Today the children had an opportunity to showcase the junk art toys they had made. The children talked about the materials they had used and explained how they joined together the different materials using glue and cellotape. They took photographs of each other while sitting on the 'Hot Seat' and we all enjoyed listening too and seeing each others fabulous toys.
We enjoyed a visit today from Optometrists who explained to us the importance of looking after our eyes and what happens when we go to have our eyes tested. We had fun trying on lots of different pairs of glasses.
We visited Armagh Toy Museum this morning. As we have been learning about toys, we were able to answer lots of the questions about the old toys and try out some of the old toys we hadn’t seen before. We also were able to make our own peg aeroplane or peg doll to take home to play with. Our favourite part of the trip was playing with all the old toys together.
P3 were giving each other directions to get to the pirate pictures.
P3 made their own bubble solution and then took part in a bubble challenge. We tried to blow the biggest bubbles and bubbles inside bubbles. It was very important that we kept the surface and the straw wet otherwise the bubbles would burst.
Every week the children put a huge effort into our Healthy Kidz sessions. Such a fun way to keep fit!
We really enjoyed our visit from Firefighter Nicky who told us all about his job. We also had fun trying on his uniform.
All of KS2 were tasked to create videos based on Internet Safety. This years theme is: Online Identity with the message being that our online identity shouldn’t be our real offline identity. Children did fantastic work planning in groups then creating and editing their videos. I’ve been really impressed with how they got on - here are two great examples from my class today. Enjoy!
On the back of Children’s Mental Health week, we discussed in yesterday’s PDMU lesson how we want to feel, and the sort of feelings that we want to focus on both at home and in school. Children chose a word from a list, and then came up with three ways that they could achieve that feeling or three things that remind them of that feeling. After some great discussion, children were recorded sharing their words and reasons which was then collated to a whole class video.
