HAPPY NEW YEAR! And welcome back!
We have kick started the new year with some exciting new topics, lots of reading, writing and Numeracy!
This term P1 will be learning all about Traditional Tales from around the world! We will be learning how to create and describe characters and settings and explore alternative story endings.
This week we have been learning the stories of Cinderella and the Indian story of Cinduri. We have been comparing the stories and we have used the stories to explore the school wide topic of slavery. To do this we have been teaching the children about the UN rights of the child and discussing whether or not they think Cinderella and Cinduri were treated fairly. You will be able to see the children’s work on this topic displayed in the open area in the coming weeks.
We have also been learning how to make a sandwich and write instructions, writing invitations to the Royal ball, building castles, and making wands!
In Numeracy we have been learning how recognise and make numbers 11-20 using outdoor toys.
we have also been learning to recognise Odd and Even numbers by seeing if the number can be shared equally and feeding our numbers to our new friends – Todd (odd) and Steven (even)!
We have also been learning about symmetry and creating symmetrical faces of our own!
Here are some photos of our learning:
Can that number of cubes be shared equally? Is it odd or even?
