Good afternoon. P1 have had a very busy week. We have practised the split diagraph sounds, ar, ir, or sounds and red words. We have played roll and read, snakes and ladders, wrote words on whiteboards and made them on magnetic boards. In numeracy we have explored measurement. We looked at comparing objects that are bigger or smaller, measuring footprints and measuring items around the classroom using non-standard units. In IDL we have started exploring the theme of pets and are in the middle of setting up our role play area as a pet shop. Here are the children’s reflections:

Leo – “I liked playing dodgeball in gym.”

Emma – “I enjoyed starting to make our pet shop.”

David – “I liked playing dodgeball too.”

Mitchell – “Same as David.”

Angus – “I liked helping to make the pet shop and I had great fun playing dodgeball.”

Matthew- “I liked playing dodgeball.”

Lyla – “I liked making our pet shop.”

Aaron – “I loved dodgeball, making the pet shop and listening to the noises in the shells.”

Ishanvi – “I enjoyed playing corners in gym.”

Gracie – “I liked making the pet shop and bringing my animals into school.”
