Happy New Year from P1A!  This week we started to think about our new topic which is ‘Space’.  We made a list of all the things we want to learn about.  We have been practising the sounds we know and writing our common words.  We made gift tags and drew pictures of gifts we would give to Jesus.  In writing we wrote a story about a snowman melting.  Kyle wrote ‘The snowman melted because he was drinking hot chocolate’.  Junaid wrote ‘The snowman melted because he was too close to the lava at the volcano’.  In maths we practised our finger patterns, we investigated making numbers with the numicon and we did some work in our number workbooks.  We are going to have a space station in our classroom.  We made a plan of what we would like in the space station.  We looked at photos of other space stations by searching on Google and using these ideas.  Ogilvie Bear is very excited about the space station and even has a space helmet on.  He needs to get a space suit because he can’t go to space in his uniform!
