P1 and P2 WORLD AROUND US

Primary 1 and Primary 2 have been looking at the topic ‘Five a Day’. They have been looking at how eating vegetables and fruit is a great way to keep our bodies healthy.

They have been linking their topic work to all aspects of their learning.

• Numeracy - sorting and counting apples. Sorting leaves and sticks and seeds.

• Literacy - reading Handa’s Surprise and Oliver’s Vegetables. They wrote their own poem together. They used some really great describing words in their poem
