P1.2 had a wonderful time at Sports Day today. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and the following activities:

• Tug of war
• Archery
• Beat the goalie
• Obstacle course

We also took part in running races! You can find these videos on our google classroom.

This week we focussed on word numbers from 0-20 and beyond. In literacy, we focussed on magic e and have had lots of opportunities to consolidate this learning.

We are also trialling maths journals where the learners can express their numeracy learning. The journal pages are blank and allow the learners freedom to personalise and present their learning how they wish. This was a big hit and we are going to continue to use them!

Next week we are planning a citrus taste test which we are all excited about.

This week we went to the kitchen to make bread. As we have been learning all about farming and different things you might find on a farm, we decided to learn about how wheat is grown and what you can make from it. We made the dough independently.

Through this activity we explored:

• STEM – How yeast can make bread rise
• NUMERACY – Weighing, measuring, portioning, mathematical language
• HEALTH AND WELL BEING – Working with others towards a common goal, sharing, listening and collaborating
• FOOD TECHNOLOGY – Building a foundation and beginning to learn basic food technology skills such as kneading, mixing, measuring, baking. We learned about hygiene in the kitchen and how to keep ourselves safe. Explore and discovering where foods come from.
• LITERACY – Following instructions.

Tomorrow we are going to read the story ‘The Little Red Hen’ where a hen bakes some bread. We are going to use what learned  in the kitchen to write some instructions on how to bake bread.
