As it is Autumn and there are lots of apples about at this time of year, we have been thinking all about apples this week. We talked about where apples come from and the difference between apples you might eat as a snack and cooking apples.
Then we conducted a little experiment to see what the apples might taste like cooked and what happens to them. We tasted our stewed apples on biscuits and a little cream.
We also looked at the artist Paul Czeanne, famous for painting pictures of apples. We completed our beautiful art work which will be on display in our classroom for all to see.
What better way to finish off our week on learning all about the letter ‘P’, than with a class party? All week the children have been party planning and making lists. We have been busy writing invitations during literacy, writing about our ages in numeracy, designing birthday cakes, party placemats and party hats during play-based learning and yesterday we decorated biscuits. Today we put up balloons and set our tables for eating our party food. Then we had lots of fun playing party games and revising our sounds. Learning is fun! Today was a fantastic celebration too of how well our children have settled in to Primary 1!
We were delighted to give out two Good Behaviour certificates this morning at our first Celebration Assembly. Well done! 🌟
Have a look at what we have been getting up to.
