Sleeping Beauty

  Hi everyone!

We have had a very busy week. Here is what we have been learning.

We have been learning new sounds p, i, and n. And we are beginning to see if we can blend these sounds together to make words. We are continuing to write on our sound sheets and send them home.

We have been learning about our Oxford Reading Tree characters that will be in our story books. We have heard stories about Kipper and Biff and Chip.

We have been listening to lots of Sleeping Beauty stories and have lots of different areas of learning which will help us learn about Sleeping Beauty. After we listened to all the stories we voted using Active Expressions. We had to think about which one was our favourtie.

    

We also have been listening to stories about princess too. We have a castle, puppets and Sleeping Beauty’s Bedroom in Mrs Munro’s Learning Zone and have been making crowns in the classroom.

   

We have also been watching a DVD about Sleeping Beauty made with shadow puppets. We were amazed with it and are going to vote about whether we like the book or the DVD the best. We have a big floor book and will start to put all the things we are learning about Sleeping Beauty into it.

   

In maths we have been counting, learning numbers and sorting. We used maths boxes. We used the frogs maths box and sang five speckled frogs and we used the Bad Tempered Ladybird box. We listened to the story and counted the ladybirds with spots.

   

We used the Promethean Board to sort bears and sorted buttons and other things into sets too.

Sounds, Shapes and Bugs

Welcome to the end of week three for our P1’s. It’s been a busy week with parents joining us for a school lunch. And it was Elaine the Cook made yummy spaghetti bolognese!

Our latest Jolly Phonics sounds are c, k and e. We have been looking for things beginning with these sounds and playing memory games to test our brains.

In maths we have been sorting. We can sort things by colour and size and put them into groups. We have also been making patterns with beads and peg boards. Try asking us about shapes because we have learning about triangles, circles, squares and rectangles.

Look out for our entry at the Dundee Flower & Food Festival at Camperdown Park as we have put in a P1 entry. We had great fun with our first art lesson and made bees, ladybirds, caterpillars and butterflies.

Full time on Monday. Looking forward to being in school from 9am till 3.15pm.
