We have been reading about Jack and the Beanstalk. We learnt about real (not magic) beans and what happens when they are planted in the soil. We have planted some of our own and hopefully we see them grow over the next couple of weeks. We will also be completing some lovely Jack and the Beanstalk art work so keep an eye out for that.

As part of our new topic - Once Upon a Time, we read the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
We decided to build our own bridges and test if these were strong enough for the goats to cross.
The children loved thinking of different materials to use and working together as a group to create a bridge.
it was then very exciting as we tested these out over our ‘river’ to see if the goat got wet. I can confirm all of our bridges stayed standing! 🎉

We made pancakes today in Primary 1, in anticipation of Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday) next week during our half-term break. We made a list of ingredients that we would need to make our pancakes and followed a recipe together. Then we cooked our pancakes and enjoyed eating them for our morning snack. The favourite toppings were butter and sugar or jam.

We had a look outside at the trees around our school and how the weather feels when it is Winter. We noticed that the leaves had fallen off the trees so that the branches were bare. The next day we made watched Mrs Agnew tear some strips of black paper to make the different sizes of the trunk, branches and twigs. Once we glued these on, we added some finger print snow during play.

The P1 boys and girls enjoyed a visit to Armagh County Museum to learn more about toys. We had the opportunity to play with toys from the past and to find out about how they were different from toys we might play with nowadays. We talked about the materials used to make toys and about how they move. The children made fabulous peg aeroplanes and peg dolls to bring home.

We have enjoyed learning about ‘more/less than’ this week, through lots of practical activities.
