It’s been another busy and fun-filled week in P1/2!
Our Drawing Club story this week was Peace at Last by Jill Murphy. We drew Daddy Bear, Daddy Bear’s bed and then imagined a place where Daddy Bear could have slept to finally get some peace!
Our Big Question this week was ‘How have I changed?’ We talked about the different stages of life and all the things we have learned to do since we were babies. We then created a simple timeline showing the different parts of our day.
This week’s Play Project has been Under the Sea. The learners have created some fantastic artwork, models and books — and even designed a game!
There has been lots of fantastic play happening across our classroom too. Barbies have been very popular, with the learners creating a myriad of stories about the lives they are living. We’ve seen lots of animal habitats and enclosures being constructed, while our home corner became a very busy ice cream shop! There have also been plenty of drawings, stories and other works of art being created.
Following on from our painting last week, we added coloured water to the messy play area. It was great to see the learners exploring colour mixing again, this time in a completely different context.
We have also added game time to our afternoons, when all the learners sit down together for a calm activity before home time. This gives everyone an opportunity to transition gently from school to home, while also practicing important skills such as taking turns, following rules, communicating with others and, of course, winning and losing gracefully!
Lots of learning, creating, imagining and playing in P1/2!
