Mondays are usually exploring days in P1.3. We have new activities in class and we get to explore them. Today we are making the babies for “Mrs Lather’s Laundry”; building with the Kapla; building at the workbench; playing with games and playing in Mrs Lather’s Laundry. We also do our reading on a Monday morning too. No wonder we are exhausted at the end of the day!
Every week we ask the children which activities they would like in class. We do our best to put in place their requests. This week the request is for a flower shop, so we shall make our flowers at art to sell this week. It all takes time!
We have some new activities in the class this week. They have provoked a great deal of discussion and role play, not to mention the huge amount of joy and learning they bring.
We are constantly learning through play. There is so much to learn from in 1.3 and we love to discuss what we are doing. Our teachers ask us what activities we would like in class and they do their best to make it fun!
We try to keep our children engaged and active in their class work and play. This week, we have changed a few things. The children were highly delighted and love to try new things.
We learn in lots of different ways and what works for some, doesn’t work for others and this is encouraged. We make, draw, write, act out and watch.
We have started our Jolly Phonics Programme and have heard the stories and sung the songs about “s” and “a”. We have searched for them and written them in rice and on paper.
