Hello

This week in P1 we have been discussing ways that we can keep ourselves safe around fireworks. We we were able to come up with some sensible ideas and put these on to a poster. We we then made some colourful and bright firework using paint and forks.

In writing we have been learning to write a character description. We drew scary monsters and thought of some awesome adjectives such fierce, enormous and gigantic.

For Outdoor Learning we used leaves to make different animals. We scooped up leaves of different sizes, shapes and colours to make owls, squirrels and monkeys.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

This week in P1, we have been learning to add by using a number line. We created our own steps to be successful including circling our start number and using the second number to count our frog jumps.

We have been learning about toys from the past including a Jack in the Box. We then used our colouring, cutting, folding and sticking skills to make our own Jack in the Box.

We used our thinking and co-operation skills in loose parts to make our own spooky creatures for Halloween.

For Outdoor Learning we worked with our Buddies to make a witch’s potion. We went on a scavenger hunt for the ingredients, counted them out and even found our own mystery ingredient. We used our imagination to decided what magic our potion could do.

In writing, we created a spooky story about a haunted house. We used describing words to make a scary setting.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Hello

This week in P1 we have been reading the book ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson. This has inspired us to write about who we would take on our broom and where would we go?

We also had fun finding and generating the rhyming words in the story as well as using mixed media to make our own witches.

In numeracy we have began adding by using objects. We have also been looking at measurement vocabulary such as long, short, thick, thin, light and heavy.

In P.E. we have been trying to improve our fitness by taking part in a circuits class. We had fun counting how many jumping jacks and push ups we could do.

We hope you have a great weekend!

This week in P1 we have been learning the r, m and d sound. We have been thinking of words that begin with the sound and blending these words with the sounds we know. We made some cool donuts, messy monsters and robots.

We have also been busy rhyming words in the ‘at’ family. We could rhyme and write/draw cat, bat, rat and mat.

In numbers we have been counting to 20 forward and back and counting in 2’s. We have also been learning about probability.

This week in P1 we have been learning the c, k, e and h sound. We were learning to form the sounds, find them in a word and blend out words that began with the sounds.  We made some hens, caterpillars and Elmers.

In numeracy we were finding a missing number on a number line.

In Outdoor Learning we made some animal habitats with our P7 Buddies. We worked cooperatively and used our creative skills to make a cosy den for the creatures we share our playground with.

We have been learning all about seasons and discussing the weather that we experience in those seasons. We linked this to the Earth orbiting around the Sun and how this affects the sunlight we receive at different times of the year.

We have been busy learning some Harvest songs and creating Harvest art that we can’t wait to share with you next week at our Harvest Assembly!

We hope you have a great weekend!

This week in P1 we have been learning the new sounds i, p and n. We made some igloos, pigs and nets. We have even began blending some words with the sounds we have learned.

For our topic we made some cool 2d shape rocket collages. Then we went outside to build our own rockets using loose parts. We used our imagination, team work and had some great ideas!

We have also been learning about different seasons and the weather. We then created our own piece of writing and detailed drawing of our favourite season.

We read The Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzberg and discussed why its good to mistakes as we can learn and grow from them. We then looked at mistakes and made something beautiful from them.

We hope you have a great weekend!

This week in P1 we have been learning to identify  the numbers in between to 10 and 20.  In shape, we looked at 2D shapes in our class environment.

Our book of the week was The Gruffalo. We had lots of fun finding the rhyming words, drawing the Gruffalo and describing him and then retelling the story. We also enjoyed reading The Gruffalo’s Child.

In Outdoor Learning we were exploring and identifying different leaves. We then made our own leaf men with our Buddies.

We also read Giraffes Can’t Dance and talked about having a Growth Mindset and the power of YET. We then drew something we can do and something we can’t do YET. This year we are going to keep trying and practising different skills.

This week in P1 we have been ordering numbers from 0 to 10 and 20. We have had fun playing games and singing songs to help us. We have also been identifying and naming 2D shapes, we looked at these shapes in our classroom environment and had a shape hunt.

We then read ‘What the Ladybird Heard Next’ and made our own ladybird art. We done this by using potatoes and paint to print the ladybird shapes.

We had so much fun with our Buddies carrying out an Outdoor Learning senses hunt. We searched for things that were light, rough, smooth, loud and colourful.

Hello!

We hope you are all well!

We have had a super fun first week in P1. We had our very first Together Time and loved joining in with the songs.

We have enjoyed exploring our new classroom and had fun playing with our new classmates.

We read the Colour Monster, discussed what emotions were and what emotions we were feeling starting P1. We then created our own colour monster and shared what we can do if we feel sad or scared. Some of us said we should take deep breaths or ask for a hug.

We also read What the Ladybird Heard and made some fantastic maps for Lanky Len and Hefty Hugh to steal the Prize Cow. Our maps were very detailed and clear.

We have loved joining in with number songs and have been counting to 20.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and we can’t wait for week 2!
