P1a have been busy this week learning about Spring. We have been thinking about the signs we can see all around us.  Can you spot some of the signs of Spring the next time you are out walking? Here are some signs we came up with …

• flowers
• baby animals
• blossom
• bees
• butterflies

We have also been doing some Easter rhyming. We had a go at making different words that rhyme with ‘un’ using Easter eggs and we thought that was lots of fun.

P1a have also been enjoyed our new and improved structured play area! We loved all the space we now have.

In maths, we have also been learning about how to link addition and subtraction number stories together using dominos and pegs.  We have been practising making 4 facts using 3 numbers e.g.

2+3 = 5, 3+2 = 5, 5 – 2= 3 and 5 -3 = 2

We also have been learning how to count beyond ten and counting out sets of objects up to 20.

P1a also enjoyed visiting the book fair and looking at all the lovely books.

We want to say a massive well done to the upper school for their show, we thought it was very funny.

Miss Rodford wants to give a big mention to Daniel S, for an amazing piece of instructional writing that he produced. It is super Daniel !!   Well done to Jack Mcmillan, who was our superhero of the week. Jack has shown super manners and he has been trying very hard with his learning this week!

P1a have been working really hard this week ….

We have been learning about symmetry and we made our own symmetrical patterns on the carpet. We have also been practising taking away on a number line.  We have been writing our own take away sums and been working out the answers using either our fingers or a number line.

We have been learning all about the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, we ordered the events of the story, drew pictures and wrote about the wolf.

As it is Fair Trade fortnight, we talked about why Fair Trade is important and we sorted foods which have the Fairtrade Symbol on it.

Can you spot any Fair Trade foods when you go shopping with your family?

P1b were looking good yesterday when lots of the children dressed up for world book day.  We have celebrated by reading some good stories in the library this week including ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and we have been writing wanted posters for Golidlocks and making pictures of her for our ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears Wall’ which we are very proud of.

Mrs Lloyd’s writing group have also been writing letters to the Three Bears from Golidlocks.  The quality of work produced was very high and the detail included was outstanding.  Well done boys and girls!
