P1 Farm Trip (Part 2)

P1 enjoyed their trip to Streamvale farm today. They got to feed lots of aminals, go on a tractor ride, stroke the rabbits and chicks and even have a go at milking a cow.

Primary one had a special visit from the Vice Lord Lieutenant of County Antrim on our Jubilee celebration day. She told us all about The Queen and the Royal Family. Thank you for joining us on our special day. @ALieutenancy

As part of our outdoor play this week, P1 worked together to make a road. There was a lot of problem solving involved. The children added a zebra crossing and traffic lights and then enjoyed travelling in their cars and practising their road safety skills.

P1 are learning about money and have been making given amounts using 1p coins.

P1 have been finding lots of ways to make 9 😊

In P1 we are learning to spell words independently using letter sounds.

P1 were joined by their P7 buddies today as they went on an Easter word hunt around the school grounds. The P1 boys and girls had to find the hidden eggs and read the word to their P7 buddy before writing it down. Afterwards P1 and P7 enjoyed a chocolate egg hunt.

P1 have been using their mathematical thinking skills during play. They have been deciding, predicting, planning and recording when looking at how far their cars will travel and which will travel the furthest.

P1 have been enjoying their play based learning during the month of April. Our topic this month is road safety and alongside this the children have been learning about money. They have enjoyed using coins to buy items in our shop, writing shopping lists and fishing for coins.
