P1 Learning Reflection for W/E 4.12.20

This week the children have been learning the sounds ‘th’ and ‘w’. In numeracy we have been continuing with addition and subtraction within 10. P1 have also enjoyed taking part in the 12 Sways of Christmas challenges. So far they have designed Christmas crackers, carried out a survey of favourite class Christmas snacks and designed glasses suitable for a reindeer. The children have also been learning BSL Christmas songs. On Wednesday the children were out in the garden with Ms Wigham putting up bird feeders, just in time for the snow! The highlight of the week for us all was sitting around the campfire with Mrs Smith and toasting marshmallows to make s’mores, yum, yum!

Reflection Comments:

Oliver – I enjoyed designing reindeer glasses. My glasses have a walkie talkie and also a hood and decorations!

Georgia – I made reindeer glasses with a rainbow.

Lily – We have an elf in the classroom. It’s in a jar because of the virus. We are crossing off the days so it can come out!

Grace – We have an elf in the classroom. We are only allowed to let it out when we have crossed off all the days we have 10 days left.

Rhy-Lee – We made a fire and we put the marshmallows beside it. Then we put the marshmallow on biscuits.

Josh – We learned the ‘th’ sound you need a ‘t’ and a ‘h’!

Kade – We were guessing the reindeer’s name. I guessed Santa Claus!

Alexander – You can open the elf in 10 days!

Jack – We are learning the 12 days of Christmas. We are learning sign language!

Izaan – We went into the back garden. We put some bird things on the trees with bird food.

Ella – We learned sign language for jingle Bells!

P2/1 Weekly Learning Reflection W/E 4th December 2020

Good Afternoon. P2/1 have been working hard again this week. In Literacy, P1 have been learning the ‘w’ sound and the diagraph ‘th’ and the tricky word was. We made words on our magnetic boards, coloured pictures that began with ‘w’, taught ted, played roll and read, cut out and made ‘th’ words and drew pictures of something beginning with ‘w’. P2 have explored the last 25 of the first 100 Fry’s common words. We made the words on magnetic boards, wrote the missing words from the sentences on a white board and played our own board games.

In Maths P1 have been exploring subtraction We have used counters and ourselves to explore subtraction. We played dice subtraction where we had to roll two dice and then take the small number away from the bigger number. We also completed subtraction worksheets. P2 have been exploring numerals and number words to 20 and place value to 20 and beyond. We have played snap with numerals and number words, made numbers using base 10 materials, explored one more and one less than using the base 10. We completed a two sided worksheet where we had to say how many tens and ones were shown.

In Science we have been learning about the four seasons. The seasons are winter, spring, summer and autumn. We have continued to practise our nativity and had a go of acting in front of the green screen. Our nativity will be filmed next week. For art we painted our salt dough ornaments and created our sign for our advert. Our salt dough ornaments are £1 each. This week we have practised signing the second day of Christmas for the 12 Days of Christmas.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
