P1C has been an extremely busy place this week with lots of learning taking place.
We enjoyed our first visit to the woodland which was very muddy but lots of fun! There was splashing in puddles, swinging on tyres, climbing in trees and pretending to be grizzly bears!
Some of us have been learning to count in 2s. We sorted the cards in the correct order. We have also been discussing more than and less than and had a go at one more than and one less than a number and counting out the correct number of pom poms. We had a go at showing our answers with the number fans this week during our mental maths learning.
We have been learning about capacity and the different vocabulary we can use. We experimented by filling different containers to show full, nearly full, half full, almost empty and empty. We discussed which container had the largest capacity and why we thought that.
One of the sounds we learned this week was ‘d’. We decorated a doughnut and designed a dress.
We had a go at sorting the letters to match the sound.
We have been developing our sequencing skills. We read Room on the Broom together and then showed our understanding of the story by sequencing the characters in the order they appeared.
We made name rockets by writing each letter of our name and then turning it into a rocket by adding triangles. We decorated them with stars, the moon and planets.
We have also been practising our letter formation.
We had an amazing time on Thursday afternoon making baskets for Hamish the cat. Hamish is the cat in our story The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We had to make the basket strong enough to transport Hamish from one end of the pulley system to the other. There were lots of cheers when Hamish made it across safely!
On Monday we worked in groups to act out the characters from The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. Some of us very much got into character and showed how Mr Grinling, Mrs Grinling, Hamish the cat and the seagulls may feel at different parts of the story.
