We made predictions about how many cups of water it would take to fill different objects. We then measured accurately to check the actual capacity of the objects.

P1 Measure: Length
We were exploring measure in the classroom today using pipe cleaners, ribbons and sticks. We practised using the language – long, short, longer, shorter, longest and shortest when comparing the lengths of things.
P1 Symmetry with Numicon
We created symmetrical patterns and pictures with numicon today.
P1 Symmetry
Today we have been learning about symmetry and we had fun painting symmetrical pom pom hats.
P1 Christmas Directions
We used the beebots and Lego people to find different Christmas objects. P1 created beebot mazes as well. Super use of directions!
P1 Left and Right
We learnt about directions and have been practising our left and right. Mrs Conetta’s top teacher tip was to hold out our hands in front of us, keep all fingers straight and stick out thumb out to the side and see which hand makes a capital L. This is our left hand!
We directed our friends around a grid using the directions – forwards, backwards, left and right.
P1 3D shapes
We were exploring the properties of 3D shapes today and worked with others to count how many faces, edges and corners they had.
P1 3D Shapes
We have been learning about cubes and cuboids today. We exploring building with them in the construction area.
P1 2D Shapes
We were learning to sort 2D shapes in different ways today e.g. by colour, by type and by number of sides.
We had fantastic examples of 2D shapes made out of playdough and discussion about the number of sides and corners.
P1 2D Shapes
We have been learning about the properties of 2D shapes and exploring making them with playdough and lolly sticks.
