Happy New Year to everyone, we’ve had a very busy start to the year in P1R!
In maths we have started a new topic – division. We have been learning how to share objects fairly and had great fun sharing out sweets and toys.
On Wednesday we received a mystery message in a bottle, we were very puzzled and came up with lots of suggestions as to be what it could be and how it got in our classroom:
Maeve thought it might be a letter from Trex, Ahmad thought it was a special letter, Angelina thought it was a letter from a pirate because that’s what pirates do!
When we read it we discovered it was from Pirate Pete Pigeon, he has asked us to join him on his pirate adventures and we accepted immediately. Here is the plan we made with all of our ideas.
In PE we started a gymnastics block of learning and teaching, this week we were focusing on travelling and balance.
As this week was Vision and Values week we spent a lot of time discussing our school values and what makes our school unique. The children selected one of the values to illustrate in their Learning Journal. We also made a new class charter and used the theme of pirates to make a fantastic entrance display to our class.
In writing we had to think of how we were ‘going to blow your socks off in 2016’, there were some super ideas:
Oma is going to exercise more and become really fit.
Maeve is going to have the neatest handwriting.
Ahmad said we were going to be the best behaved class in the school ( I think we’re already that!!!)
Wow… loved reading how P1 R .are going to…..Blow your socks off …I would love to add to that plan. I have a long pair of stripy socks, how about when each one of you achieve your goal, you write your name on a stripe of the sock and once everyone has done it….I COME TO P1… WITH A TREAT!!!…Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Ahoy there Mrs Beattie, the children are loving our new pirates topic, they popped over to nursery today to borrow some boats for their water play. You’ll need to come and visit us soon to find out more!
And P1R are back to school with a bang! What a fantastic blog post.
I love your enthusiasm boys and girls.
Your letter from Pirate Pete sounds very interesting. Do you know why pirates are the best????
They just ARRRRRRRRRRR!!! 😉
Brilliant start to the new year!
