We have had another very busy week in Primary 2/1

This week was anti Bullying Week and also Book Week.  The children will all bring home a book bag today for them to read and enjoy at home with the family.

We read some of the books in class and also completed activities related to them.  We read a story about a girl who lost her sock puppet so she turned detective to find it.  We made our own sock puppets and gave them names.  We decorated them using fabric pens and markers.  We went on a word hunt in the Infant Area to find clues.  We also read a story about a dragon who turned out not to be a dragon at all.  We then made paper aeroplanes and decorated them to make them look like a dragon and we tested how far they could fly.  We read the story Donut and for writing we designed our own cake and wrote about what it looked like.   Primary One have been working hard on their letter formation.

This week in maths and numeracy we have continued with addition within 10 and compensation.  We have also explored time o’clock and half past.  We played matching games and used the toy clocks to tell the time.  P2 made their own digital clocks.

P2 have been working very hard in preparation for their assembly next week and P1 are continuing to learn the songs for the Nativity.

This week we have discussed what does Bullying mean to us.  We had lots of discussions and made anti bullying posters.  We also spoke about the importance of being kind and how we can show kindness to everyone in school and also at home.  P2 made Kindness posters drawing and writing words to describe kindness linking to the Rights of the Child  Articles 2, 12, 13 and 19

Today we had an assembly and the winners of the anti litter posters were chosen.  Well done to AbdulHameed the winner from P2/1.

Congratulations go to Victoria the winner of our Hot Chocolate award.  Well done to the Purple table the winners this week.  Congratulations to Katie who was our Reading Champion this week.

Have a great weekend everyone.
