In Literacy, we have been learning to add similes and figurative language in our writing. We used a Christmas Advert as our stimulus for this. We loved watching it and discussing the themes in the advert such as friendship and kindness. We used Bill’s New Frock by Anne Fine to recap verbs, punctuation and higher order thinking skills.

In Numeracy, we have been showcasing our learning on multiplication and discussing the strategies we have been learning across the term. In Maths, we have been identifying shapes with multiple lines of symmetry, next term we will create our own pictures to show multiple lines of symmetry.

In PE, we focused on teamwork, cooperation and being a good sportsperson through games like dodgeball and bench ball. We used the 5 point scale to discuss how we felt throughout the game.

In Art, we have been enhancing our motor skills and cooperation by learning about origami to create our Christmas Cards.

We had committees this week and really enjoyed taking part in the Christmas Jumper Hunt which was planned by the Enterprise committee.

We used the iPads to show a friend our ePortfolio and reflect on our work. We also chose a piece of work we are very proud of and we can’t wait to share it all with you at home!

We loved watching the P1 Nativity this morning, they did so well!
