Over the last 2 days we have been doing lots of Numeracy work surrounding numbers. Some of the boys and girls today were even doing addition calculations.
We were practising reading numbers and building towers of the corresponding amount. Miss Stevenson taught some of us a game called Bang! We loved when she had to give away all her cards.
Today in class we completed lots of rhyming jobs – we were all very good.
We also learnt all about what the House Point Reward System in school is. Please see the Class Info Tab for your child’s house colour.
Please note that each Tuesday from 11.45am Mrs McKillop will be the class teacher. To allow for Miss Stevenson’s planning time.
This morning we practiced pencil control and writing our first names – some of us wrote our Surname also. We tried to keep our writing small and make sure our names had a capital letter at the start.
In Numeracy we explored the Ten Trains and showed Miss Stevenson our counting skills as well as writing our answers down. 2, 3 and 5 are really tricky to write with our tiny hands.
This afternoon we had a choice of a few activities, including drawing and lego. Some of us played a counting game with Miss Stevenson.
Today we were doing lots of number work with Miss Stevenson and Mrs G.
We also did lots of jobs on sounds and sounds we can hear (Phonological Assessment and Initial Sounds Assessment).
This afternoon we had Friday Free Time and played lots. Some of us wanted to watch Bluey because we were TIRED!
This morning we were put in to groups and given our very first task board and had 4 jobs to complete. We all listened very well and tried to be very independent. Here are some of us doing a drawing job and playing in the messy area.
After break we went to P.E. and played some team games in the Gym Hall.
This afternoon we painted a self portrait and had a little play.
The pupils had a blast during their first day at school. After we waved the adults goodbye we got to know each other and the classroom. We played outside and ate lunch with our buddies. We even had our first wet play at lunchtime. Mr Houston said our behaviour was great.
Miss Stevenson read us a story called –
The story spoke about all the emotions we might go through on leaving our adults to come to school. Ask us about the Kissing Hand and we will show you what to do.
All pupils were great all day and already showing the school values of – Ambition, Honesty, Kindness and Respect.
