Shape

This week we have been developing our understanding of 2D and 3D shapes. We have discussed the properties of a cone, cube, cuboid, cylinder and sphere and enjoyed using these in some of our building designs. We have recapped the names of common 2D shapes including a circle, square, rectangle and triangle and have played a variety of games to sort and match them. We found the shape monsters made a funny noise when they ate the right shape.

Enjoy your weekend! See you all next week.

Listening skills, memory and number sense

This week our focus has been on developing our listening skills and visual memory through games. We listened to how many words were in a sentence and tried to jump for each word. We played a memory game where one item was removed and we had to try and remember what it was and we played spot the difference between two visuals.

We have continued to develop our understanding of number using the number blocks to help us.

Have a lovely weekend.

Fun in week 1

We have had a great start to P1 with all of the children settling well and getting used to our classroom routines. It has been great to see them exploring and making new friendships as they play. Here is a wee snapshot of some of the fun we have had this week making birthday cards, building zoos, playing with the babies, listening walks and tapping to the beat with the musical instruments.

I hope everyone has a well deserved rest and I look forward to seeing lots of smiley faces on Monday.
