Fruit Smoothies!

On Tuesday we made a fruit smoothie.  We each chose a fruit to add to the smoothie and chopped it up into small pieces.  The children in class 1 are great at preparing food and understand how important it is to wash our hands before touching food.   Miss Barrie is very pleased that the children in class 1 have been trying hard with their cutlery skills.

We used kiwi, apple, pear, grapes, watermelon and orange juice to make our smoothie.  We took turns to add the ingredients and press the button on the blender.   Some of us liked the taste of the smoothie, and some of us didn’t.  Cameron and Miss Barrie loved the smoothie!   There was some fruit smoothie left over for Cameorn’s mum to taste but Cameron loved it so much that he drank it himself!

This week for Home Learning, we have to list or draw the ingredients that we would use to make our own fruit smoothie.  We will share our smoothie ideas with our classmates and maybe get to create some more smoothies in class 1!

At snack time, we have been talking about our favourite fruits and learning that fruit and vegetables are good for our bodies.

Dance Club

During Tuesday playtime, some of us chose to go to Dance Club.  The girls in P5 helped to teach us some new moves.  We especially enjoyed how technology was used to help us learn.  The dance video was projected onto the wall in the gym hall.  This made it easier for us to see and copy the moves.  Miss Barrie and Mrs Stewart enjoyed joining in too.  Maybe we will try some of our new dance moves at the Christmas party!  

Swimming

Miss Barrie, Miss Cameron and Miss Robertson are so proud of everyone in swimming group 1.   Everyone has been trying very hard with dressing independently.  This week the adults were so impressed, as everyone participated in the big pool swimming lesson.   Some of us felt a little nervous at first as our feet couldn’t touch the floor, but after a while everyone was too busy having fun to notice! 

A Very Special Visitor!

On Wednesday, we had a very special visit, from a very special baby!  Jayden’s little brother came to visit class 1.  We were so excited to hear that Baby Jenson was coming to class 1.  Jayden was great at introducing his friends and family.

We know how to care for babies so we made sure to use quiet whispering voices as he was fast asleep, and we didn’t want to wake him up.  We enjoyed looking at Baby Jenson’s tiny face.  Lewis and Cameron thought that he looked just like his big brother!

‘His face is just like his face!’  Cameron

We enjoyed touching his soft blanket.  We know that babies like soft things.  We sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Lewis even read his favourite story to baby Jenson.  We asked lots of great questions.

‘Does baby Jenson have a buggy?’ Cameron

Miss Cameron and Miss Barrie feel very proud, as the children in class 1 are always very well mannered, and make visitors feel very welcome.

Have a nice weekend and remember to read over your Christmas Party story.
