Fruit Salad Fun and More!

We have had a busy, fun filled week in P1C!

This week we loved making our own fruit salads as part of our Health and Wellbeing topic, Food and Health. We spoke about the importance of washing hands before preparing food and how to keep our chopping board and knife clean. We also discussed how to keep  ourselves safe when using a knife. We did an excellent job of cutting our fruit although the apple was quite tricky!

One word- “YUMMY!!”

“I enjoyed making them.”

“It was fun cutting all the juicy stuff!”

“We had to cut the fruit very carefully.”

“I loved eating mine!”

We also enjoyed discussing Easter and why we celebrate Easter. We decided to make our own Easter cards and loved decorating them.

“We made a little bunny out of our hand for the front and I added lots of decoration.”

“I wrote my card to my family.”

We have also been working hard on tally marks and looked at using base five tally marks when gathering information. We used the lollipop sticks to help us display our tally marks.

“Number 5 has to close the gate!”

“It was lots of fun.”

Have a wonderful Easter holiday and very well deserved rest!

STEM, Neurodiveristy and More!

We have had a busy, fun filled week in P1C!

As it has been STEM Week, we discussed our Woodland and what creatures we may find living there. We thought the Woodland is the best place for minibeasts to stay so we decided to create little habitats for them. We carefully selected the items we used to ensure the minibeasts would want to live in our special habitats.

“We made houses for minibeasts.”

“I made a house for a ladybird!”

“We had to pick up things that would be good for minibeasts like grass and sticks.”

 

For STEM week, we also enjoyed the six brick Lego challenge. We only had six Lego bricks and we had to complete different challenges like creating a tower with all the Lego bricks, this was a lot tricker than we thought it would be! We also had to complete challenges like copy the building and create different items, it was so much fun and we all worked so well together.

“It was really hard and I enjoyed it!”

“We only had 6 bits of Lego and had tricky challenges.”

“My favourite challenge was trying to copy my partners building.”

“My favourite was challenge was trying to make an animal.”

We have also celebrated Neurodiversity this week, we explored what Neurodiveristy means and looked at how we are all different and what makes us special.

“We drew what we are good at because we are good at different things.”

“Neurodiversity means everyone has different brains which is so cool.”

We were also super lucky this week as Mr. Monkey wrote us a letter! In his letter Mr.Monkey explained he had been trying to learn his common words like us but sadly he had got a few wrong! We discussed what we could do to help him and decided to write him a letter back telling him to continue to use his growth mindset and keep working hard. We hope he writes to us again real soon!

“Mr Monkey wrote us a letter so we wanted to write him a letter back, I told him about school and gave him some words to try.”

“Mr Monkey was so excited to get our letters!”

World Book Day!

We have had a great week celebrating all things World Book Day! Our author of the week was Nick Sharratt and we loved exploring his different texts and drawings. We created our own front covers for different books, trying to use a similar style to Nick Sharratt.

“His books are good and cool!”

“I loved all his books because they’re good books.”

“I really liked his books.”

“I loved my new cover I made for Shark in the Dark.”

We also had a very special special Tiger come read to us on Thursday, which was very exciting! The Tiger read the story “The Tiger who came to tea” which we all really enjoyed.

We ended World Book Day by reading with our buddies, we brought along our teddies and different books and our buddies brought some cosy blankets. As you can see from the pictures we had a great time and this was a great way to finish our week and our World Book Day celebrations!

“It was so exciting!”

“It was fun!”

“I loved reading with my buddy!”

“Some books were cool and my buddy is good at reading!”
