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.

The boys and girls in P1 had a busy morning on our school trip. We started off by watching Dame Money bags and Elfie where we got very animated. We then got to visit Santa, and he gave us each a selection box to take home. Then we moved on to our craft activity where we started our Elf hats and then finished these in the classroom to take home. To finish off our trip we each got a Suki and a top hat and enjoyed a little sing along together. Everyone should sleep well tonight, adults included.

We read the book ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Can You See?’ during Literacy. This was an absolute favourite of ours so far this year so we made lovely brown bear paintings using forks. Watch out for our next piece of art and try and guess what we have used.
