Starting School

Primary 1a have settled well into school life. We are all working hard and enjoying being in room 1!

In our first week, we decided that we should have a set of rules for our class. This is to make sure it is a happy and safe place to learn each day. We want to be able to work and play happily together. As well as thinking about how we work inside the class, we also thought about how we would behave outside the classroom. With Miss McCabe's help we chose our own 'quality indicators' to remind ourselves what our worktimes, listening times and lines should be like.
Everyone who visits our class comments on how good we are at listening, working quietly and playing together co-operatively!

Primary 1a have been helped to settle into school routines by our primary 7 buddies. We have enjoyed getting to know our buddies - the older children visited our class to read a story and they have also been playing games with us in the playground. When we go to the dinner hall for the first time our buddies will be on hand to give some friendly reassurance and to help out when needed.

Look at the photos of our 'quality audience', 'quality line', 'quality work-time' and 'quality group-time'. We have been trying our very best!
