What a week we have had in P1 with lots of learning going on.

In Maths, we learned about capacity and helped Will the Wizard organise his potions in order from empty to half full and full.  Then we had to order his other potions in order from the least amount to the most amount.

We reinforced our learning by experimenting in the sand area, filling up different containers and talking confidently about whether they were empty or full or half full.

In Numeracy we have been continuing to ‘count on’.  The strategy we use for this is to put the ‘big’ number in our heads and use our fingers or other materials to help us add.  We have been using the computers to help reinforce this.

In our Plan, Play & Review groups we chose to find 2D shapes in the playground.  We found lots of different shapes and could name them.

We made colourful Christmas trees using strips of paper which we had to measure starting with the shortest to the longest piece.

We learned the sounds ‘l’ and ‘r’ in Literacy this week.  We wrote them in our jotters, on coloured paper with pens, pencils, chalks and crayons and in sand.  We also used cubes to build the sounds. We looked for the sounds in books, leaflets and magazines.

We had a surprise PE lesson with Mrs Logan on Tuesday.  She really made us work hard in our groups but it was great fun.

On Wednesday we had our Christmas lunch.  Ms Macrae rang a bell and we all walked along the corridor singing ‘Jingle Bells’.  The lunch was delicious and we enjoyed sitting together as a class to eat our lunch.  Mrs Mackie even had lunch with us!

We had our dress rehearsal for our nativity today in front of the other boys and girls.  It was good to perform in front of an audience and now we can’t wait until we get to perform for our families next week.  We haven’t included any photographs of our rehearsal as it is a surprise for Wednesday!

 

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
