We have had a wonderful week in P1B and all of the children have very much adjusted to the routine of the school day. We are beginning to discuss what we would like in the areas of our classroom and also what we would like to learn about…watch this space!

On Monday we managed to avoid the rain and enjoyed PE in the MUGA. We are learning about Fitness and different ways we can move our body to help keep us fit.

We enjoyed exploring different ways we could move the hula hoop with our bodies.

We then practised throwing balls into the hoops. We started off with the hoops quite close to us but then made it trickier by moving them further away.

We finished off the lesson by thinking about balancing. We moved around the MUGA and had to stay on the white line.

On Thursday in the hall, we are practising our object control. The objects we used were bean bags. We had to find different parts of our bodies that the bean bags would stay on and then challenged ourselves to moving around the hall with the bean bag balanced.

On Friday in class, we played a game were we balanced the bean bags on our hands and passed it from to the person next to us. When the music stopped, if we had the bean bag we had to run round the circle. It turned into a lovely team building exercise as we all cheered the person on who was running.

In writing we are focusing on adding detail to our drawings. This week we are thinking about our hands. We completed our drawings based on a sentence and had to think about where our hands are and what they are doing in the picture.

On Friday when we were tidying up we all loved the song that much we started dancing once our classroom was tidy. Look at all those happy faces!
