Giraffes Can’t Dance…oh yes they can! P1B can also do lots of amazing things and we shared this with each other at the beginning of the week during a Circle Time. We used this as our context for writing and we each wrote a sentence or two about something we are proud of that we can do.

We then created the front cover of the book by gradually mixing blue and white together to create a moon effect and drew our own giraffe to glue onto our beautiful backgrounds. We had to use our cutting skills to cut neatly around our giraffes!

This week we started learning about money. In small groups we explored different coins and looked at their size, shape and colour. We learned the value of each coin and then put these in order starting from the smallest. Lots of us put the coins in order by size but this prompted an interesting discussion and together we were able to put the coins in the correct order by their value.

    

     

We continued our learning about Food and Health by looking at The Eatwell Guide. We learned about the different food groups and why each one is important and how it helps our body to stay healthy. In pairs, we then sorted the foods into the correct food group.
