Alien Words
Primary 1 have been reading all types of words this week. Reading alien words is a great way to check phonic skills. Could you read quap, shoj or pluv?
Play the game below by reading the word and deciding if it is a real word (Astronaut) or fake word (alien word)
Dance
We have been exploring dances from around the world. We have noticed different beats, instruments in the music and actions for each.
From voting we found out that Bollywood was the most popular dance with our class with comments such as “I like the Bollywood music”, “I like the beat” and “I like the actions”.
Electricity and energy
Primary 1 investigated what makes toys ‘go’ and created their own wind up spinners while learning about energy. We had so much fun we forgot to take photos!
Explore the website below to find out about different types of energy and electrical safety.
