The children have been learning about the numbers from 0 to 100. There have been lots of practical activities, games, paired work and online activities to support their learning.
They have all done so well and are always keen to work hard in class. We are lucky to have such an amazing selection of resources to practise number skills in so many different ways,
P1/2 are making the most of the fine weather and getting outdoors to explore the local environment. On Friday we all headed along the road and down the hill to the beach in the Strom Road.
The children were so engaged and really enjoyed themselves. There was so much to do. Lots of digging, making dams, finding treasure and great excitement finding little creatures that live in and out of the water.
The children brought their snack to the beach with them to allow more time there for exploring and playing.
There were opportunities to develop those gross motor skills by climbing and balancing safely on the rocks.
Most of the children managed to go over the top of their wellies at the edge of the water so there were lots of soggy socks and trousers by the end of the morning. To be fair to them their wellies aren’t very tall.
These three had a great idea and took off the soggy socks to go for a paddle.
None of them complained though.
The sun stayed out for the whole morning and the children had a great time. The sheep were very entertained by the children on the walk back.
We hung out some washing to dry for a bit back at school.
What a busy and fantastic first day you the children have had. Here are some activities captured on camera today for you to see.
