P1GE
Today we had our annual trip to Armagh Museum to explore Toys from the past.
We travelled by bus & had great fun learning about toys old & new, how they were made & what materials were used.

Today we played outside in the sunshine. We enjoyed catch the ball with Mrs Shields, building Lego and even making meals for others in our imaginary McDonald’s.
We all enjoyed dressing up for World book day and listening to a storyteller.
Our new topic for term 2 is ‘Toys’. This week we have been talking about our favourite toys. Our P1 boys and girls were given the opportunity to bring their favourite toy into school today. Firstly, we enjoyed a circle time, where each child had the opportunity to name and describe their favourite toy and tell the class why it was their favourite. Then we used our toys to complete a sorting task for different criteria, such as hard/soft, big/small, noisy/quiet. After break, we enjoyed completing an observational drawing of our toys. We also discussed how their choice of toys has changed as they have grown from a baby to a child, and why this might be.
