We have had a great first week back in person in P1! It was so good to see all our friends and teachers again.

In Numeracy, We enjoyed making our own pizzas in our fractions lesson and picking our favourite toppings. We were identifying halves and quarters of an amount and sharing items equally. Miss Gorman’s class enjoyed creating paper plate cakes and practicing sharing.

In literacy, we enjoyed lots of activities using our new sounds ‘ee’, ‘oo’, ‘l’ and ‘r’. We identified these sounds in words, made our own words using the new sounds and enjoyed working with a partner to play the literacy games.

In Health and Wellbeing, we discussed the food groups and identified healthy and not so healthy foods. We worked in groups to create plates of the foods we should eat all the time, sometimes, and only a little of the time. This activity made us all very hungry!

Mrs Howley’s class enjoyed a ‘Senses Scavenger Hunt’. We discussed our five senses and used this to find things we could see, hear, touch, taste and smell in our playground and in the classroom.

We learned all about Fairtrade on Friday and how we can help the farmers get a fair price for their goods. We looked at the Fairtrade symbol and the foods that we might find in our supermarkets that support this. We made our own Fairtrade lunch boxes.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and can’t wait to see you all on Monday!

Mrs Howley and Miss Gorman.
