school.
The children revised how to check their bikes and then they were off!
They practised going in and out of cones and hand signals too.
Thank you to Scot once again for an enjoyable morning!
Easter Activities
P1/2/3 made marvellous Easter bonnets and brought them into class!
They also learned the Easter story, decorated eggs and went on an egg hunt in the park to practise their addition skills.
Skipping
We have been learning how to skip because this was popular in Victorian times.
The children have learning to do this individually, with hoops and with two manned skipping rope.
They have been learning rhymes such as Jelly on the Plate, Sweeties in the Jar, I am a Girl Guide Dressed in Green… etc
Mrs Allardyce Visits
On Wednesday we had the pleasure of Mrs Allardyce visiting our class.
This term our topic in Health has been Medicines and Safety with these. Mrs Allardyce kindly talked about this and the different medication available.
The children got to try inhalers, use syringes, pretend giving injections and looking at different medicines. (No medication was involved)
Thank you Mrs Allardyce!
Fitness
P1/2/3 have been working on their fitness. They rotated around different circuits doing different activities in order to get fit. They aimed to raise their heart rate, get hotter and have a red, sweaty face.
Making Fruit Smoothies.
P1/2/3 continued making healthy snacks this week and made fruit smoothies.
We looked at the journey the different types of fruit had made to come to the UK.
Then we got down to making the smoothies and tasting them!
