Learning Reflection W/E 14.12.18
Nativity
Well done to all of P1 and P2 for their fantastic Nativity performances this week. On Monday the children had a dress rehearsal for the whole school then on Tuesday and Wednesday they were thrilled to perform for parents and carers. I think you will agree they all did a wonderful job. We are all feeling very festive now!
Subtraction within 10
This week the children have continued to explore subtraction within 10. During our number talks some of the children are beginning to make addition and subtraction links!
Pingu lives in an igloo
The children have been finding out some interesting fact about penguins. The question they wanted to explore was do penguins live in igloos? They watched an episode of Pingu and listed all the things that Pingu could do.
Hiba – Pingu tidied his toys.
Kaelan – Pingu spat out his food because he didn’t like it.
Alister – Pingu’s dad pumped up the ball.
Austin – I saw Pingu use his arms to eat food and get toys.
Lewis – He was throwing a ball.
Subhan – Pingu was throwing a snowball.
Poppy – He can do everything that we can do!
Igloo Challenge
Then the children were set a penguin building challenge. Moving your arms like penguin flippers can you build an igloo? The children put socks on their hands and some even had rulers up their sleeves to limit their arm movement. It was very funny to watch!
Igloo Challenge Conclusion
Poppy – They don’t have hands to do stuff and grab stuff and pinch stuff. They have flippers penguins and humans are not exactly the same.
Lewis – Penguins can’t pinch they have flippers not fingers.
Subhan – It’s so hard to pick things up like penguins we have hands so it’s easy.
Charley – you couldn’t use your hands so it was difficult.
Austin – It’s too hard.
All – people build igloos!
Kaelan – penguins cuddle up when it is cold.
Christmas Lunch
On Thursday the children all enjoyed their Christmas lunch which was served by Santa!
Building our class igloo
Now the children know that penguins don’t live in or build igloos, people do! They have been very busy building a class igloo.
We need lots more milk cartons!
