Our new sound today was “e”. Michael had eggs for breakfast and Mrs Collins helped him crack them in the pan. We listened to the story of Elmer the elephant and made our own colourful elephants by sponging brightly coloured paint.

In primary 1 we were thinking about words with the “k” sound. One of our “k” words was kite. We made our own kites out of paper plates and when they were finished we had great fun flying them on the field.

Today we watched some flamenco dancers clicking castanets. The noise of the castanets sounded like our new sound…..c……k….
We started to read the story of the Enormous Crocodile and made our own crocodiles to take home .

P 1 and P2/1 were very excited today because Mrs McGilp brought in her stick insects. One of the insects had just shed it’s skin. Mrs McGilp told us that the stick insects like to eat ivy and privet leaves. Some of the insects were so well camouflaged that they were difficult to see among the leaves.

We have been using our sounds to build words.

We have been talking about different feelings. This week we thought about times when we might feel sad and what we could do to make ourselves feel better. We shared ideas on how we could help others if they felt  sad

.

Feeling Sad

We have been sharing different stories in class about Kipper, his sister and brother, Biff and Chip. Kipper’s real name is Christopher but when he was little he couldn’t say Christopher, he said Kipper instead.

Biff is actually called Barbara and Chip is David. Biff and Chip are twins.

We will be reading lots of books, together and on our own about Biff, Chip and Kipper and their adventures.

Our new sound in primary 1 today was “n”. It was too noisy for Michael so  he wanted  to wear some ear defenders!

Mrs Collins read us the story of Mr Noisy and we made our own Mr Noisy to take home.

During circle time today we talked about what makes a special friend. Here are some of our ideas ..

a good friend is kind. ..helpful ……someone who makes us laugh …… someone who plays with us ….looks after us if we are sad or hurt.

Today we started creating our own miniature woodland. We filled our trays with compost and then used stones to make a pathway through the woods. We then looked for different sticks, leaves and feathers to make trees and bushes.
