O is for Octopus 🐙

In P1 today our new sound was “o”. We listened to a story about Ollie the Octopus who wanted a party with his friends Ostrich and Oscar! We talked about different words with the “o” sound and then made an octopus to take home to help us learn our new sound. We made our octopus’s tentacles by wrapping them round a pen to make curls.

Below is a video link for a tricky origami crane.

Below is a video link to create an origami dog.

Could you try some other origami designs? Take some pictures of your work and post them on the blog for us to see.

Maths Week P5/6

Today we took part in a live maths lesson with many other schools across the country as part of maths week.

We were challenged to think about our knowledge of 3D shapes. We had to use origami to create a cube.

We learned how important the “learning pit” was. Most of us failed the first time and we had to try again. We needed to use a number of strategies to support as. We had to keep a positive mindset throughout in order to be successful.
