It’s been a great first term for all our new Primary 1 pupils and they’ve settled in so well. They can write sounds and numbers as well as their own names – amazing work! P1 pupils have also been working with Brenda Welch, our Speech and Language therapist, every Tuesday to develop attention and listening and phonological awareness.
This year P1/2 are so privileged to have Musical Pathways every Wednesday with Ms. Una. We have been developing our awareness of different voices for example, singing voice, speaking voice, high and low voice as well as the extra special ‘thinking voice.’ We’ve loved meeting Harry the Hedgehog and Olly the owl each week after all our singing and music making. We can’t wait to see what Ms. Una has in store for next term.
We are having lots of fun in the lead up to Christmas. We are extremely busy rehearsing for our show, learning lines, singing and dancing. We are getting very creative, making winter and Christmas art to decorate our classroom and cloakroom.
Our thematic topics for this term have been ‘Autumn’ and ‘Toys.’ We’ve been learning about nocturnal animals and in particular owls linked to our Book focus – ‘Owl Babies.’ In our classroom we have set up a toy shop, taking on the roles of shop keeper, sales assistant and shoppers. Get your orders in early for Christmas!
