Wow, just like that the first day of school has arrived! Primary 5, can hardly believe it! So nice to be back with so many of the children that I taught in P2 and also lovely to have a new bunch. I can already tell that this year is going to be fabulous!
We had a great morning, starting with PE and then we had a chance to chat and share what we did in the holidays and some targets and expectations for this year. We have 31 children in the class so it is going to be our job to make sure everyone tidies up after themselves that we help others so that we have a great learning space.
We designed a T-shirt that was about ourselves. We talked about expectations and what they should look like before we started. They are going to look great once they are finished.
Just before lunch we did the Daily 10, this is our chance to challenge ourselves, whether is is by trying to run or walk a bit faster, do an extra lap or just try to keep running the whole time. We are looking to increase our stamina and fitness.
In the afternoon we are going to spend time talking about our ‘Class Charter’. This is linked to the UNCRC (Rights of the Child). We are going to talk about what we expect of each other, what we expect of ourselves and what we expect of Miss Rae. Our Charter will be based on ‘Toy Story’ as we have a new year and a new class, we have the chance to build new friendships, develop current friendships and as a class be loyal to each other. We will continue to work on this across the week.
We will also be bringing home ‘My Little Book of Things’ which has information that you need to know and the children need to know and it will also (when it’s up and running) be where spelling words are kept. These must come in to school each day. Blue bags are also going to be used, if you don’t have one then an A4 wallet will be fine.
