Tag Archives: Always Learning

Busy As Ever

We are as busy as ever in P1.3.  Never a day goes by without us learning something new.  ( We know that children always say they learned “ nothing” in school!). Miss O’Neil was busy working with children creating a map of the local environment; Mrs Arbuckle was busy helping with making structures in the Tuff Tray; some people were “making” tools with the giant meccano; some people were making pizza for deliveries in our Pizza Hut; some people were looking at Google maps, finding the local area.  We have also been to Assembly and gone over our phonics.   It’s all go!

What shall we do today?

We have new activities this week that the children asked for last week.  Our shop is very popular and we are selling lots of different things.  They are all real.  This is good for learning to use money and for rôle play.   Everything we use is real.   The hammer beads are good for making patterns.  We are learning new words in our Jolly Phonics .  The Kapla is always popular for building and being creative and building.  We have also been reading this morning.

Numeracy is fun!

Some of us have been looking at numbers before and after and looking at the quantity of numbers. Some of us have been learning to use a number line and have started to add on 1.

Every day, we practise our days of the week song and then we have to say which days come before and after. It can be quite tricky.  We also sing our Months of the Year song and put our hands up when it is our birthday month.   As if that isn’t enough, we sing our money song about 1p, 2p, 5 p and 10p.  Oh- and then we look at numbers to 20 on “Splat”.  We are definitely learning through play, but we also work very hard!
