P1 thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story, Night Monkey, Day Monkey and have been exploring the differences between day and night.
Active Literacy
We have been learning lots of new sounds  and beginning to make lots more words with our magnetic letters and boards.
Addition
P1 have been using lots of practical materials to support them when learning addition. Â We have been using objects, Numicon, coat hangers and pegs and Rekenreks.
Planting Bulbs
We planted from spring bulbs outside in the planters. Â Look out for them in the Spring!
The Great Fenwick Bake Off
P1 have had a busy few weeks with lots of different learning experiences. Â Here is a snapshot of what they have been getting up to!
The Great Fenwick Bake Off
Pupils worked together to measure ingredients to make some delicious apple muffins for The Great Fenwick Bake Off competition.
Dot Images, Numicon and Teddy Frames
We are learning to recognise dot images. We chose a number card and then used counters to make the dot images.
We rolled dice and had to count the number of dots to work out how many teddies in the ten frames.
We had lots of fun pressing the Numicon into the sand to make different totals.
Childsmile
We had a visit from Angela from Childsmile and Snappy the crocodile who showed us how to brush our teeth properly.
P1 brush their teeth daily after lunch in class.
Numbers in our environment
We looked around our classroom, the school and playground to find numbers. P1 learnt to record their learning by taking photographs on the iPad.
World’s Largest Lesson
We watched a video about the Global Goals and talked about what changes we could make to help our planet.
We all added what we would like to change to a jigsaw piece.
“We are all a small piece of the jigsaw.”
Counting
We were learning to play dominoes. We had to count the dot patterns and match them.
We used 10 frames and we had to put in the counters.
We pressed the numicon into the playdough and made different numbers.
Child 1: “I used a 10 and a 1 and I made 11.”
Child 2: “I used a 4 and 4 and it makes 8.”
