Pictures from our last day! June 29, 2011
We had a lovely day today- first we wrote about Stanley’s adventures, read some more emails sent to us, then we had a picnic outside and we played games (and had a little party) in the afternoon. Thanks to the children in the class for a fantastic year- you are all super and I’ve enjoyed teaching you all! Thanks to the class parents for all your help and support throughout the year, it’s been a great year. Today is Christian’s birthday so a very happy birthday to him!
It’s our last week in first class! June 27, 2011
The year has passed so quickly and we are busy getting organised for the holidays. The children are taking home some of their books and copies each night this week. Please empty your school bag so that you can carry home more books each day. A big thank you to everyone who sent in emails for our Flat Stanley project. We will do a recap of all the places Stanley went during the week. As you know, we get our holidays this Thursday however Wednesday is our last day together. We will be having an end of year party Wednesday afternoon. The children can bring in a DVD/ small game (cards, board game etc…) if they wish. They do not need to bring in treats as I’ll have some in the classroom. It’ll be a fun and sad day as we say goodbye to 1st class!

Flat Stanley letters. June 2, 2011
As the sports day is taking place tomorrow, we will be writing our letters next Tuesday as part of the Flat Stanley project. The project involves posting Stanley (like he was posted in the book) to someone you know and having them take Stanley somewhere, taking a photograph and explaining briefly where they took him. They can then either post him back to you at home or email us (address will be on the letter they receive) with the photo as an attachment (this may be an easier option).
In order to post the letters to a relative or friend (either in Ireland or the UK) the children will need the address of the person to whom they are sending the letter-I will have the stamps and envelopes so all we need is the address.
Please send in the address of the person to whom your child is sending their Flat Stanley to, next Tuesday 7th June so that we will be able to complete this project before the end of the school year. Thanks-we look forward to seeing the photographs!
Class news… May 31, 2011
- We have completed all addition and subtraction tables up to 10. For the month of June we will be revising them all. Please continue to use Times for Tables to quiz your child as part of homework.
