Learning and working together in P1a

In maths we have been enjoying investigating all the different ways we can make 4. We used cubes and wrote out all the number bonds we could create.

We have also been gathering information, using tally marks and creating picture graphs and bar graphs. We used the information to look at the most/least popular choices and compare different amounts.

We are improving our counting skills and worked together to check we had counted items correctly.

We used the 100 square to explore counting in 2s, 5s and 10s identifying different patterns and what number would come next in each sequence.

In literacy we have been continuing to develop our writing skills and have enjoyed sharing our stories and sentences with each other. We have used props, stories and pictures to help plan our writing and have come up with some great imaginative ideas.

We also enjoy playing reading games to develop our knowledge of words and sounds.

In P.E we have been looking at object control and practing skills such as dribbling, throwing and catching. We are good at working together and have developed teamwork skills through games such as stuck in the mud and tidy the room.

We enjoyed using a range of materials to create our own santas and had been keeping a close eye on what our class elf, Elfie has been up to each day.

We also had a teddy bears picnic to look at how to share items by cutting up and counting out. We talked about how to make things fair and had to half and quarter some items to give to each of the bears.
