Hello P2B families!
Here are our highlights from the Green Table:
TJ enjoyed our Word Boost story ‘Home Sweet Hamish’. His favourite Word Boost word was ‘clumsy’. Something, which he assures me, he is not!
Karina liked learning the Bible story about Jesus healing a blind man.
Eli loved our Live Lesson, were we met a real astronaut! He taught us about training to become one and answered the question we hoped he would answer, which was all about food in Space. We learned that all the moisture is removed from food, to be brought to Space and then it is put back in, before it is eaten. This is called ‘dehydrate’ and ‘rehydrate’. The children enjoyed pretending to put on their seat belts and then undoing them and floating in Space. Ask your child to show you how to put on their astronaut seat belt and what happens to toothpaste in Space when the astronauts are finished brushing their teeth!
Lilly said the best lesson for her, was our big P3 joined up handwriting, of the letters i and g together. We discussed words that would need these letters: big, dig, fig (which Mrs Devlin is going to buy us to taste), pig, tig and wig.
Maja loved ball skills with Mrs Lafferty.
Sofia liked music with Mrs Morrison. The children continued their learning about syllables. Sofia was able to tell me that her name has 3 syllables. Well done Sofia!
Mrs Devlin’s favourite lesson was our learning about the life of St Brigid. We celebrate this feast day on February 1st, the day we believe she died. This saint is important to Mrs Devlin because not only was she Irish but also, Mrs Devlin chose her Confirmation name after her. The children role-played the important story about how she got land to build a church. We learned a beautiful song about her life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqs7lcZvSA8) and then followed up with weaving. The children were able to build on their learning of making a Chinese lantern, as the first steps were the same.
Congratulations to Ollie, our Hot Chocolate award winner this week and Maja, our Reading Champion!
On Tuesday, we hope to visit St Peter’s Church as part of our learning about the Sacrament of Baptism. Please send your child dressed for wet weather conditions. Thank you.
