P1b

As it was Halloween on Tuesday Priamary 1b have been doing some spooky maths!

We did a trick or treating game where you had to say a rhyme, roll and dice and count out the sweeties.

We counted and made black spiders on webs using paint.

We coloured some shapes on a ghost and showed how many there were of each shape.

We did some counting of spooky pictures and wrote the number of how many there were.

We had to draw some spooky pictures by reading the number on a card.

It was super fun and super spooky!!

This week we have been doing some Autumn stations for our maths and numeracy.

We have been…

• Making jigsaws by putting the numbers in the right order
• Making the number 8 by using the leaves
• Matching leaves and conkers to a number on a leaf
• Counting pictures and using a peg to show the number
• Rolling a dice and finding the number on the autumn mat
• Making pairs with the autumn leaves cards

We have really enjoyed our Autumn Maths Stations. Ask us more about what we are doing in the pictures!!

This week we started a new topic called ‘Ourselves and our Families’.

We did 5 stations to explore and learn more about our new topic.

Our stations were…

In the library we were pretending to be a mummy or daddy and read to our children or babies. – Adrian

At the writing area we had to draw our family and write who was there – Harrison

In the house we were pretending to be a family – Carys

At the creative area we used playdough to make our faces. – Sienna

We used mirrors to see ourselves – Scott

At construction we were building houses for a family – Josh

We are very excited to learn more about our new topic!

This week has been a short week because of the September weekend.

We did a mini topic for another story. It is called Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.

We did lots of tasks for Goldilocks and the three bears.

We have loved taking part in Maths Week. It’s name was Participating in Pattern. We learned about colour, shape and picture patterns.

We noticed patterns in rhyming words. We did lots of activities about rhyming words during literacy this week too. We even wrote a rhyming story about a Fat Cat on a mat.

On Thursday we had an art afternoon all about Pattern. We printed, and cut and stick to make 3 beautiful different patterns. You can see them in our class and around the school.

Sorting

This week we have been sorting by colours

We sang lots of songs about colours our favourite was the crayon song where we had to guess the colour from a rhyme. Orange doesn’t rhyme with anything!

We did some stations for colour sorting we had to…

• we had to use tweezers to put the coloured pom poms in the correct bowl
• we sorted the dinosaurs by colour and we had to count them
• we played snap on the Smart board with colours

Things we know about ‘a’ are…

On Friday we made something special for our names we made a Name Rocket.

We had to put our name in right order and we made our rockets by ourselves.

Numeracy

Our number this week has been Two!

We have been making it with playdoh, chalk and with pens at the writing area.
