Today we met together in the hall with the other P1 classes and practised singing our nativity songs. It was lovely to hear such beautiful voices and see some interesting dance moves 🙂

This week we have been developing our understanding of addition using our fingers to help us add numbers together accurately. We have tried to record our own calculations with a plus symbol and equals sign. We have played games to help us recognise numbers without counting (subitising) and have used lots of different language to talk about numbers.

We have been bringing our own stories to life through drama. There has been lots of hilarity as the children take on the roles of different characters and think about how they can use their body and voice to act it out to the class.

The boys and girls had a great time at their first ever disco with dance games, a conga, face paints and glow sticks. Lots of smiley faces all round!

We were very lucky to be invited up to Mearns library to receive a bag of books to enjoy at home. The class did very well walking safely up to the library and enjoyed listening to some stories together. Here are a couple of pics from the trip.

This week we have been looking at halves carefully exploring shapes that have been split into two equal parts. Â We were able to identify shapes that did and did not show halves, sort them accordingly and use our knowledge of equal parts in our play with the play dough.
