We had a great time at our Nativity performance on Monday! We hope you enjoyed it is as much as we did!!

   

This week, we loved creating our Christmas baubles. We were very excited to get them home and hang them on our Christmas tress.

 

We had some pupils from P7C in our class to deliver a Winter lesson. We had so much fun listening to the story ‘Winnie in Winter’ and completing the quiz based on the story. They then showed us how to make our own snowman which we loved making.

The highlight of our week was  definitely our party! We had so much fun dancing and playing games but the best part was when our special visitor, Santa, stopped by all the way from the North Pole to deliver some presents!!

We have had such a wonderful term filled with lots of learning, laughter and fun. We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Have a wonderful Holiday and see you next year 🙂

This week we have continued to work hard on our Nativity. We had a great dress rehearsal today and we loved having P4A and P6C as our audience.  We can’t wait for you all to see it on Monday!

“We need to be confident and sing loud!”

“We having been working hard learning our lines.”

This week in Maths and Numeracy we explored Symmetry. We know that when something is symmetrical it is the same on both sides. We had so much fun creating our own symmetrical Christmas tress and pictures.

“Things are the same at both sides and do you know we have been working hard at this.”

“Symmetry means its the same on both sides. If you don’t have it on both sides then its not symmetrical.”

“It looks the same at both sides so it is symmetrical.”

We loved using Indi car again this week!  We were set a challenge were we had to use all the tiles to create a track it was so much fun and Miss Regan was very impressed with our creations.

“We had to make tracks using all the tiles! We had to remember what each tile does.”

 

We have had another busy week in P1! We are continuing to work hard on our Nativity and we can’t wait for you all to see it.

We had so much fun exploring the Indi Cars this week. Each tile is a different colour and represents an instruction, we had great fun working out what the Indi car would do when it went on a particular tile. We then created our own tracks for Indi which was great fun! Hopefully the videos below work and you can seem some of our super tracks! We can’t wait to explore the Indi cars more next week.

“The mats do different things to Indi.”

“We made Indi a track and we had to use the colours.”

“The purple ones makes Indi spin, red makes him stop, green is go and some colours make Indi turn different ways.”

“We have to de-bug the track if doesn’t work.”

“It is so fun!”

This week, we have also been working hard on our common words and sounds. We have been making our common words using different items and sorting and matching sounds. We have also used our knowledge of common words and sounds to help us with our writing, where this week we enjoyed writing about our role in the Nativity.

“We matched the letter to the same one.”

“We wrote about what we are in the Nativity and we we do. I wrote that I need to sing.”

In Numeracy and Maths this week we explored Fractions. We had to sort items into half and whole and cut the playdough into half. We know that when something is split in half we have two equal parts.

“Half means you have two bits the same.”

Outdoors with Miss Hutchinson this week we LOVED splashing in the puddles! We decided to measure the size of different puddles using different items like sticks, string and rulers. We discovered that some puddles were a lot deeper and wider than others and that these were the best puddles for splashing in! We also thought it would be fun to create a stick race in some of the puddles.

“We measured how deep the puddles were and drew circles around them to see how big they are. We also jumped in puddles to see how splashy they are!”

“We played a game called  stick race and raced the sticks, it was fun but some sticks didn’t race well.”

 

 

 

We have had another busy week in P1C! We are really enjoying our Space topic and this week we wanted to learn about the planets. We looked at each planet and learnt some different facts about them. We were very surprised that the sun is not actually a planet and is a star. We decided to create our own planet pictures, we think they look fab!

“People only live on one planet and that is Earth.”

“We live on Earth.”

“Saturn is my favourite planet.”

“The sun isn’t a planet it is a star.”

We have been learning to add, we have been using concrete materials to help us solve different calculations.

“Numbers get bigger when we add.”

“When you add you make different numbers.”

We love reading our reading books and this week we were sequencing the events of a story. We had to put the pictures in the order they appear in the story.

We have been loving our new modelling area. We have been busy all week making super creations.

“I made a robot!”

“I love making things.”
