Hello from the Primrose class! We are busy learning all about the signs of spring. We are enjoying spring poems and singing songs of spring during circle time. We have been taking nature walks to see the wonderful changes that spring brings, such as beautiful daffodils and newborn lambs. We even had two baby lambs come into class to visit us, and we loved them!
We got very creative with paint and bun cases to make our own daffodils, and they turned out so wonderfully. We have also been learning all about friendships and how important they are. We are reading and enjoying different stories about friendship. We are learning to accept that everyone is different, embracing those differences, and always supporting our friends.
We have fun in drama, playing the different roles from various stories and rhymes, and practicing our own dance moves. We made pancakes in our cookery class and enjoyed a pancake party for Pancake Tuesday. Sugar and butter were our favourite toppings for our delicious pancakes.
We also had fun learning about St. Brigid’s Day, and Rosemary, our SNA, showed us how to make St. Brigid’s crosses. We made beautiful Valentine’s crafts, such as Valentine’s cards for our loved ones, as well as tasty treats. We are very artistic and have made prints using our fingers, hands, and feet.
We are developing our language and communication skills by using Lámh signs and our PECS throughout the day, especially during circle time. We are also enjoying pre-writing and colouring activities. We love maths in the Primrose class and are doing so well with our classifying, matching, comparing, and ordering activities. We are great at using our problem-solving skills!
We are delighted to be back swimming and are amazing in the water. We look forward to planting flowers and learning even more about spring. We had our own class parade for St. Patrick’s Day, and we have so much more fun ahead in the Primrose class.
Come back soon to hear all about the fun we get up to in the Primrose class.
