P6 Sharing the Learning Wk.Beg.14.9.20

One of the highlights this week was practising our discussion skills.  Remembering to listen was difficult when we had so much to say and wanted to share our opinions.  The topics were fun such as ‘Blue is a special colour.’ ,   ‘We do not need oceans.’ ,  ‘Ten is not a real number.’ and It is important to have something to believe in.’We had to remember to listen to others so we could respond, and we had to try and think up different responses and ideas.

We enjoyed maths and our teachers really made us think about how we get to an answer.

We learned about coding this week and created some animations, it was fun and can’t wait to do it again.

We went outside to revise our knowledge of nouns and proper nouns with a alphabet scavenger hunt.  The letter x, y and z were really hard.

P1 Learning Reflection W/E 18.9.20

This week in P1 we have been learning the sounds o and g. In numeracy, we have been counting and sorting numbers and finding the number before.  P1 enjoyed playing bean bag games for outdoor PE this week. Please see below for some of the children’s comments about their learning highlights from this week.

Kaylan – I enjoyed playing outside

Jessica – I liked playing the game with the beanbags

Izaan – Learning the sound ‘o’ and ‘g’

Josh – Learning about ‘o’ we painted ‘o‘ and did tell ted. You have to tell the teddy and show them how to do ‘o‘, you go all the way around the orange.

Kyra – I liked music,  we thought about how the music makes us feel. I felt like I was dancing in a party.

P2/1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 18th September 2020

Good Afternoon. P2/1 have had a busy week full of lots of learning. In Literacy, P1 have this week learned the sounds ‘g’ and ‘o’ and the tricky word said. We have made the letters with playdough, made a giraffe and an octopus, taught ted and coloured in ‘o’ pictures. We also made words on our magnetic boards using the letters learned so far. P2 have been revising the ‘air’ and ‘are’ sounds. We rolled dice with letters on them to make real and nonsense words, played snakes and ladders, played roll and read and completed a word search. We also did reading.

In Numeracy P1 have been learning about the number 10 and finding the number one after a given number. We have made 10 out of playdough, drawn stories of 10, spun the spinner to find the number after and played a dice game. P2 have been exploring fact families, the part part whole model, writing number sentences using the add sign. We completed a number line worksheet, wrote fact families and completed part part whole models.

In Health and Wellbeing this week we looked at the tool of keep connected. We spoke about people who support and encourage us. We then created our own back up team. We sorted out animals into their habitats. On Thursday afternoon we looked at coding. We had to help Rusty the Robot get to his desk by following a code. We then explored programming a BeeBot.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I found it tricky when coding Rusty the Robot to get him in the right box.”

“I enjoyed learning about coding.”

“I found it tricky when Rusty the Robot had to avoid his friends and the bugs and we had to turn him left or right.”

“I enjoyed learning the ‘g’ and ‘o’ sounds.”

“I liked making my own Geraldine giraffe.”

“I enjoyed coding Rusty the Robot.”

“I enjoyed making an octopus using breakfast cereal.”

“I enjoyed programming the BeeBot.”

“I liked using BeeBot.”

Have a lovely long weekend.
