In honour of International Women’s Day AND Book Day this week we have been learning about one of our favourite Authors, Julia Donaldson!

We read lots of stories by the author including The Gruffalo and The Smartest Giant in Town.

We re-told the story of The Gruffalo using the stick puppets we coloured and cut out ourselves.

In our Forest School session this week we went on a Gruffalo Hunt! We had to work in groups to read these clues and find the characters from the story!

When we came back to the classroom we found The Gruffalo had left some..erm…tasty treats for us to try!

Best face ever! 

We used adjectives to describe what each of the animals tasted or felt like and wrote sentences about them.

We made a Giant Gruffalo using recycled materials and wrote labels for the different parts of his body, just like the descriptions in the story!

Miss Bull read us the story of The Smartest Giant in Town. We had to listen out for words that had our sound of the week (‘sh’) in ,and see if we could match our sound stick to the rest of the word on the board.

Innayah was the bravest Giant in Town and let us dress her up in a smart shirt, a stripy tie, shiny shoes, smart trousers and yellow socks, the same as the Giant!

On International Book Day we came in dressed as our favourite characters. Some parents came to read to us and we re told our favourite stories to the class!

We showed and talked to the parents about all the work we had been doing this week!

On International women’s day we talked all about the favourite women in our lives and what  makes them so special. We had a Teddy Bear’s picnic in class and made some presents for our special women!

What a busy week! Thank you my little P1B book worms for making it so fun – I am so proud of all of all of your achievements this week, have a lovely weekend!

For our Topic we have been learning all about animals that live in Scotland. We have been learning all about the animals and their habitats and making digital stories about them, adding in our own illustrations and voice recordings. 




We went on a trip to Kelvingrove Museum to see if we could spot any of the animals! Have a look at what we found - can you name any of them?






We LOVED taking the Subway, eating our lunch outside in the sun AND going to the park!






For Chinese New Year we read a traditional Chinese story called The Magic Paintbrush. We used our own magic paintbrushes and our imaginations to create magic pictures of our own.
 

We are such fantastic readers in P1B! We have been learning to read and order sentences with lots of tricky words in. This is helping us to help us to read our books at home.

Every wednesday we are we are lucky enough to have some of our families come in to help us with our phonics and other Literacy and Maths activities. We do lots of exciting activities like using dough and outdoor equipment to make objects and words that have the sound we have been learning in. We have been learning lots of new sounds this term: z,w,ng,v,oo,y,x,ch

We we had a visit from the RSPB. We read a story all about a hibernating hedgehog, we went on a Nature hunt and then used describing words to talk about the different objects we had collected from outside.

 

We have been learning to write CVC and CVVC words like Cat, Zip, Hat, Dog, book, look, independently and learning how to use our sound card to help us.

We have been learning to write short sentences using tricky words!

We play lots of games in P1B that help us to read short words and captions and match them to the pictures.

Sentence surprise! Every week we get a sentence surprise in our jars . The sentence is cut up into separate words and we have to read it and put it together to make it make sense.

This term P1B have been using different objects to help us with our addition skills. We have been learning how to add two groups of objects together and representing this in different ways.  We have also been focussing on learning our number bonds to 10. We made a number bond robot and we named him Meatball!

Ahoy there me hearties! We had a visit from nasty Captain Stinky who’d hidden some stolen treasure in our playground. When we found it, we realised it had numbers on it so we had the job of ordering all 20 coins to make sure we had found them all.  Miss Bull sent us on a pirate assault course to collect more treasure, bring it back to our team and add the two groups of treasure together to find the total. Other members of the team had the job of writing the sum down on the board behind.

We’ve also been learning all about money! We have been learning to recognise different coins and add 1ps and 2ps together to buy items from the shop. We’ve also been practicing to write shopping lists.
