P1R Celebrate Chinese New Year

P1R have been learning a little bit about Chinese New Year.

We read the story behind why Chinese New Year is celebrated and how the Chinese calendar came to be.

We practised our ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) whilst retelling the story.

We learnt that this year is the year of the tiger 🐯. Most of us in P1R are born in the year of the monkey 🐒 but two of us were born in the year of the goat 🐐!

We had a go at drawing some fantastic Chinese Dragons 🐲…

We also had a go at a Chinese Dragon dance…

What’s been happening in P1R – Term 1

We have been very busy in P1 Rainbows!

We have been learning all about numbers! We have been practicing recognising numbers and putting them in the right order.
We have a number wall in our classroom to help us. It has Numberblocks, 5 and 10 frames, finger patterns, dice patterns and numicon. We need to be able to recognise these things without counting – this is called subitising.

We have also been learning some sounds. We know 6 sounds so far.

We have been learning how to write a description. We can write a colour sentence, a number sentence, a shape sentence or a size sentence.

Our first topic was the 5 senses – they are smell, taste, hearing, sight and touch.

Our other topic was Journeys, and we are still doing this topic just now.

we have been learning how to use the computers. We have been learning the names of the different parts – the screen, the mouse, the keyboard and the tower.

We also get to do lots of C.O.O.L Time. C.O.O.L Time means ‘Continuing Our Own Learning’. We get to be the teacher and make our own choices for own learning.
