This week started off with some group work in our reading routes groups.  The boys and girls had to work together to think of adjectives to describe different objects.  They thought hard to think of really interesting words then chose their best word to share with the class.  Lots of impressive WOW words were shared – well done everyone!

In maths this week we have been reinforcing our addition to 10 and have been working on improving our quick recall of pairs of numbers which add to make 10.  We played addition board games and used the iPads to help us practise this.  We have also been working on some addition colour by number pictures.  Mrs Lloyd thinks we are getting really good at this!

We have also been working on numbers up to 20 and have practised making and recording the numerals as well as counting out the right number of objects.

In the structured play area we had great fun using our imaginations and dressing up as pirates.  We also completed some pirate jigsaws, built pirate ships from lego and played with the small world pirate ships.  It was brilliant fun!

This week, P1a have been learning about what Pirates look like. We have be taking photos of ourselves and have turned ourselves into Pirates! We have also been thinking about Pirate names for our homework !

‘I am called Captain Daniel Blackbeard’ – Daniel Gough

‘I am called Captain Golden Hair Storm’ Savannah

‘I am called Captain Blackbeard’ – Jack

We have also been drawing pictures of Pirate! They look very scary! On Monday, we learnt about what a Pirate flag is called and we made our own flags ! Don’t they look super.

P1a loved dressing up as Pirates and going into the new Pirate role play area ! They had so much fun!

In Maths, we have been practising our adding and made super Pirate Addition ships and we have also been practising how to count to 20.  We also learnt how to share the Pirate coins out equally !
