Primary 1M

We had a very interesting Czech Language lesson this week
from Sophia’s Mum. She visited us on Monday afternoon to tell us some lovely
Czech words for greetings, colours and numbers. Then she read us a children’s
story in Czech. It was about a tree with sad feelings because part of its trunk
had been worn away. A cage was put round the tree to protect it. The tree felt
much happier after that!

We have started our new “Garden” topic for this term. We are
finding out about different types of trees. We learned that the “Elder Tree” is
very common in Britain. Its creamy-white flowers open out in July (Jack’s
birthday month) and its black berries come out in September (Ranna’s birthday
month). We also found out that insects don’t like the smell of Elder leaves. (We
have a lot of pretend minibeasts in the class garden!).

On Thursday, parent visitors helped us to make flowers for
our garden display. We arranged petals around our photograph and wrote a word
in each petal to describe what we are like. We added a stem and leaves to
complete our flowers.

We’re having difficulty posting our pictures on the blog so watch this space for some to come once we get the problem fixed.
