P1 learnt to take photos on the iPads. They were to take photos of different things in the classroom that used a push, a pull and a twist force.
They then used PicCollage to show the photos they had taken.

Shrove Tuesday and Fairtrade

10 train subtraction
We love making our own subtraction calculations and using our ten trains to help us.
Chinese New Year
We have loved learning about Chinese New Year. We have been learning about and creating our own dragon dances, painting dragons and making fans. The class worked together to make a giant dragon’s head which we will use when performing our dragon dance.
We even make vegetable stir fry noodles using our bridge and claw grips when learning to chop the vegetables safely. The vegetable stir fry was a huge success.
The Chinese Restaurant role-play area has been a favourite in the class too this week.
