Room 1 Kirklandneuk: January 2011

New topic

This picture may give you a little clue about our very special topic this term. It has something to do with a gibbon called Gabu and a letter that we received.

Toys topic

As part of our topic, we decided to make some toys. We made paper plate masks, peg dolls, a board game and some finger puppets.

We had some time to play with the toys, then we had to evaluate them by giving two stars and a wish.

We thought that they were lots of fun to play with.

We had to think about what could make them even better. We thought that the finger puppets would be better with stick on hair like the peg dolls. The board game was really good too but could be improved by writing on where to start and finish.

Our toys were a success as we enjoyed making them and playing with them.

Good Behaviour in Primary 1

Mrs Ayres was so proud when Mrs Weiland came round on the last day of term to give out the good behaviour certificates for the term as almost everyone got one. Well done boys and girls!

Our Special Visitor

When we had our Christmas party recently with the other primary 1 children, we got to wear our own clothes to school, had dancing and games and enjoyed some healthy snacks. The most exciting bit though was when our special visitor arrived.

We were very lucky because Santa arrived with a big sack and he gave a present to each of us that we were allowed to open early. He loved our singing, especially Jingle Bells.

Santa Claus left his sleigh on the roof but a few boys and girls were quite sure they spotted it when Santa left.

Christmas Nativity

Despite losing some of our rehearsal time due to the weather, the children worked very hard and performed wonderfully in our Nativity. All of the teachers were extremely proud and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the show.
