It has been another quick week in P1 and P2/1. We are super excited by the arrival of some new friends including a new teacher called Mrs Anderson who is going to be working with us all on Wednesday afternoons. We are very happy to welcome her to our school. We had a little taster of some yoga as Mrs Anderson has special skills in yoga.
Lexie – I loved yoga even though it was my first time doing it!
Lennon – I really enjoyed the monkey poses.
Kyle – I enjoyed the lion pose.
We have been learning to ‘take away’ . Mia enjoyed using the numicon to support her learning. Kayleigh has been practising independently using a dice to make up her own take away calculations. She was able to remember to always put the big number first. Brendan thought that crossing out was a good strategy and helped him find the answer.

Writing this week.
We have been learning 2 new tricky words – want and went. We decided to write about what we wanted to be when we grew up. The children did a fantastic job and we hope they achieve their dream careers.
Lennon and Charlie explained that when you grow up up need a job to earn money. Here are some of our career dreams…..
Brendan – I want to be a police officer or a firefighter.
Chloe – I want to be a teacher to help my friends.
Scarlet- I want to be teacher.
Charlie- I want to be fisherman so I can make fish fingers, I love fish fingers.
LLLLLLL ladybugs.
This week our new sound was the letter ‘l’. We made ladybugs to remind of the sound and shape of the letter.

Isla – I liked the task. I put 3 and 4 dots on and I knew that made 7 altogether.
Chloe – I liked the red shell on mine.
Destination Judo.
Today we were lucky enough to have Jake from Destination Judo come into school and give us a half hour judo taster session. We had to wear cool judo jackets and take off our gym shoes. It was great fun, we played lots of games with a partner and had to be really good listeners to play the games safely.
Mia – I liked playing the ‘get the bean bag’ game, it was fun being a starfish.
Sophie – I liked trying to push someone over onto their back, it was a turtle game and you had to protect the bean bag.
Lexie – I enjoyed getting to be the referee.
