Primary 1 enjoyed a lovely buddy session this week, we listened to “What We’ll Build” by Oliver Jeffers. We then then built things in our classroom with our buddies.

In RE this week we discussed how we use our hands to pray 🙏 and thought about who we talk to when we pray. We used this to create beautiful praying hands pictures.

The dragon also left us a dragon teddy to take care off, we are going to take turns at taking the dragon home, showing the dragon our home and maybe reading the dragon some stories from home.

During PE this week we have been practicing ball skills, throwing and catching and even trying to score some hoops. Everyone in Primary 1 gives 100% to PE as we love being active!

We were lucky to find some big boxes in the school this week and these have created lots of role play opportunities. We have had. House, a pirate ship, a space ship, a den, a car and lots more, This allowed us to create different stories and characters.

And on Friday we had the opportunity to share our Primary 1 journey at our class assembly. We worked together to pick what photos we wanted to share with everyone and what we wanted to say about this year. it’s safe to say we have had a lot of learning but even more fun together this year!

Thank you to all the adults who came to watch us 😀 and who have supported our learning this year!

Everyone in Primary 1 was delighted that our caterpillars 🐛 had emerged from their chrysalis as beautiful butterflies 🦋. We looked after them in the classroom for a few days, they loved oranges 🍊. When it was time t release them some of us we sad but we talked about how it wasn’t fair to keep the butterflies 🦋 in class as they needed to  be able to fly. We loved seeing the butterflies 🦋 in the flowers 🌺.

Throughout the week we have explored different ways to measure 📏  we all enjoyed measuring each other  as well as other items in the classroom.

This was very interesting and lots of fun! Thursday afternoon was also “play afternoon “ Which the Creative and Digital committee had planned, it was great to be able to bring in toys from home and share why we like them with our friends.

Last day of Health Week and it’s was another busy one. We started our day with a session with PC Sean. This was lots of fun as well as giving us lots of information about how to stay safe and how the police can help us. We also got the opportunity to investigate some equipment and police uniform he brought along to show us.

Next up for us was a mini marathon 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 we found this challenging but fun, we enjoyed running with our friends. We talked about how it’s very good for our health to do something that challenges us.

As well as looking after our bodies we also need to look after minds and we enjoyed our Mental Health session where we talked about what we could do when we are feeling sad, upset, angry or frustrated and what makes us feel happy and safe.

Let but not least, our last session of the week was Dancing with Next Steps. Some of us thought we didn’t like dancing but  our faces said differently and afterwards we all agreed it was lots of fun.

We hope you have a lovely weekend 😀
