We have had a really creative couple of weeks in P1a. Today we used sticky back plastic to create nature pictures. It was really tricky to stick the flowers without touching the sticky back plastic (which we saved from landfill).

In Maths we have been learning about position and direction and we combined this with our Social Studies learning about our environment by creating local area maps and navigating around them using the Bee Bots.

We used our angle finders to identify right angles in the classroom environment and in 2D shapes.

 

 

 

 

 

We tidied the area at our classroom door and planted out our beans.

We have had so much fun with Mr Eadie and his drama lessons.

Here are some more pictures of this week’s learning.

I hope everyone has a great long weekend and that the weather stays as lovely as it was today.

 

It has been a really quick week in p1a. We have been so engaged with our Space Topic. This week we wrote about Saturn and some of the children have been busy writing their own books at home and in the creative and writing areas. We now have a box of Space jigsaws in the classroom, some of them are really challenging, but we have persevered and completed them all.

In maths, we have been developing our problem solving skills through a series of activities. We have had to listen carefully and think logically.

It was really tricky at times, but when we cracked it, we were so proud of ourselves.

In literacy, we continue to challenge ourselves sounding out unfamiliar words and reading increasingly challenging books.

Outdoors this week, we took advantage of the lovely weather.

 

 

 

 

 

Some of us have been reading a book about a clapping dance, so we created our own clapping dances.

We look forward to welcoming our grown ups to the open days next week. Here are a few more pictures from this week.

This week, our class book has been The King’s Pants, so we took our giant pants to show at our assembly. We all designed a pair of pants for the new king to wear for his Coronation and then we worked together to paint our designs on a giant pair of pants!

We have been talking about things that will change after the Coronation and went to look at the post box outside of the school to see the ER11 insignia that will be different on any new post boxes.

In literacy, we have been working on our blending skills, reading unfamiliar words and then recording us saying them in the talking tins.

In Maths we have been learning about patterns in numbers and creating complex patterns.

In PE we have been developing our team listening skills and have started to practise our running skills for sport’s day.
