Have a look at our fabulous World Book Day costumes! We enjoyed lots of fun activities, including making a bookmark, drawing our favourite book character and going on a book scavenger hunt. A big thank you to Janet Compston from the library, who came to read us a fantastic story called ‘This book ate my dog’. We finished off our day by reading Mrs Eakin’s favourite book, ‘The Gruffalo’.

We have been reading Jack and the beanstalk this week. We learnt about Jack’s magic beans growing up into a beanstalk and we decided to plant our own. We found out what plants need to grow and the lifecycle of a bean.

During our 2D shape revision today, we had fun being shape detectives and investigating shape pictures to find out how many of each 2D shape we could find. Then, we enjoyed making our own fairytale shape castles, having started our new ‘Once upon a time’ topic this week.

This week, our P1 boys and girls enjoyed showcasing their junk art toys that were made as a technology project, during a class ‘Show and tell’ session. Well done boys and girls, you made some fantastic creations!!!! We have also had fun adding a variety of loose parts to old socks to make sock puppets that the boys and girls have enjoyed playing with in our Puppet Theatre during Play-based Learning.

Today we made beautiful Winter tree pictures. We started by looking at the different parts of a tree. The children enjoyed tearing strips of paper of varying thicknesses to the correct size for making a trunk, branches and twigs. We then used bubble wrap covered in white paint to give a snow effect.

On Monday we were able to enjoy a visit to the toy museum in Armagh. This gave us an interesting insight into the difference between old toys and new toys. We were able to play with all of the old toys on offer and even make some of our own.
Today we had Mrs Shields in for a visit to show us all of the old toys she had at home. The children really loved hearing about all of the different toys and comparing them to the ones we have now.

Our new topic this term is Toys and to start us off we talked about our favourite toys and sorted these into various categories such as: dolls, vehicles, soft toys, plastic toys and games. We then did some observational drawings of our toys before using oil pastels to colour them.
