P1b have been improving their times as they get changed into their gym kit for gymnastics with Mr Muldoon!  The children have been working on lots of different skills including forward rolls, star jumps, swinging on the ropes and landing safely.  I was very impressed when I went in for a peek this week and I know that Mr Muldoon is very pleased with the hard work and good listening skills which are enabling the children to use the equipment safely.

Well done P1b

We have been busy learning all about our number facts to 8. We have been using cubes and our fingers to help us to work out the different ways that we can make 8.

In reading, we are working hard to sound out new words.

‘I liked book ‘pets’ it was fun’ Ava.

We have also been spending lots of time looking at our bean plants to see how they have been growing.  Lots of the beans now have a stalk and leaves.
