This week we have been learning about time. We have been working hard to arrange the days, months and season in order and identify o’clock on analogue and digital clocks. We enjoyed exploring a range of activities to help us learn about time.

We have also been working hard on our number bonds and we are getting really fast at identifying number bonds for different numbers.

We have been looking at different artists and the techniques they use to create their paintings. We created our own Steven Brown themed under the sea art work, we think they look amazing!

This week, we also learnt about burns day. We enjoyed creating our own class tartan on the computer and creating our own tartan patterns outside using chalks.

In dance, we continued to look at the different ways we can move our body. We loved creating spikey and smooth shapes to help create our conkers themed dance.

Here are some more highlights from our week!

This week we enjoyed reading the Three Little Pigs. We enjoyed making each pigs house and creating our own story maps for the story of the three little pigs.

This term, we are learning to move our bodies through dance. Today we moved our bodies in different ways thinking of wide, thin, high and low shapes that we could practice and move a streamer through the air. There were some very impressive moves on show.

Outdoor we explored symmetry, finding symmetry in nature and creating our own symmetrical pictures using lots of different items. They were very impressive!

This week we have been learning about animals that live under the sea. We made our own sea and we had lots of fun but we didn’t love that it turned our hands blue! We created our own under the sea pictures and took great care making sure we added lots of detail to our pictures.

In PE we have been working on our movement and controlling objects, we have also been enjoying playing different team games.

We have had another busy week in P1C! We have been busy working hard on our programming skills and we enjoyed learning how to use our knowledge of direction to programme the bee-bots. We had to direct our bee-bots to different spots on our carpets and we had great fun creating challenges for our friends to try.

We read the book ‘It’s Your World Now’ by Barry Falls and enjoyed writing and drawing what we would like to be when we grow up. We have lots of future gamers, police officer, doctors and teachers in P1C!

We have also been working hard creating lots of rhyming word banks to help us with our writing.

In Numeracy and Maths, we learnt about symmetry and created our own amazing symmetrical pictures using loose parts. We had to make sure that they were the exact same on each side. We also used paint to create symmetrical butterflies.

We have also been learning about doubles and have been doing lots of different activities to help consolidate our knowledge of doubles.

We have been enjoying learning about woodland animals this week. We learnt about the different animals that live in the woodlands and their habitats. We selected a woodland animal and made them a new home in our construction area, we think they would love their new homes! We also went on a woodland animal hunt outdoors.

This week we also enjoyed creating models using peas and sticks. Our creations were so complex and amazing!

We have also been enjoying our new and improved library area which has led to lots of lovely discussion and story telling.

It has been so lovely to welcome the boys and girls back after the holiday. We have had a great week with our highlights being, exploring in the snow and meeting Mrs Grieve, who has taken over on Thursdays from Miss Faull.
