Welcome back to our blog!

We have been working hard, getting back into our school routine after the Easter holidays.

In maths, we continue to build on our number knowledge and our ability to use numbers flexibly.

We have been working together to solve problems including addition and subtraction.

We enjoy creating calculations for a partner to solve!

In literacy, we continue to explore a variety of texts on our own and with a partner.

Here we are sorting books into fiction and non-fiction. We even sorted the features of each such as, tells you information, has characters, has a context page and so on.

We are able to organise the letters of the alphabet in order!

We also continue to develop our skills of writing instructions!

We have been putting steps in order and then writing instructions using the pictures as an aid to help us. We are always careful to number each step and begin them with an opener!

In gym, we are now focusing on athletics!

We continue to explore different ways of moving our bodies, developing our throwing and catching skills and working collaboratively in a team.

Our new topic is all about ‘Keeping Safe and Healthy’, we discussed what we already know about being safe and healthy but also came up with questions of new things we would like to learn.

We decided that we wanted to learn about how to be safe in the car and how to be safe when crossing the road. This made us think lots about Road Safety and so we created posters to warn people of the dangers of being unsafe near or on the roads!

We now know how important it is to wear a seatbelt when we are in the car and to stop, look and listen for any vehicles anytime we prepare to cross the road!

Keep up the great work P1B!
