Off on another trip!

We learnt that children wrote on slates in the olden days.
We had to make calling cards so that we could visit Mrs Bond in her big house.
This is Tommy's bedroom. There were some very interesting things in it!
This is how boys and girls would have dressed long ago.

It was fun playing with Tommy's toys.

The play park was great fun.

Heading back to school - tired but happy after a great day out!

Our Visit to Armagh Museum

We are learning about toys. We went to the museum to find out about old toys. The ride in the bus is always good fun!

Here we are outside the museum.

Sarah showed us lots of toys - we compared new toys with old toys.
We put these teddy bears in order from the oldest to the youngest.

It was fun playing with the old toys.

We made a toy all by ourselves - it was great fun!
Here we are back at school with the toys that we made.

A visit from a mummy and her baby

One of our mummies came for a visit. She brought her baby so that we could find out what babies can or cannot do. We are going to bring in baby photographs in order to see how we have changed.
 We went for a walk in order to find out what happens in the springtime.
These are our daffodils. We planted the bulbs a long time ago.

It was fun painting daffodils.

Happy Easter!

We designed our own Easter masks and baskets.

 

It was fun taking part in an Easter egg hunt.

Today we were learning that some materials can be changed by heating them. We melted chocolate to make rice krispie nests.

Guess what!  An emu chick came to visit us!

We enjoyed making Mother's Day cards for our mummies.
Our topic for the next number of weeks is 'Ourselves.' These are our self-portraits.

A nurse came to visit us. She told us about her job.

Water Science Day

As part of our Maths and Science curriculum, P1 had a Wonderful Science Day.

We designed and built boats and then took them out and tested them in our big paddling pool.

That was the best bit!

We were so excited to discover if they would float or sink!

We then tested our boats by putting blocks in them to see which one could carry the heaviest cargo.

Robbie's boat was the strongest and was able to carry 8 blocks.

Nursery Rhymes

Humpty Dumpty is one of our favourite rhymes. We enjoyed making walls and watching him fall off!

We looked at different types of eggs.

We decided that Humpty Dumpty was probably an ostrich egg.
We made Humpty Dumpty out of a hen's egg. It was fun finding out how high our wall needed to be before he broke.
We used play dough to make our own Humpty Dumpty.
It was fun making Humpty Dumpty at our Art and Design area.
