We have been working hard on learning our common words this week through various games.

We spoke about our experiences of Bonfire Night and how to stay safe around fireworks. We made some pictures using pastels and black paper and even made a collage poster where we all worked together to add some colour and design.

We started toothbrushing this week and explored the importance of looking after our teeth and regular trips to the dentist.

We made playdough this week trying to follow the instructions and patiently waiting our turn to give it a mix. We definitely need more practice as it was very runny but we persevered and got there in the end.

We are now independently working through our literacy and numeracy targets and Mrs Denholm has been so pleased to see everyone working together as well as on their own to learn through play.

We explored a growth mindset and the idea that when things are tricky we keep practising so we can get better at them. We tried to lift and move pom poms using chopsticks which was very tricky at first but had smiles all round when we experienced success.

We took our literacy learning out into the P1 garden this morning to practise our sounds and blending. We had good fun working as a team to identify sounds and read simple words.

Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all next week.
