This week Primary 1 looked at how people help us in everyday life, as part of our Linlithgow focus. We started with a speaking and listening activity to get the children to think about all the different people who help us. We looked at all the people that do help us, like the police and fire fighters. We had to think about what the people who help us look like. We worked in pairs to think about how we could help each other. We played a Circle Time activity that got us thinking about what each person does as part of their job, using prompt cards. Primary 1 started to think about they wanted to do when they grew up to help people.They thought about which job they wanted to do and we wrote these ideas and reasons on a writing frame. We set up part of our classroom with role play masks. Role play is a great way to get into character. We were very lucky that we had a visit from a librarian at Linlithgow Library, Harrrison’s daddy, who is a fire fighter and Sienna’s daddy who is a policeman. We thoroughly enjoyed our visitors and Primary 1 showed fantastic manners and respect to our guests! We asked challenging questions and learned lots! Ask your child what they would like to be when they grow up!
