Thank you to all of the parents and carers who attended our Open Afternoons. We hope you enjoyed exploring the classroom with the children. They were extremely excited to share their learning with you and show you the areas that they particularly enjoy!

   

As part of our learning about the countries of the world, the children were interested to learn about flags. We explored various flags and their features and discussed why countries had flags. Using flag designs to prompt us, we created our own flags and proudly displayed them in our classroom.

   

   

P1 went on a magic carpet ride on Thursday afternoon. They landed in different lands and had to move their body to show they type of land they were in. There was wiggling like jelly, visiting of Candy Land and squelching through a marsh land. They also flew to space on their magic carpet!

    

During writing we thought about a magic carpet ride we would like to go on and wrote about. We had to think of a land we would like to visit and describe it using adjectives.

    

This week some of us have been developing our sequencing skills. After reading our book, we created a story map to show our understanding of the story. We discussed the beginning, middle and end of the story and drew a picture to explain each part.

   

    

This week we took a break from the apparatus and focused on our balancing skills in Gymnastics. We practised some of the balances we had previously learned and then built on this to create some very challenging balances. We had to communicate and cooperate with our partner to ensure our balances were a success!

   

   

   

    

We spent a lovely afternoon in the sun on Friday exploring the woodland area. We built dens, swung on trees and tyres and spent a lot of time digging for fossils! There aren’t many photos as Mrs Agnew and Miss Regan enjoyed making daisy chains and making beautiful hair pieces from the flowers found on the ground 🙂
