Time

In class we have been exploring days of the week, months of the year and seasons. Today, we were looking at times on an analogue clock, focusing on o’clock.

At half past 11, Mrs Stephenson set us a little challenge. She asked us to tell her when the time on our analogue clock reached 12 o’clock. We made her laugh because we started doing this, watching the clock tick …

… but she quickly moved us along back to our activities 😄

 

 

Numeracy & Maths

 

During our Numeracy & Maths time, we have been measuring and comparing sizes of objects. We went outside and measured the p1 playground using handspans and footsteps. We had lots of fun doing this!

In our jotters, we have been working on numbers to 20 and addition. We are becoming more confident in completing tasks independently 🙂

Numeracy: Learning through play

It is wonderful to see the pupils applying their counting, matching and sorting skills during play. This was led by the children showing their ability to develop their ideas and build on previously learned skills.

It started with one pupil laying the cards on the carpet to create a number line from right to left. The same pupil then added blocks to the cards.

The number line and blocks were left for some time before two more pupils added to it. They spaced out the blocks, made sure the correct number were there and then counted out gems for each number. Sorting, matching and counting through play.
