  • In Maths we were practicing place value again and also odd and even numbers
  • We were estimating who is taller and who is smaller and we were checking the exact height of a few of us using a meter tape. We know that 1m = 100cm
  • We were upskilling our maths knowledge by using the Rekenrek and it was good fun.
  • We did some coding using exact instructions. We are able to reach the destination e. g. 5 steps forward, turn left etc.
  • In literacy we were practising handwriting with the letters Aa and Bb also we were reviewing our knowledge about Vowels and Consonants.
  • Our new sound for this week was ‘sh’ now we know how to write words like: shop, shed, shut, dish etc.
  • We were making ‘Staying Safe’ posters, where we told everyone what to do to avoid Covid 19 as best as we can.
  • Picasso was an artist who inspired us to draw irregular funny faces. We also know that Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga in Spain.
  • We spent lots of time doing outdoor learning, especially when the weather was really nice. We were practicing maths, literacy, coding and science outside.
  • In science we were learning about forces. We were developing our knowledge about pushing and pulling.
  • On Tuesday we were celebrating Mary’s Birthday so we were praying to Mary more than usual as well as being nicer to each other.
  • We were also learning about our Solar System (we will be learning more about this in P3), we know now that we have 8 planets and that the Sun is a star.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Mrs Koziel
