Hello everyone,

We have reached our first school holiday! Although it has been a short week, we have still been super busy learning!

This week we have began learning our sounds. We have learnt the sound ‘s’ and ‘a’. When we learn a new sound, we identify words that begin with the same sound (alliteration), we practise sorting objects and practise forming the letters correctly.

We made snakes whilst we learnt about the ‘s’ sound!

We are using our hearing skills to splat the correct sound!

This week we have been exploring Money! We know money is exchanged to buy and purchase items. We are sorting the different coins to ensure we can recognise the value of different coins.

In our Roleplay we were buying items! Some items were expensive and some were cheap! Items were 1p and 2p but some were 10p!

We were using coins to make a character! However, we had to tell Miss Amin or our friends what coins we had used.

We continue to practise our subitising skills! Miss Amin will shout out a number and with our fingers we have to show the correct amount as fast as we can.

Although we were only to sequence the numbers to 10, we managed to do it to 20 without any help! We worked together as a team to do this!

We love using Digital Technology to enhance our learning! We used Bee-Bots to explore directions and movements.

We have made a house using elastic bands. The house is made using shapes such as squares and triangles.

For our Topic for Safari Animals, we went on an Animal Hunt! Some animals were high, low and just impossible to find. However, we managed to find them all and persevered!

 

We discussed how animals use ‘Forces’ whilst they prey on animals or fight because they push and pull! Using Bee-Bots again, we were exploring the movement of push and pull.

We also played with cars and a ramp to explore Forces! Using our measuring skills, we used a pen to measure how far the car had travelled after it had been pushed!

Whilst Outdoors, we used our knowledge of shapes to make an Obstacle Course!

We were also exploring how to travel water from different resources without it spilling!

You would never have thought this was a short week as we have been so busy learning and playing! I hope you all have a wonderful rest Primary 1B, you deserve it for working so hard!

Stay safe and I will see you all next Tuesday,

Love Miss Amin xx
