We have had a busy week in Primary 1 and are very excited by our new dinosaur theme. The responses to Professor Rex’s showed us that the children had a keen interest in finding out more about individual dinosaurs. This week we have been finding out about the Tyrannosaurus Rex and will include facts about him in our individual fact files.
Our dinosaur investigative area is now set up and the children are enjoying free play between all 3 classrooms, exploring the different dinosaur related activities that are on offer. We have been exploring the job of a paleontologist and used toothpicks to pick the chocolate chips from cookies! The children were concentrating so hard and were so focused in this activity.
Some children will have received a key ring with some key words on it for their reading. Please practise these regularly – these are words that may not be phonetic and need to be learnt by sight.
