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.”
