P2B have had a super week!\u00a0 They had the pleasure of having Mrs McLaughlin who they absolutely love (she tells great jokes) while I was off sick.\u00a0 Here is what they have said has been the highlights of their week:<\/p>\n
Ishani S enjoyed learning about the life of St Mother Teresa.<\/p>\n
Layla liked learning about how to take care of a baby.\u00a0 We are all looking forward to the presentations next week!<\/p>\n
Maeve reports that she liked our lessons this week on dictionary skills.\u00a0 Her and her partner Daniel decided to look up the word ‘car’.\u00a0 They copied out its definition.\u00a0 We watched as Mrs Devlin looked up the definition of a new word we had not heard before called \u2018reluctant\u2019 and we are going to try and use it in context at home and surprise our families!<\/p>\n
Daniel liked our lesson on self-regulation strategies this week as we continue to explore our feelings.\u00a0 This is a topic we have been revisiting over the school year.\u00a0 We added to our class self-regulation box which is now full of things that can help us to feel calm and happy.\u00a0 Some examples are: a teddy, a glitter ball, soft pomp oms, paint, a wand (to help us imagine a magical place), a dinosaur, wooden sticks, lego\u2026\u2026\u2026 and Matteo and Layla wrote out a list of other reminders to read that include things like speaking to an adult, dancing, praying, deep breaths etc.<\/p>\n
Szymon has been enjoying the 5 Times Tables.\u00a0 We will be learning about dividing by 5 next week.<\/p>\n
Freya enjoyed listening to the story \u2018My Big Shouting Day\u2019 that Mrs McLaughlin read to the class.<\/p>\n
Aiden liked when a bee came to visit the classroom.\u00a0 Apparently this caused great hysterics and our janitor had to come fetch it out of the lampshade as it was causing too much distraction.<\/p>\n
Leah loved using the ipads.\u00a0 The children were continuing their learning about \u2018recounts\u2019 and used their favourite app \u2018Chatterpix\u2019 to recount a choice of \u2018The Three Billy Goats Gruff\u2019 or \u2018The Boy Who Cried Wolf\u2019.<\/p>\n
Mrs McLaughlin\u2019s highlight was when she was so impressed with how much the children could tell her about recounts and the vocabulary associated with them.<\/p>\n
My highlight was when I returned to work on Thursday and the warm welcome I received back.\u00a0 The children were not expecting me in that day and they had a big surprise.\u00a0 I was met with lots of, \u201cI missed you!\u201d\u00a0 \u201cI was praying for your sore throat\u201d, lots and lots and lots of news about what I had missed and many air hugs.\u00a0 Thank you boys and girls, I missed you too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
