Our Week in Class 1! :)

Another week has passed and Class 1 would like to share with you their learning!!!

This week in Maths we have been learning all about numbers and patterns. We looked at repeating a pattern in a variety of ways: colour, shapes, numbers. Being able to copy a pattern is important as it allows the children to think about what is the same and what is different.

                    

Sorley practiced skipping counting by 2s and 5s using natural materials and playing lots of games.

Murray and Zainab worked hard with adding numbers up to 20.

Azaan, Joshua, Abdul, Seher, Mariam, Muhsin, and Diego have continued to work on our number recognition and they even started to practice before and after numbers to ten.

This week in Class 1 we started to learn our sounds. Diego, Seher, and Mariam have been learning the “s” sound. We played a matching game and we had to put the objects that start with that sound in the correct places.  Murray and Zainab practiced the “ai” sound. You can challenge them at home by asking about things that start with or contain these sounds.

                    

Joshua, Muhsin, and Abdul had a lot of fun building up their names using playdough and letter moulds.                                                          

Sorley enjoyed his outdoor learning, combining reading with football!!! Well done Sorley, with this great kicking technique you managed to read all the CVC -word cones!!

  1. In H/WB, Class 1 explored again Emotions and Feelings through the book ” The Colour Monster”. We decorated our own gingerbread man using icing sugar based on the colour of our feeling and we created the Tree of emotions . In PE we practised our balancing skills and coordination creating an obstacle course!!

Class 1, has started with our Sustainability Topic which is about plants and gardening. We explored our garden and we collected blackberries in our buckets in order to make a delicious jam for our breakfast next week.

An Amazing Week!!

What another lovely week we’ve had in Class 1.

We’ve been continuing to focus on our emotions this week and we’ve been looking at our SHANARRI wellbeing indicators (safe, healthy, active, achieving, nurtured, respected, responsible and included).

On H/WB we focused on personal hygiene and the kids had a go at the pepper and dish soap experiment! We were totally surprised as we watched the pepper scatter to the sides!! Have a look

We also continued with our topic about healthy lifestyles.  We baked healthy oat biscuits and we made yummy popcorns (We don’t need the unhealthy crisps when we can pop popcorns!! 😉 )They were both DELICIOUS!

  

 

     

           

In PE we practiced our skipping skills!!

   

     

In Maths we worked hard with patterns and number recognition and in Literacy, we practiced our phonics and writing skills!

Having fun in Class One!

Hello everyone

 

I am Mrs Mc Fadden and I teach in Class 1 on Wednesday afternoons. I love having fun so your beautiful children will always have a fun afternoon. As I believe learning should be loads of fun! We hope to spend most of our time outdoors exploring new things and creating new adventures. Check out our adventures last week. Lots of team building, discovery, challenges, communication skills and laughs. 🤭

             

Weekend News!! Can you help us?

 

Class 1 is working hard to develop their fine and gross motor skills. We write our weekend news every Monday and integrate writing into everyday aspects of our learning. The class is encouraged to recall events and express ideas and thoughts verbally.

You can help at home by providing a photograph (via email or in their bags) to help your child reflect on their weekend news.

Welcome to Class 1!!!!

 

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of our new Class  1 families.  My name is  Miss Symeonidou (Symie)  and I am very excited to be teaching your children this year.

We have had a fun-filled first two weeks getting to know each other, learning the rules and routines of the classroom and exploring some
of the different areas and activities. Now we are looking forward to having lots more fun!!

I  will update the blog every week to let you know about our adventures in Class 1 as well as reminders and other important information.

Warm Regards,

Miss Symeonidou
