On Tuesday Primary 1 welcomed a special visitor into the classes. Percy the Park Keeper arrived with his friend Mrs Stewart. We have been reading stories about Percy the Park Keeper and his animal friends, hedgehog, rabbit, fox and badger. We particularly enjoyed the story After the Storm and we were keen to tell Percy all our ideas for building the animals a new house. We also asked Percy lots of questions about his park and his animal friends. He showed us his tool bag and his knitted scarf from Auntie Joyce. He had also ate his Peanut Butter sandwiches on the way to school. We had great fun… Thank you Percy. Hope to see you again soon.

P2/1 – What are we up to?

Hello!!

We have been extremely busy this term and its only just started. We have been settling back in to our newly painted classroom.  It is looking super smart and very clean and tidy. (for just now!!!) We have received an exciting email from KG2F from Abu Dhabi, it had a powerpoint introducing themsleves and their school.  We worked hard to send an email back introducing oursleves and our school.  We have started our new topic of houses and homes.  We enjoyed producing black line drawings of our houses to include detail of bricks, windows, doors and stones.

Learning in P1F

Primary 1F are learning all about castles this term! We will be exploring what life was like in a castle in the past, compared to our own lives now. This week we have been learning about knights and their role within a castle. We were learning about coat of arms and why each castle had a different design. We then had designed our own coat of arms. The finished product was fantastic! We’re excited to learn more on castles this term!
