P1- Invention and play

We love learning and playing in our class and outdoor environment and this week lots of us made some very inventive and creative models using different construction materials. We can share our thinking and tell others about our designs and how we overcame challenges. Amongst other things we had a waterfall, a new floor, a house with a trampoline, a train, some tall tall towers, a Lego work truck and even a real stick man!

Phonics fun!


We have been working hard to learn some of our very first sounds. Here we are even trying to blend together or ‘squeeze up’ these sound to read a whole word! Luckily Fred the frog was there to help us and we did a great job! When we weren’t working with our teacher, we were trying to represent some of our sounds using different things, like the Kapla (wooden blocks) shown in the photo. Libby made a fantastic 3D ‘m’ and turned it into a garage for some cars and Emily even made her whole name!
