Term 1
As part of our Autumn discussion we learned about apples. Mrs Carruthers gave us apples from her family apple tree and we made a crumble with them. The ladies from our school canteen cooked it for us and we had a taste test. We enjoyed working together to cut the apples and make the crumble. Everyone tasted a bit and some even had seconds!
More work on Patterns....we went outside this morning to make pattern using natural materials. Have a look at our work! 🍂🍁🍂
Making marshmallow & fruit patterns 😋🍓🫐
Our class Trip to Antrim Fire Station. We met all the firefighters on duty and they showed us the Fire Engine, we had a tour and got to use the hose. We learned lots about people who help us and about Fire safety.
Outdoor Learning - we are learning about capital letters. We decorated our initials with natural materials from our school grounds!
We are learning to write our names....we went outside to have a go. We tried really hard at the tricky letters and then drew ourselves too. The P6s were good helpers.
We had a lovely morning at Antrim Castle Gardens with our friends from St Comgall’s.🍂🐿️
Take 5 Fridays...we started today with our ‘Daybreak Dance’ - it is great fun and we are getting better at the routine!
Story Writing - We became authors and illustrators today and we wrote our first ever story. We are learning to squiggle write a sentence. We had to draw a picture about our weekend and write a sentence.
Take five Friday. This week we started to Focus on our Health and Well-being. We choose to ‘Take Notice’. We read a story called The Listening Walk. We then went outdoors to test our listening skills and we made a list of all the different sounds we could hear. We did the same in the class too....we had to be really quiet and we even heard things far away like cars.
We made the most of the lovely weather this week and enjoyed play time on our Trim Trail... it is good fun and great exercise!
We enjoyed our first outdoor play session with all our friends in P1. We had fun playing with all the resources in the sunshine! ☀️
Our School Tour - we are learning about people who help us in school so we went on a walk to meet the staff and to learn more about Antrim Primary School.
Art and Design. We made self portraits using Plasticine. We had to roll coils and make all the features of our face. We think they all look beautiful.
Our first taskboard. We are completing lots of tasks that will make our fingers strong and improve our fine motor skills - tearing paper, rolling playdough and using cutters, threading and drawing. It was lots of fun!
Play Based Learning in Room 3
Our Special names - we are learning about ourselves and decorated our name with mosaic pieces to make a lovely display! We had to use our fine motor skills to pick up the tiny bits of paper and carefully put them inside each letter.
Our first day in P1 ❤️💛🖤
We have had a lovely first few days at school - playing with the new resources and making friends.
