Hello,

 

We have enjoyed having a short week at school this week and have liked telling everyone about our adventures over the weekend.  We have learned about writing postcards, our new sound ‘i’, using ten frames and dot patterns to help our counting, 2D shapes and their properties and we have also had a circle time to extend our learning about feelings and way to express these.  In our ‘Balbardie Superheroes’ lessons we have been learning about what to do in an emergency!  We identified the real life superheroes that work in the emergency services and the Primary 2s were able to think about what equipment these people need for their jobs and how they keep us safe.

We spoke about what qualities real life superheroes must have to do their job.  This is what we spoke about:

Regan – “Firemen, policemen and ambulance drivers save the day, every day!”

Poppy – “The vet is a superhero because they help the animals when they are not well”

Leila – “The nurse is amazing because she helps people”

Millie – “The vet helps the animals, that is cool”

Brandon – “The dentist is a hero because they check your teeth and keep people’s mouths healthy so they don’t get sore”

Rio – “A doctor is the best real life superhero because they can help you when you fall or get really sick”

Ellie – “A policeman or policewoman is very brave.  They can help if a wee boy or girl gets lost, they can get them home safely”

Cameron – “Firemen put out the fires.  This makes them a superhero because they must be very brave”

Liam – “I like ambulance drivers because they help people in an emergency, grown ups too!”

Teigan – “Policemen help people.  They helped me when I got lost”

Breghannon – “Firemen help in emergencies like when there is a real fire.  There wasn’t a real fire at school this week”

Max – “The emergency services are very fast, they must be healthy!”

Marley – “Maybe when I grow up and work in McDonalds the firemen will need to come and put out the fires, the firemen will have jobs for years!”

Rory – “The lollypop man is an important superhero because they keep people safe when they cross the road”

Romeo – “Policemen can keep the roads safe – if someone goes too fast they can tell them to stop!”

Rocco – “Firemen can climb up ladders to help people if they are stuck.  They can’t be scared of heights”

Jonah – “Doctors are a special superhero because they help people and save lives”

Keegan – “Teachers are real life superheroes because they teach us everything we know!”

Leah – “A vet is my favourite superhero because they look after animals.  I would like a hamster, the vet would look after my animal”

 

Even though it has been a short week we have learned lots!  We are all looking forward to more exciting learning next week!
