Primary 1

Toys

We began our topic on toys by exploring Matsy Mouse's favourite toy.

We brought in one of our favourite toys. It was fun talking about it and showing our friends how it worked.

We enjoyed painting a picture of our favourite toy.

Our Trip to the Argory

The ride on the bus is always exciting.

We made calling cards so that we could visit Mrs Bond in her beautiful big house.

Tommy had lots of toys in his bedroom.

Guess what - we were allowed to play the piano in Mrs Bond's living room.

We look really well in our aprons and caps!

We look really well in our waistcoats and caps!

We looked at a painting of sunflowers by a famous artist called Van Gogh before making our own pictures.

Easter

It was great fun making chocolate nests.

Our Easter Egg hunt was great fun!

Happy Easter!

Ourselves

We are learning about ourselves. We are very pleased with our self-portraits.

We are learning about how much we have grown. It was fun having a mummy bring her baby in to visit us.

Our school nurses came to our class for a visit. They told us about their job and showed us how to put on a bandage. We also got to use a stethoscope.

Our role play area is now a hospital. It is fun pretending to be a nurse, doctor, patient or receptionist.

We went for a walk to look for signs of spring. It was exciting to see how well our daffodils and hyacinth plant have grown.

World Book Day

We asked the children in P.7 to read us one of our favourite stories. It was great fun.

We made these lovely snowmen at our making area.

We are very pleased with the lovely Valentine cards that we made.

Our hyacinth is now fully grown. We are very happy!

Our Winter walk was good fun. We looked at the trees to see if they had any leaves.

Guess what - we found an evergreen tree!

We designed our own front covers for one of our favourite books called Jimmy's Snowy Book.

Number games are great fun!

We are really pleased that our hyacinth is growing so well.

At the end of January, Primary 1 went on an exciting trip to Quality Time in Banbridge. The theme was "Space" and the children enjoyed playing with all the many educational toys and learned a lot about this topic. The boys and girls got to dress up as astronauts and play in an amazing space den. They loved putting on scientists' coats and examining different rocks. The children experimented with magnets and forces and developed imaginative play skills with rockets and space shuttles. The highlight of the trip (apart from the wonderful snack time of fruit, pancakes, cheese and crackers) was painting and printing with magical space paint - which GLOWED IN THE DARK!

Christmas is coming!

It was fun decorating our Christmas tree.

We had a Christmas party with P2 - it was great fun!

Welcome to our school play - 'Strictly the Nativity'

Meet Mary and Joseph

What a happy group of shepherds!

Have you ever seen cuter looking sheep?

Our angels are so pretty!

Our trip to W5

The ride on the bus was great although we thought we'd never get there!

Climbit was brilliant - we could climb as high as we wanted to and it was perfectly safe!

The big play area was such fun!

We heard the story of the Nutcracker

We all got a ride on the Winter land Express

Look what we saw!

Guess what - we saw Santa too!

Here we are on our way home - can you work out who is really sleeping and who is pretending???

We are very pleased with our Christmas cards

Don't we look great in our lovely Christmas jumpers!

Our school postman came to visit us. He told us about his job.

We went outside to have a look at his van.

Our role play area is the Post Office. It is fun being the postman or postlady.

It is fun visiting the Post Office.

We are wrapping up the lovely things that we made at the making area.

Here we are in the queue at the Post Office so that we can get our parcels weighed.

We are learning about how to send a letter. Here we are sorting out 1st and 2nd class stamps.

We are enjoying our making area - look at our lovely models!

Autumn

It was fun going for a walk to look for signs of autumn. We found chestnuts and acorns. We also noticed that the leaves are changing colour and falling off the trees.
