A big thank you
As our end of term class reward, Primary 1/2 chose ice cream. It was very welcome in the hot weather and everyone enjoyed it.
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Mainlands Shop for very kindly donating the ice cream to our class.
Challenge can be hard but rewarding
This term we are going to learn about challenging ourselves, how we can overcome challenge and how it will make us feel when we do. We started with a challenge yesterday. We had to make a tower using playing cards, it was fine if it was a small tower but a lot more challenging if we were to make it bigger! We decided that it’s good to work as a team. We have decided that it’s good to give ourselves some challenges, keep trying them until we can do them and then set some more.
Celebrating our achievements
Today we had our first celebration assembly. Mrs Inkster awarded each class with the following certificates. Everyone has contributed so well towards these things. We are very proud of our achievements so far.
Free time…..what to do I wonder?
We had some free time today and chose to do lots of different things. Nothing was set, it was all our own interest. This is how we kept ourselves busy. We had a picnic, made chilli chicken, pizza in a pan and used the pots for musical instruments.
Some of us made a city, an aeroplane, a car and people out of construction materials.
Others decided to write letters and colour in, taking great care to do their best, as always.
A few of us went fishing, designed tractors, did jigsaws and found dinosaurs.
Inventors and designers were also in the classroom. A tv is important in our eyes so it was important to design a tv with magical day and night tv screens at the same time. It was just as important to have the switches, control panel and sockets at the back of it!
ERIC Time
We have really enjoyed our reading sessions over the past few weeks. The children have got much better at choosing suitable books and have tried really hard to persevere and sound out tricky words. They enjoyed reading different types of books…but the Oxford Reading Tree stories were still a firm favourite! The P1 pupils loved having the chance to spend time reading with their buddies. They were very patient and supportive. A huge thank you to our volunteers who came in each week to help us. You were a great help and we appreciate it! Happy holidays and….keep on reading!
Galley Shields
Three P1/2 pupils had their shield designs printed and used to decorate our galley! Well done Kirsty, Jasmin and Honey. They look great!
Celebrating success
Jasmin chose the Fine Motor Skills “Moon Shoes” activity when playing today. She was very proud that she had tied the laces by herself, well done Jasmin! This is an excellent skill to learn and now you can be a helper for all those laces that become undone in P1/2!
Show and Tell
On Tuesday, we had our last group of children sharing something they were proud of.
Yet again, P1/2 have shared a wide variety of things they are proud of and it was really interesting listening to all of the questions our audience had to ask them afterwards.
Scott showed us a model of Titanic that he made with his Dad. He said it was very tricky to make and paint.
Rohan told us that he has been learning how to play chess with his Papa. The class were very interested in how to play the game and Rohan did well to explain the aim of the game and all of the things you can do.
Kirsty told us how proud she was of her Granny’s knitting. She brought in photos of the different items made and we were treated to seeing them in real life too!
Scarlett showed us a little container she got recently which had chocolate inside!
Ella brought in a rosette and cup that she won at a horse riding completion. She loves the “running race” the best!
Show and Tell
We were wowed again this week with the 2nd group of children sharing what they were proud of.
Ruby is proud of her singing and sang a beautiful song for us. She later told me that she was also proud of her writing and showed me some lovely work in her little notebook.
Freya was proud of the scarf she had made for her new toy and Peter brought in some super photos and a map to tell us all about how proud he was of his climb up Bennachie in Aberdeenshire.
Honey brought in a lovely picture that she made of a chameleon using her blow pens. It prompted some super questions from P1/2, asking what a chameleon was and where you would find them.
Andrew brought in a trophy that he won at the Dunrossness Flower Show. Well done Andrew!
P1/2 are proud of you all for sharing these with us.
