I am so proud of all the children this week as they have shown how confident and responsible they have become.
There have been various opportunities for the P1 children to support the pre-schoolers this week as part of our ongoing transition work. Every day we went outside in the morning and afternoon for some playtime, the P1 children were fantastic at assisting the younger children by opening their snacks, playing with them, showing them around, etc. We also had some science lessons and again the P1’s had to work with a nursery child to support them in the carousel activities. They went outside for a mini-beast hunt with Mrs Caskie and then worked with myself to do some senses experiments. I can’t believe that almost a year has passed and we are now preparing our current P1’s for their transition to P2. More details to follow in the coming weeks about these preparations.
In class we continued to learn about numbers within 20, with the focus on number names which can be really tricky. The children played some matching games, used flashcards, did some written work and used the smartboard games. All were very successful in these activities.
Mr Hunter took the children for a fun outdoor lesson and the children worked in teams showing their creativity. Have a look at their efforts!
We ended the week with our Achievements Assembly and P1R had the honour of presenting their class assembly to the whole school. I was so proud of each and every one of them as they all stood confidently in front of a large audience. They said their lines clearly and sang their hearts out.
This was the song the children chose to end their assembly with, why don’t you ask them to sing along at home with the link below.
A big thank you to Mrs Roy and her great Primary 1 pupils. You were so responsible and fantastic role models this week for the nursery children. They loved being detectives in both the science experiments and the minibeasts hunt. They are all looking forward to catching up with you at lunch next week.
Mrs Caskie😀
In this week alone the children have been SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS. They really have impressed the whole school. I was sorry to miss the assembly today but Miss Smyth told me the children were fantastic!
