On Thursday we worked in pairs to measure ourselves! One pupil lay on the ground while the other joined the unifix cubes together to make a long line beside their partner. We made sure it lined up with the top of our heads and bottom of our feet. It was good fun counting up to 60 and nearly 70 too!
Today we wrote stories about Queen Elizabeth II, the things she liked, why she was important and what she will be remembered for: Tea with Paddington, jumping out of helicopters with 007, her love for Scotland and her cute Corgis were most popular.
We used our knowledge of repeating patterns and 2D shapes to create beautiful crowns! Thanks to Mrs McDonagh for helping us staple everything together. Well done Kings and Queens. 👑
We had lots of fun creating 2D Shape Robots, yesterday. We revised the shapes; circle, square, triangle and rectangle and learned 2 new shapes.
We counted their sides and talked about what we thought they might be called. After some great answers, the class learned they were called Pentagon (5sides) and Hexagon (6sides). We also talked about how sometimes the beginning of a number word can give us a clue about its meaning:
UNIcycle = 1 wheel
BIcycle = 2 wheels
TRIcycle = 3 wheels
We know that PENT- means 5 and HEX- means 6! We’ll need to ask P7 if they know their Greek and Latin number prefixes like us!
The pupils worked so well in pairs, they are beginning to see the benefits of teamwork and importance of compromise! Well done P1.4!
On Friday we investigated repeating patterns! We looked for them around our classroom, then in pairs we created our own using loose parts. Lots of creativity and challenge whilst learning about patterns. Well done P1.4!
