Welcome back to our blog! It has been another busy week in P1c!
In Literacy, we continue to develop our phonological awareness as we continue to learn single sounds.
We have been exploring our magnetic letter boards this week, using what we know about sounds to word build CVC words such as cat, man and hop.
When reading these short words, we know to sound them out.
We continue to practise letter formation!
For writing this week, we focused on Halloween. Our writing was all about what we do on Halloween and although this year will be a little different, it seems that the children still have lots to look forward too!
Within Numeracy and Maths, we continue to explore numbers to 10 and beyond.
We have started to explore addition to 10 using loose parts. We worked with a partner to explore addition, giving each other calculations to solve! We had to record the sum and the answer on our addition mat!
We have been exploring time by looking at analogue clocks. We know that an analogue clock is a circle shape and it has numbers 1 to 12 on it. We also know that it has a big hand and a little hand. We made our own analogue clocks and chose which time we wanted it to show.
Sticking to the excitement surrounding Halloween, we have been creating our own potions! We used our amazing imaginations to discuss what we would put in a real potion, we thought about spiders, eyeballs, blood and frogs!
Through drama, we have been acting out the movements of various spooky characters such as zombies, ghosts and witches.
We have even been doing some skeleton dancing!
We made some more Halloween decorations for our classroom.
Using paper plates and tissue paper to make scary pumpkins!
Painting our hand prints to make ghosts!
Even making some Halloween cards for our friends and family.
The children have been so excited about Halloween and love sharing with the class what they are going to dress up as!
At our art area this week we have been exploring Pointillism. We used cotton buds to make little dots which form a picture.
We continue to work collaboratively across our classroom, especially in our construction area! We love to build mansions, castles and jails among many other things.
Have a Happy Halloween from P1C 🙂
Just a reminder that next Friday (6th Nov) is our Spooky Mini Mudder event!
Could you please remember to make sure that the children have appropriate clothing as it will be very muddy and messy.
Copies of the sponsorship form are available on our Google Classroom 🙂
