Play is a really important part of our P1/2 class. The children have free choice during Task time to learn through their play. Play opportunities provided in our class often relate to the learning taking place that week or developing a specific skill but also takes account of their interests. Play opportunities are changed regularly, with some activities being left out longer if they prove popular! We are encouraging the children to suggest what they would like to play with so we can cater for their interests. Have a look at the play activities set out for this coming week…
P1 have been working on capacity in Maths. This activity is helping to reinforce finding “half”. They also have the opportunity for free water play, pouring, filling and estimating how many.
A popular Task! Park the cars by working out the sum or counting. The children can also create their own sums to match the answers on the cars.
We are going to start letter writing. This task asks the children to create questions they might use in a letter. They will use question words to start their sentence and a ? to finish it.
P1/2 will always do a Task if they think we need their help!
Fine motor skills are being developed as we use the tweezers to feed the chicks some worms.
Imaginative role play in our school classroom!
P2 have been working on number to 100. Our 100 chart lets them find missing numbers, practise counting backwards and forwards and lets them explore the number sequences they have been learning.
This week we have been focusing on Easter. Mrs Henderson introduced the Easter story earlier in the week and the children sequenced the story to retell it. They made Easter cards and had the opportunity to choose Easter Tasks during their free time. Today we spoke about Good Friday and Easter Sunday and how some of the things we do at Easter time are linked to the story. We were lucky enough to be visited by the Easter Bunny today and were left clues to find our hidden baskets! We also did a spot of egg rolling to end our day! 🙂
