Health Week Day 4 Primary1S

We kicked of today with a β€œhow to keep health” session with the school nurse team.
We learned lots of facts about how much sugar is in different juices and about different aspects of Heath. Sleep 😴 is very important for our Heath, we need to get enough sleep every night. To remind us how important sleep is we made Dream 😴 Catchers.

After that we had a Dance πŸ’ƒ πŸ•Ί lesson. This was lots of fun and hard work. We had to concentrate on the dance moves and try to remember them. We tried Highland and Cheer.

Our final activity for the day was sensory zones. We had a great time trying different activities.

Health Week Day 3 in Primary 1

Another busy day in Primary 1.

First up we had Enjoy~a~ball where we learned lots of ball skills.

In the afternoon we all enjoyed sports 🏏 ⚽️ πŸ€ day. We had lots of fun going round the stations and participating in the races.

We are excited to find out what we will be doing over the next two days 🀩

Health week Day 2 Primary 1S

It was another fun filled Heath day in Primary 1S.

First up today was circuits with Primary 1M and Primary 7. We tried lots of different activities working different areas of our bodies.

We then had some time in the garden making flower 🌺 bombs. We did this together with P1M. These were made from wild flower seeds, compost and clay mud. It was very messy but lots of fun. Some of us planted our bombs in school and some of us have taken them home 🏠.

After that we had some time to play in the outdoor classroom before doing some mindfulness activities in class.

We are all very excited about what activities we will do tomorrow and Sports Day 🀩

Health week day 1 Primary 1S

In Primary 1S we got of to a flying start in health week.

Firstly we walked up to the community garden to explore and complete a colour treasure hunt. For some of us it was our first time at the community garden. We enjoyed walking around finding different colours in the garden.

Next we enjoyed a Judo taster session where we got to try out some moves with a partner. This was lots of fun!

After this we had a special guest join us to talk about football, ⚽️ she is not only a football player but a qualified referee. We got to ask lots of questions about football.

Last but not least we made smoothies on the smoothie bike 🚲. We got to choose what fruit we wanted in our smoothies and what flavour of fruit πŸ‡ 🍈 🍎 🍌 🍐 🍍 juice to mix our fruit up with. It was hard work but lots of fun 🀩

We are looking forward to another busy day tomorrow πŸ˜€

Primary 1S

A lovely πŸ₯° week in Primary 1S.

On Wednesday we enjoyed practicing for sports day during PE. We learned different types of races and we are really looking forward to Heath Week next week and Sports Day on Wednesday.

On Thursday we attended mass in the school to celebrate the Assention. We were all very respectful and joined in when we could.

We also had our Buddy time on Thursday, this week we all had a focus on Goldilocks and the three bears 🐻 🐻🐻. Our buddies helped us complete a story sequence and we made porridge πŸ₯£ together. Some of us had not tried porridge πŸ₯£ before. We had to follow the instructions carefully. And we tried different toppings on our porridge. Some of us did not like it and we talked about how that was okay, we don’t all have to like the same things.

The Friendly Dragon paid us another visit this week and left us lots of cardboard to build a castle. We got busy on with that Β job on Friday, cutting, sticking and painting. We talked about what we wanted in out castle.

Primary 1S

Another fun learning week in Primary 1S.

At the start of the week most of us completed our class talks. We heard some great facts about different animals. We spoke very clearly and when we were listener’s we were very respectful to the person speaking.

The dragon πŸ‰ paid us another visit this week! This time he left us lots of lovey Fairytale books to read and a soft toy dragon to look after. He asked us to create a nice space in our classroom to read our books, we all worked together to do this.

On Wednesday we took a nice walk 🚢 πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ to the park. It was nice and dry and we enjoyed playing on all the equipment. We listened to the instructions well and stayed safe walking on the path.

As it is the beginning of May we have learned that May is an important month for Mary, we are learning a new prayer and we have made flowers for Mary.

 

 

 

 

On Friday we enjoyed some time with Primary 1M and we walked up to the nursery to visit our nursery friends, we had lots of fun!

Primary 1S

What an exciting week in Primary 1, we have had special visitors this week, Biscuit and Muffin, the guinea pigs from the nursery. Some of our friends from nursery brought the guinea pigs over and we go to play together.

We got to look after Biscuit and Muffin all week, we had to make their breakfast, make sure they have hay Β and clean water. We enjoyed cuddles with them.

 

We enjoyed showing our friends our classroom.

On Tuesday we received a letter from a magic dragon from Fairytale land, he asked us to help save Fairyland by reading fairytale stories, he also asked us to make Β fairyland corner in our class. We have started by making a giant beanstalk! Our Primary 7 buddies read us stories and we made Jack and Β a giant together for our beanstalk.

This week we also enjoyed sometime outdoors in the school garden and the trim trail. In the garden we did some weeding and planted some flower seeds and we also watered the plants that we planted last time.

On Friday we walked up to the nursery to take Biscuit and Muffin home. We were very careful taking all there things back. We enjoyed playing with our friends in the nursery.

Have a lovely weekend.
