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!
