Wonderful Start to School Life!!

..
What a wonderful first couple of weeks! Primary 1B have settled well into school life. We are all working hard and enjoying being in room 3! On our first day, we decided that we should have a set of rules for our class. This is to make sure it is a happy and safe place to learn each day. We want to be able to work and play happily together. 

..

As well as thinking about how we work inside the class, room 3 also thought about how we would behave outside the classroom. With Mrs Wallace and Mrs Ross' help we chose our own 'quality indicators' to remind ourselves what our work-times, listening times and lines should be like. Our Pupil of the Week always leads our line as they are able to set an excellent example! Everyone who visits our class comments on how good we are already at listening, working quietly and playing together co-operatively!

..

We have also been talking about the rights we have as children. Although this has been quite hard for us to think about, both our teachers say we are doing very well – our class has been able to think about ideas for our own class charter to go alongside our ‘qualities’.

Twiggle the Turtle has visited our class along with his friends Duke the Dog, Daphne the Duck and Henreitta the Hedgehog. Our new animal pals will help us learn about feelings and ways to stay calm, during special Circle-times.They will also teach us about how to be a good friend. Twiggle will choose a V.I.P. from room 3 each day, who will get to wear a special rosette and eat lunch at a special table in the dinner hall. Each V.I.P. will listen to compliments from their classmates when Twiggle chooses them. How lovely!!

Each week, a very special member of our class will get to visit somewhere exciting! Murphy the Monkey watches all week to see who has been working hard and trying their very best. He chooses who he would like to go home with for the weekend. We have looked at his photo diaries from previous years - we loved hearing about his adventures with other children! We are all hoping will come home with us soon!
