Over the last two weeks we have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year. The children listened to the story about the animals racing to see who would have the first year named after them and they participated in craft activities to make lanterns and dragons. Everyone loved doing the dragon dance and enjoyed dancing while Rong Rong played her Chinese guitar.
P1a made very good use of the structured play area today when they were involved in a wide variety of activities. Some good role play was going on in the dressing up area and symmetrical printing was successfully completed in the art area with lots of accurate work being produced. Matthew’s big sister Nikita very kindly handed in a castle that she had previously made for a school project so that the boys and girls could play with it in the small world area – this proved to be very popular today so thank you Nikita! In the maths area the children were sorting some Goldilocks and the Three Bears pictures as well as sorting the compare bears under the size categories big, medium and small. At the literacy area, some people used the magnetic letters to write some words while others relaxed in the library area with a book! Lots of good work today Primary 1 – keep it up!
