St. Patrick's Day


St. Patrick's Day Ideas

Africa



This month February our theme is People and Places

Africa is the place we are studying.

African Tribal Masks

The Aztecs


During my DIP year with 6th class I taught them about The Aztecs. 

Aztec People with head dresses

Clay Aztec Patterns

Aztec Projects

The hearts were so important to the Aztec People, in Science I had my 6th class dissect hearts.

Roald Dahl


The 13th September is Roald Dahl's birthday. I always make a big deal of this with my classes, as I loved Roald Dahl when I was in primary school. This year I am going to read as many books as I can to my class. So far I have read the Magic Finger and we are in the middle of Fantastic Mr Fox at the moment.


In Enģlish my class created Wanted Posters for Mr Fox 


In Art we created symmetry Mr Foxes. I printed photos of Fantastic Mr Fox and cut them in half and had my class draw the other side of the fox. See below.

Pictures of our favourite part of The Magic Finger

The Tummy Beast Poem 
Creating Images- what they imagined the tummy beast to look like.

The Twits Character Profiles 

Valentine's Theme

I was looking for something new to do this year with my class for Valentine's Day and came across this idea on pinterest which then lead me to the firstgradeparadeblog where I got the worksheet for this activity.

We have been working hard on story elements in 1st class. The last two weeks have been spent on BME (beginning, middle, end). I read this story to my class and then on the worksheet I got from firstgradeparadeblog had my kids pick out the BME of the story. Afterwards we created Polly the Piglet Jigsaw pigs.
