P1/2 enjoyed some pirate fun in the structured play area this week.  The boys and girls enjoyed dressing up as pirates, building pirate ships with the duplo, completing pirate jigsaws, drawing pirate pictures and playing with the toy pirate ships!  It was great fun and everyone worked hard to practise the skills of listening, turn taking and sharing.  Well done!

In maths, we have been working on linking lots of our maths skills together to work out lots of different word problems.  It was a bit tricky at first but we are getting better at it!  We also practised sequencing numbers to 20, sharing objects equally, working out the missing numbers in sums by using the strategy of counting on and working out the different number stories of 9.

In literacy, we revised our knowledge of the vowel house sounds.  We practised some of the tricky sounds and thought about some ways to help us remember them.  We used Mrs Lloyd’s post it notes to write the sounds and match them with the pictures.

As part of our values program, Darren from the Lanthorn church came to speak to us about co-operation.  He left lots of activities for us to have a go at so that we could practise our co-operation skills.

Another hard working week P1/2.  Well done and keep it up!
