We’ve had a spooky week in P1b!

We’ve been getting in the mood for Halloween with our Funnybones inspired town and have started to set the streets up. We painted our boxes and stuck on windows and doors. We had another play with the beebots – programming them to move along the street and being careful to avoid a collision! We’ll continue this next week.

This week also did a fantastic job of drawing black pen pictures of pumpkins. We looked carefully at how a pumpkin is shaped and then drew triangles and diamonds for its nose and mouth. We then very very carefully coloured in our pumpkins before proudly displaying them in the window.   

This morning we’ve had lots of Halloween fun with Mrs Thomson. We’ve been building Halloween words, reading spooky stories and dancing along to the Addams Family!

We also enjoyed admiring the fantastic pumpkins and were very excited that Violet won a prize for the best pumpkin!

In phonics this week we’ve learned the u and f sounds. We’ve also started reading in our groups and reading books have started coming home. We usually read on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in class but please bring reading folders in every day. If there are any issues or questions please note them down in the reading record.

In numeracy we’re now looking at addition, initially looking at two sets and asking how many altogether.  We’ve also started to look at length, using the terms ‘longer’ and ‘shorter’.

Have a great Halloween weekend! Here are a few photos from this week:
