Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to our first blog of 2013!

This week we have been doing a lot of  revising  as we can sometimes forget things when we are away from school and having fun on holiday.

We have gone over all our sounds and tricky words this week and played lots of games and activities to refresh our memories!

              

We also talked about the lovely and exciting things we got for our Christmas. We wrote a sentence to  tell each other about our favourite gift.

              

We revised all our numbers and practised counting and addition. We also played lots of number games to get our brains working!

  

In P1C we were making picture frames to go into our new home corner. We scrunched up lots of tissue paper and dipped them in a glue solution and stuck them onto our frames. We then had to press them down firmly so they were close together and no white parts of the card frame was showing. When the glue is dry and the tissue paper has hardened, we are going to paint them and then put our photographs in them so we can hang them in our new home corner.

In P1A our home corner will be a baby clinic and we made  flip charts with our teacher of  all the things we already knew about clinics and all the things we think should be in our baby clinic. In  P1 B we made a  mind map to discuss all the things we are going to need for our home corner. Our home corner is going to be a toy shop and we also drew  pictures of the things that we thought should go into our shop. 

              

                

In gym this week we were practising controlling our bodies. We were balancing, making diffierent shapes and doing pencil rolls. As you can see we were really concentrating hard and thinking about how our body moves.
