Numeracy and Maths

We enjoy exploring shapes and shape patterns, and can describe shapes to our friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We continue to develop our knowledge of number,  investigating numbers up to 100, looking at patterns, numbers before and after, place value and how 2 digit numbers are made up of tens and units. We have also been practising our number bonds and solving addition and subtraction problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also can recognise coins and lay out different amounts for price tags in our toy shop!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Literacy

We enjoy reading new texts independently! This includes fiction and non-fiction. We choose different texts to read and tell our partners about what we have read. Our knowledge of alternative sounds and common words help us with unfamiliar texts. We sometimes use the texts to do close reading work, finding information, and ordering the main ideas. We can create storyboards from the main ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also play games together. We read sentences not just single words as part of our games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Health and Wellbeing

We discussed how to keep healthy and came up with lots of good ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then made class posters describing how we each experience these healthy ways to live and shared them with the class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We wrote and illustrated how we exercise in different ways to keep healthy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Religious and Moral Education

As the festival of Eid approaches we were lucky to have some P.6 girls come into our class and tell us about Ramadan and Eid.  We could ask questions too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outdoor Learning

We have been  exploring our school woodland area, looking for signs of a new season and discussing changes in the environment.

We also like to sit together and using props from outdoors create a class story, each person in the circle adding the next part of the story. We like to make our class story funny!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also created artistic symmetrical pictures using the materials around us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well done P1a! Fantastic playing and learning!

 

Literacy

Within Literacy, we continue to explore lots of new books.

We are able to read independently and answer questions about what we read!

We continue to explore non-fiction texts! We are becoming more comfortable with using the contents page and index page to locate information.

We continue to build on our knowledge of sounds by exploring alternative sounds!

We are able to create sentences using our common words and flashcards.

Numeracy and Maths

We have been learning all about how numbers are formed by exploring tens and ones!

We have been revising our knowledge of 2D shape and used these to create exciting pictures.

We have been exploring numbers greater than and less than.

We have been revising time, looking closely at the days of the week and months of the year. We are able to sequence these and tell the time to o’clock, we are challenging ourselves by telling the time to half past!

We have also been using our problem solving skills at the STEM table. We had to build a bridge that was able to hold a heavy rock.

Other Areas

For our topic, ‘Keeping Safe and Healthy’, we decided to look at how we can have a healthy diet.

We created our own ‘Eatwell Plate’, showing what we know about the different food groups.

We were able to sort a variety of food into healthy and unhealthy.

In French, we have been exploring colours!

Skills to School week!

We were so lucky to have lots of parent visitors who came to tell us all about how they use numeracy and maths in their jobs.

It was lots of fun to learn about what they do!

Thank you to everyone who visited us!

Numeracy and Mathematics

Last week we had the pleasure of having visits from parents who shared their knowledge with us on how they use all the different curricular areas within their job! It was fascinating to listen to their jobs. We have also been exploring symmetry and began learning about tens and ones!

We went on a Maths Treasure hunt around the entire school which was great fun! We managed to solve all the questions and even the bonus question too.

Literacy

We have been using non-fiction books to learn about facts and information. We are super confident in using the contents and index page to locate information.

We continue to read unseen challenging texts to practice blending and reading tricky words.

To help with our sequencing of Instructional Writing we were sequencing different events.

We are also learning alternative sounds!

Rainforest

We are so excited to share with you our learning about the Rainforest in our Assembly show next week! We won’t give too much away but we will show our amazing tents we were building for our ‘imaginary’ animals!

We were learning about different animal groups and went to the Woodland area to explore if we could find any mammals, amphibians, birds or insects.

We can’t wait to see you all next week at our class show Assembly!
