Tuesday the 5th of December was World Soil Day. We thought about the importance of soil and planted bulbs around our privilege area. We also created designs for the whole school poster on our Eco board.

Hello all!

We have a very special Book Bug event in class on Tuesday 5th December at 1:45.  Parents, grandparents and guardians are all invited to attend.

During this time we will be doing some fun activities, listening to a story and getting a special bag containing some free books and other goodies.

While we understand that not everyone will be able to attend we would be delighted if you could join us for it.

Thank you,

Mr Madine and the Primary 1 class

All of the boys and girls in the Primary 1 class now have their Education City usernames and passwords.  We have waited longer than other classes on this because there is a lot going on in Primary 1.  We are very careful about doing, and giving, too much too soon.

 

Some instructions

1. Go to the website (https://www.educationcity.com).
2. Click the blue “Login” button in the top right hand corner.
3. Use your unique username and password to access the site.
4. On the left hand side under the title “My features” you will see another link called “Classwork“.  This “Classwork” link has 2 folders.  The folder called “Primary 1 Mr Madine” is the correct one for our class.
5. In this folder you will find games and activities to play.

N.B.

• Some games can be played on a phone / tablet.   They’ll have a blue symbol on the picture.
• The monster picture (avatar) can be changed by clicking on it.
• Feel free to explore other areas of the website but it is important to understand that there will be a lot of it that is not relevant for us.  We’re only P1 after all!
• All of the games and activities in “Classwork” are related to things we have been learning in class.

If you have any questions, or have lost your username and / or password, please ask.  They are easily replaced.

Thank you,

Mr Madine
