We have been getting festive in P1M this week. The children have enjoyed taking part in Christmas themed purposeful play opportunities. Ranging from reinacting he Nativity story in our own stable to creating festive designs at the craft table.

Our class have also taken responsibility this week for the school’s Christmas Post. We developed our skills for the world of work by sorting the post and delivering cards to the correct classes on time. We had to work cooperatively, use our organisation skills and have good time management.

Literacy

In Literacy this week we have learned 3 new sounds. Ch, au and x. We also used our writing skills to write letters to Santa which we are going to post on the morning of Friday 13th December. Hopefully we will get a reply from the man himself before the Christmas holidays!

Numeracy

We have been consolidating our knowledge of numbers to 30 as we head towards the holidays. We have also learned about the seasons and the order of a school day.

Space

This week we enjoyed learning about what the solar system is and even learned the names of all 8 planets.
