Literacy
Our ability to recognise single sounds and phonemes has improved so much! We continue to develop these in order to help us improve our reading and writing skills.
Here we are working together to create a story using lots of mixed up sentences, we had to work together to read the words to decide if it made sense!
We are working together to test our knowledge of tricky words.
We have been exploring unseen texts. This is helping us to expand our vocabulary and to allow us to use what we know about our sounds to read new words.
We then shared with our friends why we chose this book and even tried reading a little bit of it to them!
We are consolidating our knowledge of phonemes! We love to read, write and draw lots of these words.
Roll and Read games also help us to test our phoneme knowledge!
Numeracy
We are building our number knowledge by using lots of different strategies for addition. We have moved from using materials like cubes and counters to using number lines!
We are also consolidating our knowledge of number bonds.
We have been revising our knowledge of 2D shape, we can identify circles, triangles, squares and rectangles and discuss their features.
We are also able to decide what shape some items are and group them according to their shape!
Other Areas
At the STEM table we have been thinking about measuring the weight of different items. We have investigated this by measuring things like tins, rulers, feathers and rocks to decide if they were heavy or light!
In the role-play we have created our own hairdressers! We have been using our writing skills to help us make appointment lists!
We continue to develop our team work skills when working as a team to build in the construction area!
Outdoor Learning
Outside, we focused on measure, specifically weight and length. We had to measure materials and decide if they were long, or short.
We even measured our own height, ordering ourselves from the smallest person to the tallest person!
When measuring weight, we held lots of different items to decide if they were heavy, or light.
We love being creative outside too! We even set up our own shop to sell some of the ice we found in our outdoor area. Each piece of ice was different in size so we created different prices for each one!
Here, Ross is building a boat!
Myla and Joe are measuring the puddles made by the melted ice!
Well Done P1B! Keep up the great work!
