We have been having so much fun and we’ve been working very hard in Primary 1a! Mrs Baty is very proud of us!!

We have been learning all about pattern. We know that pattern means ‘it is repeated’. We have been making patterns with colour using counters / cubes, and we have begun making patterns with shapes. We also made a pattern using ourselves!!! (sitting and standing).

Today we read the story of Elmer the Elephant. Elmer was sad because he was different from all the other elephants. He painted himself grey, but quickly realised that by embracing his unique personality and his colours, he was happier and he made everyone else happier. We then spoke about what makes us all special and unique. 

We had some brilliant answers:

Joshua – I was really good at football when I was wee

Olivia- I am very good at swimming and gymnastics

Ben – When I was younger I went to football and I was really good

Toby – when I am a grown up I am going to be a really good  fireman

Rian – I am really good at football

Roman – I am really good at football and I can go under the water

Daniel – I am really good at football

Leo – I’ve played in lots of football games

Tyler – I am good at swimming underneath the water

Matthew – I am really good at football

Lucas – I am good a lot of games

Daniella – My daddy’s daddy used to live in Sri Lanka

Lennox – I can jump in the swimming pool from really high

Abdullah – I am good with my bike

Hugh-John –  I am good at swimming

Julia –  I am a perfect ballerina

Nadia – I am good at ballet

Dermott – I am really good at painting

Arran – I can speak snail

Ava – I am really good at football

 

We then decorated our own Elmer in our own unique way. We were excited to add glitter to make them super special.

Last week we made our beautiful Rainbow Fish, whilst learning about how to be kind to each other by sharing. Our Rainbow Fish look ‘amazing’, ‘fantastic’ and ‘beautiful’ on our wall.

We have also been learning to draw a self portrait. Don’t they look fantastic?
