In Primary 1 and 2/1 we are still focusing on the story ‘Rumble in the Jungle’.
This week we have been investigating the Zebra and the Elephant. We made collage elephants and handprint zebras to live in our class jungle. We are getting fantastic at singing the Animal Boogie song…keep practising at home!!
It has been a short but busy week in Primary 1.
We are very busy getting ready for next Fridays Buddy Assembly. We have been sharing our likes and dislikes with our buddies and creating posters. We LOVE buddy time!!!!
We have been working hard recognising and writing our numbers. This week we have learned about the number 3 and have listened to the story of butterfly 3.
We have been exploring our feelings and we are enjoying singing the angry song especially stamping our feet!!!
We had a great first session with our Families Connect group! This week involved talking about identifying different feelings using picture cards and feelings fans. Children enjoyed their snack with their parents and then enjoyed discussing and investigating feelings and reactions to different scenarios using their magnifying glass. We are already looking forward to next week’s session!
Thank you to the Primary 1 parents and carers who took the time to hear about our Families Connect programme at the ‘Meet the Teacher’ event yesterday. We are thrilled to have lots of families signed up. Sarah and Mrs Moyes are looking forward to welcoming those who signed up on the 20th of September at 1pm.
We have been very busy in Primary One even though it has been a short week. We have been reading more Fairy tales. Our favourite this week is ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. We even read the wolf’s story, but we are not sure if he is telling the truth. We wrote a list of things to take to her Grandmas and also made Get Well cards to cheer her up.
Yesterday we played lots of fun games at our Judo taster session as you can see from our photographs.
We hope to see you on Monday at 2.15 to share our Fairyland Learning.
In PE this week Primary 1 have been learning ball skills. We rolled sponge balls down our arms and legs and back up over our heads using our fingertips! This was much trickier than it sounds! We were throwing and catching small balls with two hands and challenging ourselves by trying to throw and catch using only one hand. We even tried doing this while walking around the gym hall! We also worked in pairs to practise our throwing and catching.
Primary 2, 2/3, 5, 6, 6/7 and 7 have been learning about athletics. We know that athletics involves running, jumping and throwing events. As we took part in long distance running and sprinting last week it was time for us to have a go at jumping this week. We tried out long jump, high jump and triple jump. We tried each jump without a run up, recorded our distance and then tried again with a run up, we were amazed at the difference having a run up makes! We spoke about the personal and physical qualities needed for athletics events and discussed which events we think we would enjoy most.
