Mathematicians in P1b

Today in maths P1b put their memories to the test and were revising lots of maths concepts that we have already learned about in P1.  We remembered the names of 2D and 3D shapes, we worked on sorting and identifying coins to £2 and we measured pictures of objects carefully using paper clips. We also revised our adding, time telling and pattern work on the iPads.  It was hard work!

As well as all that – we learned something new too!  We worked on the mathematical symbols for greater than > and less than < and compared different numbers to place the greater than and less than symbols correctly.  We are getting really good at it already!

Data Handling in P1b

P1b were learning all about graphs this week.  We discussed our favourite characters from some fairy tales and made our votes using our ‘voting sponges’.  This helped us to count up which character had the most votes and to talk about the most and least popular characters.  We worked out that most people preferred the friendly dragon over the gingerbread man and that Rapunzel was the favourite character over Golidlocks and Little Red Riding Hood.  We then used what we had learned to help us create our own Easter graphs.  Super results achieved – well done P1b!

Marvellous Maths in P1b

P1b have been working hard today with drawing and counting objects to 20 and beyond.  Miss Dyet worked with the children and was very impressed with their accurate counting and number formation.  We tried out some tips on how to count large groups of objects and found that marking the objects that we had counted helped us to make sure we hadn’t counted any objects twice and hadn’t missed any out!

Symmetry in P1b

Yesterday, during non-number maths P1b were learning all about symmetry.  We talked about what symmetry means and impressed Mrs Lloyd when we were putting spots onto a ladybird to make it symmetrical.  We also put a line of symmetry down our alphabet rug and had to position ourselves to make it symmetrical.  We were really good at it!

Marvellous Measuring!

P1b were practising their measuring skills at the beginning of the week when they were using a variety of items to measure different objects and pictures.  We measured with paper clips, lollysticks and even straws.  We learned that you have to make sure that the items are touching and that there are no big gaps in order to measure accurately.  We even practised our estimating skills and were quite close with a lot of our estimates!  Have a look at us in action and why not have a go at using some straws or cubes to estimate and then measure some things around your house.  Let us know how you get on!

Busy bees in P1b!

Yet another busy week in Primary one.

In literacy, we have been working hard to blend our sounds together to make words as well as reading and writing our tricky words.

In maths, we have been consolidating our addition work, beginning our subtraction work and practising counting, writing and ordering the numbers up to 20.  We are getting really good at this!

We were also lucky enough to have a visit from the SSPCA this week and we enjoyed listening to the lady telling us all about her job and showing us the equipment that she uses to help the animals that are hurt.  (Don’t worry, it’s only a pretend snake!).

We have also begun our toys topic and have been thinking about what we already know about toys and what we would like to find out.

Keep up the good work P1b!

Marvellous Maths in P1b

This week has been another very busy week in P1b.  All of the children have been working very hard on their number formation and on counting and adding numbers togther.  We have been using a variety of resources to help us with our adding and we are really impressing Mrs Lloyd.

We have also been learning about 3D shapes this week.  We went on a shape hunt around the school with our parent helper Miss Graham and we managed to find lots of 3D shapes.  It was really good fun!  Have a look at our pictures and see what shapes you can spot!

Addition Experts!

P1b impressed Mrs Lloyd today with their fantastic addition.  Everyone was working and concentrating really hard to ensure that they were counting carefully.  P1 now know what an adding sign and an equals sign looks like and are working hard to make sure that they can write all their numbers round the right way.

Yaroslav enjoyed the dice addition today while Isla liked counting out the animals.  Nathan C enjoyed counting the spots on the dominoes while Olivia liked using our adding machine.  Ben enjoyed adding the popcorn numbers and Caleb’s favourite activity was playing the beach holiday game on the laptops.  Well done boys and girls and keep up the good work!

P1b hard at work ………… again!!

This has been a very busy week.  We had great fun again in the structured play area where we were practising recognising all the coins when we were buying items in the shop!  Some chefs were busy working on making delicious healthy meals while in the role play area others were looking after the babies!

We have been working on shape again this week and have made lovely shape tractors which link with our harvest topic.  Take a look at us in action!

Please leave us a comment if you can – we like reading them!
