A fun week

Last week we had a visit from the Hopscotch Theatre company, who put on a performance about Children's Rights.  We learned the chorus of the 2 songs and enjoyed singing them with our buddies.  We learned so much and Miss Breslin was very impressed when we linked it to our Rights and Actions Tree in the classroom.

We used our learning about Elmer, along with our Elmer masks to think about Elmer felt in the story.  We had to mime using our faces how Elmer felt.  At first we found it tricky not to speak, but soon we were performing fabulous feelings mimes!  We had to mime Elmer happy, angry, sad and disappointed.

Welcome!!

Welcome to Primary 1.  We have already been so busy this term and can't wait to do even more fun things.  We have been learning some of our sounds and have been learning to recognise our numbers and count them.  Miss Breslin has been so impressed by how quickly we are learning new things.

We have enjoyed spending time with our buddies.  They have shown us round the school, taken us to the lunch hall for lunch, and come down to have Golden Time with us.  We look forward to spending more time with them.

We have learned about the people who help us in school, and were lucky that Johnny the Janitor, Miss Kingsley (cook) and Mrs Howie (Classroom Assistant) came to talk to us about their jobs.

For European Week we learned about a French artist called Monet, and recreated his Waterlilies picture.  we had a French afternoon, where we learned a French song and tasted some French food - yumm!!!

We were so lucky to have an author come in to visit us.  Lyn McNicol read us some of the story about Badger the Mystical Mutt and Badger visited us.  We enjoyed this very much!
