This week in literacy we were learning how to use commas in a list as well as completing tasks related to our reading books. In maths we moved on to data handling and learned how to display and read data on a bar graph. In our topic work we created a timeline to show the main events of the vikings. We ended our week with some spring art based on the style of the famous artist Romero Britto. Some children have began to paint theirs and they are looking fantastic.

We were able to identify different angles in the environment, as well as making our own ‘body angles’ we took lots of initial of what we found and used the mark up took on our iPads to edit them to show our knowledge of angles, then presented to the class. The next day we identified those of angles that were tales to our desks then used the protractors to measure them.

P1b Weekly Update
This week p1b have been working very hard all week. We finished our NHS topic by learning about the dentist and pharmacy through role play. All the children were able to show what to do in an emergency through our role play lesson. The children have engaged so well with our playroom room activities especially in the pharmacy, they used their money skills to purchase medicine.

In maths we have been learning to recognise coins. We used our pharmacy to practise using money in real life situations.
In literacy we have had a focus on reading and writing CVC words with our phonics boards. The children were fantastic and loved to challenge themselves to make sentences. We introduced ‘th’ and can all identify words that start with this phoneme. As always I am incredibly proud of all of the children, well done P1B.
