This week in Numeracy and Maths, we explored Money. We looked at what money is used for, the value of each coin and ordered the coins from smallest to largest.

“We put them in order.”

“We had to find the right coin and put it in order.”

“We use coins to pay for things but my Mummy uses her phone to buy things.”

We are continuing to discuss what keeps us healthy and this week  we discussed the importance of sleep.  We know that sleep helps our brain store information and helps us to concentrate. We discussed our bedtime routine and wrote instructions for our own bedtime routine.

“I drew my bedtime routine, you have to start with what you do first.”

We really enjoyed learning all about Burns Day! We looked at why and how  we celebrate burns and read some of his poems. We had great fun trying to work out the meaning of different scots words. We then created our own ‘Wee Rid Motor’ to go with the poem ‘The Wee Rid Motor’ by Sandy Thomas Ross.

We have had another fun week in P1C! We have been continuing to work on time this week. We ordered the months of the year and days of the week. We also matched the digital time to the correct analogue clock.

“I can put the months in order.”

“We put days of the week  in order.”

“I can match digital time to the clock.”

We have continued with our colour mixing and we created beautiful seascapes by mixing blue and yellow. We then created our own fish and stuck them on.

“We mixed colours to make our background and then made our own fish.”

“We stuck the fish on the painting that we made.”

Our story of the week has been ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’, we all love this story and this prompted a discussion during circle time were we discussed what we can do well and what we want to improve. We then created our own beautiful I can pictures that we can’t wait to show you.

“We made a nice moon like the book Giraffes Can’t Dance and drew our own Gerald”

We have been working hard on our prediction skills and made predictions about our reading books. We then read our books to see if our prediction was similar to the story.

“We predicted what might happen in the book, my prediction was almost right!”

We have had a great first week back in P1C!

In Art, we are exploring colour we looked at the colour wheel and how we can mix colours together to make different colours. We mixed yellow and blue together to make green and created our own pictures.

“You dip the brush in and mix well to make the colour.”

“We mixed yellow with blue and got green.”

In Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about how we keep healthy. We discussed why it is important to keep healthy and what we do to keep healthy.

“We eat fruit and vegetables to keep healthy.”

“I keep healthy by dancing and running.”

In Numeracy and Maths, we have been learning about time. We discussed the seasons and the features of each season. We also looked at the features of a clock and we loved using the clocks to show different o’clock times.

“I know o’clock.”

“I like summer best!”

We enjoyed writing about our holidays this week and we have been working hard to use our knowledge of rhyme and sounds to create different rhyming lists.
