Outdoors we had great fun making our own bubbles. We experimented with the mixture to try and create a mixture that created the best bubbles. We found the best recipe that created the shiniest and biggest bubbles!  We used different items from outdoors to create different shapes of bubbles and we enjoyed seeing how the different bubbles floated in the sky.

“We made shapes of bubbles and I made a big one!”

“When we blew the bubbles in the straw it made big bubbles and they popped on our t-shirts.”

“We were making bubbles and blowing them around.”

“We made our own bubbles and blew out different shapes.”

“We put soap and water then mixed them together to make the  bubbles.”

In Art, we have been learning about line, we used our knowledge of line to help us create a picture.

“You have bumpy lines, straight lines and hill lines.”

“We were being creative with our lines.”

We are continuing to develop our understanding of growth mindset . We listened to Incy Wincy and we discussed how Incy uses their growth mindset to keep trying even when it is tricky. We created our own spiders and thought of challenges we face and discussed how we can use our growth mindset to help overcome any challenges.

“He used his growth mindset to climb up the spout.”

“I am going to try and use my growth mindset to help me do a handstand, cartwheel and the monkey bars.”

“I use my growth mindset to help me do good kicks in football.”

In Literacy and English this week, we were introduced to the sounds S, A and T. We enjoyed hearing each sounds story, learning the songs and generating words that begin with that sound. We also explored lots of different activities around the room relating to our new sounds like cutting stars and using the toothbrushes to clean the ‘t’s away.

“We learnt s and a’

“We cut stars because we were learning ‘s’!”

“We like our new sounds.”

Out in the MUGA this week for PE we created a large obstacle course and huge to use our balancing skills to ensure we didn’t fall off. This week, we started Gymnastics and we enjoyed learning different shapes and creating different partner balances. Miss Regan was very impressed with our great balancing!

“We balanced on each other, it was really fun!”

“We learnt about shapes, we made them with our body.”

“We made an obstacle course, it was fun”.

Outdoors we explored weight and enjoyed estimating how heavy different items would be.

“We were looking at the weight of the bricks”

Our story of the week has been Superworm which we have all thoroughly enjoyed! We discussed what kind of habitat Superworm would live in and designed our own habitat for Superworm. We then went on a minibeast hunt to see if we could find more characters from the book.

“We were trying to find superworm and his habitat”

“We tried to find all minibeasts.”

“I saw a ladybird, a fly, we found everything on the list!”

We have had another busy week in  P1C!

This week in PE, we have been working hard on our throwing and catching skills. We really enjoyed using balloons and cones to help us develop these skills.

“We were practicing catching with the balloons and cones”

“We played lots of games, we played beat the teacher and you had to run faster than Miss Hutchison. It is so fun!”

“When someone throws the balloon you have to try catch it in the cone and then do it for the other person”

Outdoors we collected different items like sticks and leaves and used these to create wonderful paintings.

“We used sticks as paint brushes and leaves as wipers to make a pattern. We smushed up berries to make purple paint”

“I made fireworks on the edges of mine”

We have been learning about pattern in Numeracy and Maths. We have enjoyed continuing Miss Regan’s patterns and making our  own.

“Doing patterns, you can make them fancy and cool!”
