March already! Where does the time go?

Since our last blog we have been very busy rebuilding Fairyland. We have been working hard on Jack and the Beanstalk and The 3 Billy Goats Gruff in the hope that they return to Fairyland. The dragon left us a letter today and our hard work is paying off. Fairyland is starting to return. The dragon sent us clues for our next story. It’s The Gingerbread Man!

We have been exploring Fairytales through our play activities. Here we are hard at work!

Our story writing has been related to Fairyland. We have been working on writing descriptions. Last week we described the dragon who visited us to ask for help to save Fairyland. This week we designed our own troll and wrote descriptions. Our trolls were fantastic and we were so careful painting them.

We are working on setting targets for our writing such as finger spaces, writing on the line, capital letters and full stops. We are looking forward to writing about The Gingerbread Man.

In Maths we have been working on missing number sums such as 3+?=7. These are tricky but we have been playing games and using numbertracks to help. Look out for the cup game for next week’s homework. This will help us with these calculations. We are looking forward to exploring what happens when we take away.

In health we have been talking about emergencies and the emergency services and will be learning about what to do in an emergency. We have finished our gymnastics block and are moving on to ball skills.

Thanks for reading our blog. We hope you enjoy reading about life in Primary 1. See you next time!
