Birthdays and Celebrations - September 2020
It was a great joy to invite our new Primary Ones to our Classroom.
Aoife, Dearbhla, Erik, Faye, James, Jessica, Romy, Shauna and Shea.
We have had a busy month in the P1 and P2 classroom. Our topic was all about ‘Birthdays and Celebrations’. We talked all about our favourite birthday presents and surprises. We made party balloons to celebrate the month that we were born in.
In Role-play we set up a ‘Birthday party zone’, making props for a birthday party using party banners, streamers, invitations, party hats, food and drinks. In Literacy we read class books about ‘Bun’s Birthday, Spots Surprise and Spots Party. In writing we made invitations, cards and wrote about the best birthday present ever.
In Numeracy we had great fun problem solving relating to building/design tasks. We enjoyed matching/sorting hats, plates, buns for each person at the party. The children used maths language associated with measuring long/longer: Short/shorter: Tall/taller also counting plates/cups for party guests.
Outdoors we enjoyed playing party games, Parachute games and playing musical chairs and statues.
It truly is fantastic to be back with all our friends in school.
