3D shapes all around us!
As part of our homework we were looking for 3D shapes that we could bring into school to show our peers and see if they could guess what shape we had found. Well done to Harry, Georgia, Amelia and Tom P who found these fab shapes and spoke to the class about them. The shapes included cylinders, cuboids, spheres and a cube!
P1- Shapes are everywhere!
We have been learning all about 2d shapes. We were shape detectives and went out on a shape hunt, sorted and drew our own shapes, made shape families and our own creative shape pictures. We have been learning the names and properties of lots of different shapes and used the computers to help apply our learning in a new way. Next we will learn a little about shapes which are not flat, but instead have 3 dimensions.
P1- Our Class Timetable
As part of our learning about time and how it links to our daily activities, we have a new weekly class calendar to help us know what we are doing, what comes next and how our week looks. We have been trying hard to use it to find information and learn more about the time impacts each part of our day.
P1- Time to learn about half past
We are enjoying learning all about time. We learned how to tell a half past time and discussed how half is if something is shared in two equal parts. We noticed that 6 is half of 12 using our numicon and adding skills and this is why the 6 is right at the bottom of he clock face. We had a great time making our own watches using our knowledge of the clock and it’s parts. Continue reading P1- Time to learn about half past
P1- Telling the Time
We have been learning all about time. We have focussed on-
. What we already know including hearing time spoken about throughout the day at home and school, seeing the time on clocks, watches, phones, iPads, TVs and computer and units of time including days, weeks, months, years and even hours, minutes and seconds!
.We sang songs to help us to remember the days of the week and months of the year and are working in the order of these.
.We sorted everyday activities into things we do in the morning, afternoon or evening and learned about day and night.
.We learned about the structure of an analogue clock 🕰 It has a clock face, hands which tell us different parts of the time and numbers from 1-12 with 12 always being at the very top. When the big long minute hand points here it means o’clock!
.We worked in teams to create our own clock using hula hoops, sticks, flash cards and numicon. It was challenging but lots of fun!
.We played time bingo to help us to tell o’clock times.
.We have been telling our teacher the time during the school day.
