We are becoming very exact highlighting our keywords in phonics lessons and we had fun playing bingo – we had two winners that found all the words on their sheet.
We also practised writing our keywords in boxes to help us remember where sounds appear in words and we used “rainbow writing” for our keywords inside hot air balloons.
For our “Garden topic” work we identified the four stages in the lifecycle of a butterfly and then wrote about each stage in as much detail as we could.
During “Buddy-time” the Primary 7s helped us to understand division by following sharing instructions on mats with plasticine. Then, our Buddies gave us lots of help with the “Division Race” game as they could tell us half of a number.
We were learning about time in maths. We discovered that finding “o’clock” times are easy when we look for the big hand at 12 and then the little hand for the hour.
The class used individual clocks to practise reading times with their buddy.
We wrote super stories set in the rainforest. We described some very friendly and exotic animals and insects. We also had to remember that each sentence starts with a capital letter and finishes with a full stop.
Ruby made a great job of using some letter templates during free play.
Jackie making lovely necklaces and choosing a “Frozen” jigsaw.
Keilija working on her drawing skills using grids and then with her finished design.
Owen rearranging some shapes to make interesting designs.
Bye for now – from P1L.
