We have started our countdown to the summer! On Monday we popped balloon number 10 and we had to reflect on our time in P1/2. We looked back at photos of our learning and talked to our partners about things we have learnt and our favourite memories. We then drew these memories on a memory wheel. We can keep these until we are older and look back on our time in P1/2.
On Tuesday balloon 9 set us a challenge to write a letter to our new teacher. We had to use all of our skills we had learnt this year to write independently to Miss Prince telling her all about us! Miss Mudd could not have been more proud of our wonderful work!
On Wednesday we made some ‘all about me’ flowers to tell Miss Prince everything she needs to know about P1/2.
Our balloon on Thursday challenged us to some team work activities. Our class novel is The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me. We looked at how well the animals worked together as a team. Miss Mudd set us some team challenges. We then had to reflect on what worked well and what we would change. We came up with a list of qualities that make a good team. We then went outside to play some parachute games and had to apply our team work skills.
We have also worked hard to finish our imaginative stories. We learnt how to write a blurb and looked at examples of good blurbs. We tried to give a little hint about the story and use a question to entice our readers. Next week we will be celebrating our stories with the other P1 classes. Mrs Tulloch popped in on Friday to hear some of them and she was blown away by the talented authors in P1/2.
This week we held our auditions for Springfield’s Got Talent. We have some very talented boys and girls in P1/2. We had some magic tricks, forward rolls, gymnastics, poetry and even lip dancing!
In IDL we continued to learn about people who help us in our local community. We had a visit from Mrs Goddard who is a Doctor. Our visit was very informative and we loved playing with all of the interesting equipment. A HUGE thank you to Mrs Goddard for giving up her time to come and speak to us.
There have been a lot of achievements in P1/2 this week. Isabel brought in her level 1 certificate for Gymnastics. Olivia also brought in her Level 1, 2 and 3 certificates and explained the skills she needed to achieve these levels. Daniel brought in his Taekwondo belt and told us how he got his blue stripe.
On Monday we also went out to watch some of the upper school take part in the Quidditch tournament. It was very exciting and they all did very well.
We wanted to say a huge well done to all of the P7s. They performed a fabulous leavers assembly and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We have loved having you as buddies this year and we hope you liked our messages. We wish you all the best for your transition to the Academy. Please come back and visit us soon!
