We are all working really hard and making super progress in all curricular areas!

Literacy

In Literacy we  have been playing lots of games including ‘Spin the bottle’ to practise our blending skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been ‘stretching out words to listen to all the sounds in them to help us to write them correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can write simple sentences using the Rhyme World stories we have shared and enjoyed together. We like the funny characters!

 

 

 

 

 

Our book corner is very popular and lots of us enjoy sharing a fiction or non fiction text together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Numeracy and Maths

We have been estimating ‘how many’ before counting carefully. We use loose parts and Numicon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been practising our adding skills , finding out how many altogether there are in 2 sets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Topic

We wanted to learn ‘why astronauts seem to bounce on the moon.’  This was Zak’s question. We discussed what gravity is and did an experiment.  We picked 2 objects from a selection and guessed which would fall faster/slower.  We tried to test this out fairly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We wanted to make our own Space information books. We started be designing the front cover with a title,  illustration and author.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went into the Woodlands and created ‘aliens’ out of playdough and natural materials.  We described our alien characters to our friends and shared where they lived and what they liked!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other learning

In ICT we  are learning through playing games and our keyboard and navigation skills are improving well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we are exploring and learning in the play areas and outdoors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Developing our problem solving skills and working together!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chloe and Toby practised writing  letters on the wall.

 

 

 

 

The boys formed a rock band, created lyrics to a song and performed to the class!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phew! We have been busy!

Finally here we are enjoying learning some fantastic dance moves for our ‘Day of Dance’. We were amazing at copying the moves , had lots of fun and raised money for charity!

 

 

 

 

 

Well done P1a you are making  super progress!
