Over the past few weeks, P1 have become more and more confident in their Maths learning. The children have been identifying, naming and writing numbers. They have also been using lots of different materials to improve their 1:1 correspondence when counting objects.
P1 continued their learning in their Science topic today: Our Incredible Body. This week, they were learning about the heart, its position in our body, its important job and what happens to it when we exercise.
To start our lesson, we explored what we already knew about our hearts:
Kalvin – “It bleeds!”
Aimee-Leigh – “It beats!”
Flynn – “It is near the lungs!”
The children had fun throughout the lesson listening to their own hearts beat through a stethoscope and comparing how our heart felt before and after a short burst of exercise. We even played with some pretend blood and droppers to simulate how the heart works as a pump . Great work P1!
Today in P1, the children had fun learning another new sound: ‘t’.
They learned what this sound looks like, sounds like, how to write it and where in the mouth this sound is made. They explored the formation of this sound through play-dough and tracing boards, followed by sorting pictures on the Smartboard. Successful Learners all round!
P1 and P1/2 children will be bringing home a homework folder today, with some homework activities to be returned on Friday of each week.
If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to discuss this with your child’s class teacher.

Many thanks!

Some P4 children have enjoyed the first 2 weeks of being exclusive members of our Lego Club. They have worked well as a team, taking on the roles of Engineer, Supplier and Builder to successfully create a model camera in the 1st week and a frog this week.
Miss Smith has been very impressed by their patience with each other, listening skills and team work.
