We have had a great week this week. We all achieved the P1 target of staying green all week! We had an extra special golden time to mark this great achievement. They were delicious.

Star Writers
We wrote stories about a pig in fancy knickers based on the story ‘The Pig’s knickers.’ Our targets were to correctly spell ‘the’ in our writing, to choose an interesting character and to use lots of detail. We voted for the four star writers that we thought had achieved their targets. We tried to give kind and helpful comments about our friends’ writing to help them get better.
Here are the very proud star writers.
Team games
This week we have been learning two new team games in gym: Dr Dodgeball and Robbers. We been learning to work as a team, follow a series of rules and to get better at turn taking.
Look at us in our ‘huddles’ trying to make some tactical team decisions!
Dr Dodgeball.
Outdoor maths
We have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather this week. On Thursday we took our maths activities outside. We played racing games on the number square to help us get better at recognising numbers to 100 – your child could maybe show you this whilst you’re waiting for the bell in the morning. We also made giant number lines and jumped, hopped or skipped up and down them to help us see how easy it is to add or subtract 1. We finished with a team game using adding sums, hoops and bean bags.
Open day
Thank you to all of the parents for visiting the classroom on the open day on Wednesday. I hope you enjoyed it as much as the children did. They did a fantastic job of showing you all of the things they have been learning about.
Request
Please collect some take-away containers for us to store our magnetic letters in. This will make spelling activities easier in the classroom (and is a great excuse for a take-away this weekend!) Please send them in a.s.a.p. Thank you.
Literacy activities
Today we used bingo daubers to make dots on our letter d’s. They look beautiful. We all worked hard to try doing the dots in the direction that we make the letter d. We also had fun making our new words in the rice trays. We hope you get to see this in action when you come to the open evening tomorrow.
Singing with Miss Hamilton
We really enjoy singing with Miss Hamilton every Monday. We have been learning to use sticks to keep a steady beat. And have been trying to make our letters with the sticks in different songs. We have also been learning to join in with lots of different songs and actions.
Happy news!
We were star class at assembly this week. We had been listening very carefully to Miss Mackay. Please go to Miss Mackay’s blog to see us with our trophy.

This week the top table were the yellow table again! They got 96 cubes. Here they are with their certificates.
