Our School Trip to Fort Evergreen
We started the day with an exciting bus journey. When we arrived at Fort Evergreen we got some delicious juice and a yummy biscuit. After that we got to visit the animals. There were chicks, guinea pig, calves, chipmunks, alpacas, goats, hens and we even met a peacock. Then we spotted something really exciting. A UNICORN! She was very pretty! After that, we got to go on a spin on the Busy Bee Train. We took turns to go on this and while we waited we got to play on the toy tractors. Then we visited the birds and after we went to play in the castle. We climbed up the walls, went on swings and slid down the slides. Then we went to the indoor play area and we had a ball! Our favourite slide was the dragon slide! We then got some lunch. Finally, we got to feed the baby lambs their dinner. We had a fantastic time and were very tired after all the exciting activities. Some of us even took a wee nap on the way home! They were so cute and super soft! Check out the school website for lots of pictures of us having fun on our school Trip.
Have a look at all the fun things we have been getting up to in play this week! We have had some wonderful creations!
Cuddly Chicks
Thank you to Lisa, who kindly brought in chicks for us to see. We were very excited and even got to pet them.
Tick Tock
This week we have been learning to tell the time. We have been focusing on o'clock times!
Fitness Freddy
On Wednesday, we had a very exciting day. Fitness Freddy came into school to carry out some health and well-being focused activities. Primary 1 had fantastic fun. Fitness Freddy had all the P1s dancing, laughing, boogieing and giggling. They each got a lovely certificate to congratulate them for their fantastic effort and participation. Miss Cunningham was extremely proud of our excellent listening skills.
Sports day
Today we got to go outside in the lovely sun to take part in sports day. We had a fantastic first sports day and everyone showed great sportsmanship. Well done Primary 1.
Bug Dance
We read a story called ‘Bug Dance’. In this story, the teacher was teaching the bugs a new dance. They needed to know left and right to help them move the correct way. Unfortunately, the centipede had so many legs that he kept falling over.
Primary one then got to try the dance themselves. The dance was 2 steps left, 2 steps right, 1 hop forward, 1 hop backwards, turn right. We completed this 4 times and we ended up back at the START! We were fascinated.
Silly Sightwords
In Literacy this week we learnt about the words ‘saw’ and ‘into’. We took part in a carousel lesson where we got to play 6 different games in rotation to help us develop recognition of these words and others we have learnt previously. In one game, we had to feed the teddy bear the correct word, in another we had to use a fly swat to hit the correct word, we also got to spell the words using magnetic letters and make the words out of playdough. We even got to play a game where we had to guess which number the teddy bear was hiding under.
Sharing is Caring
This week we pretended to go on a picnic and we shared our ‘food’ between two. We even got to share some real sweets and then eat them! We also shared different numbers of spiders between 3 webs.
