P1b Porridge & Play at St Marys
02 October 2019
Last month, Primary 1b shared some of the Lickety Playcard games they had learnt with lots of their families! –
We played Big as a Bear, Funky Chicken (where we met a Feathery Peacock and a Funny Elephant!), Witches Fingers and Pirates!
It was great to get to play outside in the blustery sunshine.
Here are some things the children said about their Reflective Drawings in the Gallery…
C – A cat or a caterpillar – you have to guess! A lion! I liked the food bit. Banana.
S – you have to guess! Mum! I liked the dressing up bit.
L & Mum – This is Ls family walking in the park – favourite part was coming in here for the food.
O – This is a ninja and this is me and that is the bad guy.
Y – It’s Y running outside, fave game witches fingers.
A – This is me, that’s the rainbow and the sun and my dad and mum and my house.
R – This is the table where we all have our lovely food – I loved all of the lovely food.
