Good afternoon. Primary 1 absolutely loved having our mummies and daddies into school to share in our learning through play. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. In Literacy we learned the ‘ew’ and ‘ire’ sounds. We played roll and read, looked for real and nonsense words, played snakes and ladders and taught ted words. In writing we were learning about an information report. We wrote an information report about bikes.
In Maths this week we have been learning about symmetry. We looked for shapes or objects around the classroom that were symmetrical, made loose parts symmetrical faces, completed monster pictures so they were symmetrical. We used a mirror to help us.
In our afternoons we have been further exploring pets. We learned about what a pet needs such as love and food. We made split pin puppets of pets, made 2D pictures of pets and explored the role of a vet in helping to care for animals. In P.E we have been continuing to learn basic Tennis skills. In Health and wellbeing, we were labelling parts of the body. Here are the children’s reflections:
Mitchell – “I enjoyed having mummy visit.”
Aaron – “I enjoyed playing Sumdog.”
Finlay – “I loved playing Sumdog and I loved my mum and my dad coming in. I also loved making a split pin pet. I loved playing in the pet shop.”
