Fun Phonics

As part of our phonics learning we play games such as this one Roll and Read. Here we are working with a partner, reading words with the long 'u' sound and having fun while we are learning.

Junior Achievement Programme

We have really enjoyed participating in the Junior Achievement programme this year. We have been doing the Our Families theme with Nessagh over the last 6 weeks and have really enjoyed learning all about the different ways we can help on our local communities, the difference between needs and wants as well as becoming entrepreneurs coming up with our own ideas for a cake business! We made thank you cards for Nessagh and gave them to her after our last session. We were all so delighted to receive our certificates!

Garden Bird Projects

We are practising many skills during our garden bird groupwork projects. We are learning how to source information, rewrite key facts in our own words as well as building on sharing, listening, taking turns and working together. We are having great fun and we are learning lots about birds we see in our gardens and school grounds. Stay tuned for the finished projects!

Designing and Making a Scarecrow and Scarecrow Drawings

We were so excited to enter the local Pumpkin Patch's Design a Scarecrow competition. We looked at photographs of scarecrows and brainstormed the kind of things we would need in order to make our own scarecrow. We made a list and then we began to bring in the items. Once we had gathered everything we needed we voted on the best trousers, shirt, wellies, hat etc to use to make our scarecrow. We worked together to dress the scarecrow and filled his body with straw. Ms Hill helped us with some of the tricky bits like tying the twine and attaching the head. We took turns designing our scarecrow's face. We are really happy with how he turned out. He is now on show for all to see at the Pumpkin Patch and we hope he is having a nice time there and helping out to keep the birds away from the lovely pumpkins! We have our fingers crossed for the Pizza Party prize but if we don't win we won't be too disappointed as we had so much fun making our scarecrow.  Thanks to everyone for b
