Term 2
Literacy Time! During Taskboard we were revising our Key Words. We practised writing them on the table with whiteboard pens! Some children were able to use their key words to write a sentence too! But we promise not to write on the tables at home! 😂 🤞🏻
Streamvale Farm Trip. We all had a fabulous time at the farm. We held chicks and bunnies, visited the milking parlour, saw the baby lambs, had a ride of a tractor and we got to feed lots of different animals! Then we had a picnic lunch and a fun time at the Cannon Arena! ☺️
Art and Design - Working hard on our Paul Bell inspired cows! 🐮 Everyone have their cow a unique name and it made a lovely display!
Some Easter fun in P1 this week! 🐣
Making Butter. As part of our topic we are learning about the journey of milk and dairy products. We made homemade butter and had it on some crackers at snack. It was hard work but good fun! Most children liked it and asked for more. Maybe have a go making it at home!
Pyjama Day for World Book Day 📚
World Book Day Celebrations in P1. Today we celebrated our love of books as we aim to foster a life long enjoyment for reading. Our theme this year was the book ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers, a famous local author. We made boats during PBL and tested them in the water tray to see if they would float and hold a penguin. We then wrote a Report with facts about Penguins and drew pictures from the story. We also had Play Based Learning inspired by our favourite stories. It was a great day. 📚
Superhero Day in Room 3 for Autism NI. We are all unique and special in our own way and each have a super power - to be kind to each other. Today we celebrated all those differences and raised money for charity.
Forest Schools. We read the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We then had to build a bridge for the animals to safely travel across. We had to work together and discuss our ideas before sharing all the resources. We had some excellent ideas 💡.
STEAM - Car Challenge. We had to investigate how to make our vehicle move with someone sitting inside. It was too heavy to push or to pull so we used the rollers to roll the car along the ground. Everyone enjoyed taking their turn. 🚘
STEAM - Art Challenge. Painting without a paintbrush🖌. We had to figure out another way to move the paint. So we decided to blow it using straw. It was so much fun to see the different shapes and colours when they mixed together. When they dried we were very creative and we turned them into Monsters.
STEAM - Design and Engineering Challenge. We had to plan and design a vehicle to move a packet of sweets. We tested our designs so that they would not fall out. And we even got to eat the sweeties as a treat for working so hard this week!
STEAM WEEK - Science - we were leaning about forces and how things move. We read the story of Rosie’s Hat that blew off in the wind. And we made wind streamers to test how the wind makes things move. We took them outside to see which direction the wind was blowing.
STEAM Week. We absolutely loved our STEAM challenges and activities this week in class. The children showed great skills during our investigations and tasks. We learned lots and has such good fun. W started the week off in style with a Science Show with Scientist Sue.
During maths time, we carried out some measuring some penguins using our multilinks cubes 😁.
We had a fab morning with our friends from St Comgall’s learning about St Patrick. We used arts & crafts materials to make a shamrock , learned how to do some Irish dancing steps and watched a video all about St Patrick ☘️😁
Take 5 Friday - Take Notice -Today we went out for a bird watch as part of our Winter Wonderland topic. The P7s helped us identify and record all the common garden birds we saw.
We have been learning about Length during our topic maths. We went on a hunt around our classroom looking for long & short things and enjoyed a walk around our school grounds looking for ‘Tall’ things ☺️
