We have been celebrating this week in P1, we have now been at school for 100 days!

Our 100 day anniversary was on Wednesday but we began preparing for our celebrations earlier on in the week.

We made our party hats. We decorated bands of paper and cut out a “100” and stuck it on to the middle of the band. We then curled strips of paper and glued them on to the sides of our hats so it looked like we had multi coloured hair! We also decorated “100” style specs. We looked really cool with all our “100” head gear on.

               

                   

We thought it would be a good idea to include the rest of the school in our celebrations, so we made marshmallow top hats, chocolate rice krispie cakes and iced biscuits and sold them to all the boys and girls at break time. They sold very well indeed and we managed to raise money for school funds at the same time!

                             

On the day of our celebration itself we were very excited. We counted in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. We put our “10’s” lily pads in order from0 all the way to 100. We made 10 groups of 10 coloured cubes.

We painted 100 dots on our 100 picture. We had cakes in the shape of 100 (which we all ate later! Yum!) We had 100 candles in the shape of 100. No celebration would be complete without candles!

  

We jumped 100 jumps. We hopped 100 hops. We threw a beanbag 100 times and we ran 100 metres! What an exhausting day!

  

We also continued to look at our topic  generations. We looked at some old toys. Toys that maybe our grannies or great grannies and granddads might have played with. We looked at how they worked and we also got a chance to play with them.

  

  

P1C went to visit local pensioners at Servite housing. We asked them questions about the toys and games they played when they were children. One of the ladies showed us coins we had never seen before. They were coins that were in use when she was a little girl. We played some board games with the ladies and we had a lovely afternoon. P1A and P1B will also be visiting over the next few weeks.

  

We revisited and revised all our sounds this week and we were also writing words that our teacher said out loud to see if we could sound out and then write the word. We also have sentence cards. We read the sentence and drew a matching picture to show we understood what the sentence said then copied the sentence into our jotter.

  

We continued working on money this week and we matched cards of coins and to real coins. We had objects for sale in our shop and we had to find the correct coins to match the price tag, just like a real life shop.
