Friday again! In P1 we have been continuing with number talks. We were asked how to make 20 and then we discussed all the different ways of making 20. In maths we have been continuing to learn about halves. We made pizzas on paper using halving of ingredients, made towers of certain numbers and then worked out what half of the amount was. We have started looking at giving change from 10p. We had our own shop, played two games one called coin exchange and the other one change please.  In Literacy we learned the new sounds ar and or and we learned a new tricky word which was we. We made and wrote words with these sounds in them. We played roll and read game. In writing we described Katie Morag. We learned what an adjective is and used adjectives to write a sentence about Katie Morag. With Mrs Fraser in science we were learning about flowers. We spoke about what plants give you, made flowers labelling the different parts of them and planted our own bean seeds. Someone has a daily job now of checking on the beans and watering them if they need it. In IDL we listened to another Katie Morag story and then drew a map of her island. In music we found the beat of a song and kept it. We also learned the song wind the bobbin up. Here are a few reflections:

Leighton: “I came up with a funny word, snore.”

Isaac: “I enjoyed writing the sound or. It was tricky saying or.”

Ayden: “I found it tricky when writing or. It was hard to keep my letters the same size.”

Lois: “I felt the same as Isaac. It was tricky saying the or sound.”

Ch: “I enjoyed doing number talks and thinking about ways to make 20.

Sam: “I found it easy to write the sound or.”

Euan: “I enjoyed writing the tricky words.”
