Life in P5a

Leave a comment

All of the children have got off to a great start over the past few weeks and have settled well into the routines of P5. We have been building our class community and getting to know each other a bit better. One of the first things that we had to do was decide on what theme we wanted for our class charter and we all decided on a ‘cinema’ theme, I think you will agree that it turned out fantastically, we then had to decide on what the most important children’s rights were that we wanted to respect within our classroom, not only did we discuss what ones were relevant within our classroom but we also spoke about what we could do within our class to respect these rights. We have all signed out class contract and can’t wait for a happy and successful year in P5a.

In our class we also have our ‘Class Shout Out Wall’ where if someone feels that somebody is doing a fabulous job or if someone has helped you, we can write a compliment on a post it and place it on someones ‘face’…….. It’s ok we got everyone to draw a self portrait for the wall so no-one will be coming home covered in post-its! The wall seems to be covered in post-its on a daily basis as we have such a great class where everyone is kind and helps each other.

We are all looking forward to the next year in P5a.

P2 Class Charter

Leave a comment

Primary 2 have been very busy over the last 2 weeks, working together to plan and create our Class Charter. We took part in lots of discussions with partners, and in small groups to share our ideas about what we wanted to include. We considered how we could include some aspects  of the Rights of A Child as well as our School Values. Finally, after enjoying one of the Elmer stories by David McKee, we decided on a theme to display our ideas.

Hopefully, as we continue our journey through Primary 2, our Charter will help us, and remind us how to work together to ensure our classroom is a safe, happy and productive place to be.

P1W’s Class Charter

Leave a comment

Primary 1W have had a fun and busy start to the first two weeks of term, getting to know each other and focusing on the book “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister. We enjoyed participating in many activities around the key themes of the book, such as friendship, being kind and sharing.

 

We have used our learning to help us build our class charter, linked to our school values and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We each chose a colourful scale to draw a picture of ourselves on and to add to our class rainbow fish.

We decided together that in P1W we will:

  • Share
  • Be Safe
  • Learn
  • Listen
  • Try our best
  • Play
  • Express our ideas
  • Be kind

P7/6 Class Charter

Leave a comment

This week in Primary 7/6 we have been extremely busy creating our Class Charter. We started by looking at The United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child and decided which ones were most important to us within the classroom. We selected four Rights which include:

Article 16
You have the right to privacy.

Article 28
You have the right to a good quality education.
You should be encouraged to go to school to
the highest level you can.

Article 29
Your education should help you use and develop
your talents and abilities. It should also help
you learn to live peacefully, protect the environment
and respect other people.

Article 31
You have the right to play and rest.

From our rights, we created a Class Charter to follow in the class. Some of our rules include:

We will listen the opinions of others and respect other people’s property.
We will take on our roles within the school seriously.
We will always try our best and celebrate our achievements.
We will be kind and support each other.

To demonstrate these rights, we created a freeze frame to show what our rules should look like. We had a lot of fun acting these out. We look forward to you coming into our classroom and seeing our Class Charter.

Life of P7

Leave a comment

During the first two weeks in P7 we have been working on our House Captain Election presentations. It has been a lot of fun, creating our own posters to put around the school, making videos and having fun when we were doing the presentations. We worked with other team mates to help them with their video, Powerpoint and speeches. We were nervous but we all really enjoyed it. We were all very supportive of each other and we are looking forward to celebrating the results at assembly.

We are very excited about the start of a new year in P7. This week we created our P7 Class Charter and we have been working hard to follow it throughout the week. We hope this will help us have a successful and enjoyable P7.

P4 Community Contract

Leave a comment

Primary 4 have had an enjoyable start to the term building our class community. We have spent time over the first two weeks developing a class community contract to help ensure we have a fantastic start to P4. We looked at children’s rights from the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and picked out 4 that we thought related to life around the school. We used these rights and our school values to create a community contract with a Minion theme. Our contract states that:

We will try our best and encourage others.

We will help each other and work as a team.

We will keep our classroom and school tidy.

We will listen to and respect each other.

We will be kind, friendly and polite.

Using our Minions theme we have made a colourful and fun community contract!

P3 Community Contract

Leave a comment

Primary 3 have had a fun first two weeks getting to know each other and building our class community. We have been demonstrating our team work and creative skills through a series of challenges, as well as showing off our maths, writing and digital abilities.

To help us to have an amazing year in Primary 3, we created a community contract. We discussed each of our school values and what they meant to us, thinking carefully about how we could show each of the values both in school and in the playground. We all designed our own emoji to add to our contract to make it colourful and eye catching in our classroom.

Primary 5C Class Charter

Leave a comment

All of P5c are very excited about the start of our P5 journey and looking forward to all of the challenges ahead. We have spent the first 2 weeks of term getting to know one another and deciding what we need to do to ensure we have a safe, calm and happy environment to work in. The boys and girls decided on a ‘Busy Bee’ theme for our class charter, as we are all expecting to be kept very busy in the coming months…

We revisited our school values and the children came up with lots of ways in which we can make sure these are upheld. We then decided on which childrens’ rights to include and discussed what we will need to do to ensure everyone’s rights are met; these were displayed on flowers which we made to keep our bees busy!

We have all signed our class contract and hopefully our P5c Charter will help us to have a happy and successful year this session.

P1P Class Charter

Leave a comment

During the first two weeks, Primary 1 have been looking at the story of the Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. This story is all about being kind and friendly to others through sharing. We thought this linked well to our own classroom expectations and some of our School Values.

Through various activities we have explored the Rainbow Fish further and have also shared our thoughts and ideas on our school’s values. We used these brilliant ideas to create a Rainbow Fish themed Class Charter that also linked to the UN Rights of the Child.

Each bubble contains something that we think is important for us in and around the classroom and each shell contains one of our school values. We have all signed a scale on the Rainbow Fish to remind ourselves that we have agreed to our Class Charter and will use this throughout Primary 1. Brilliant work Primary 1!
