I hope you have all had a good week. We have been very busy in P1 and the children would like to share some of their learning with you.
Firstly, I just wanted to give you an update on the beans that we are growing in our “greenhouses”. It is really interesting for the children to see what usually happens under the soil.
Fairyland
Writing – Little Red Riding Hood 
This week we have been reading Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf’s Story. The Wolf’s story is a different version of Little Red Riding Hood. In this story the wolf explains that it wasn’t his fault, it was Little Red’s fault for bringing Grandma sticky toffees (ask your child to tell you more!) The children absolutely loved the story and had never thought about there being 2 sides to the story.
After much discussion we decided to vote for who we believed was telling the truth. We create a bar chart to display the results-
As you can see, most children believed that the wolf was telling the truth. The children then had to record which version they believed to be the truth and why. Some examples below-
The children then created a puppet show of their favourite version.
The children enjoyed creating their very own baskets for Grandma, using weaving to create a basket effect.
The children have also enjoyed creating imaginary stories using dragon masks from the castle-
Numeracy
Well done to the boys who challenge themselves to complete the subtraction train in record time! Also great job in creating number families to 14!
Health and Wellbeing
For the next few weeks we will be focusing on “Changing Me” . We began by revisiting lifecycles and how we change as we get older. The children had a discussion about what they would like to be when they grow up. We had lots of interesting occupations including, personal trainers, singers, painters etc.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I will be back next week with more updates.
