This week in P2/1 we have been leaning how to add two different amounts together. We learned that when you are adding you have to count the cubes or counters until you have counted them all. That will give you the answer. We were learning how to use ten-frames to help us with our adding.

We learned about the sound ‘o’.  To make our sound  we have to make our mouth into a large circle shape.

These things begin with the sound ‘o’ – orange, octopus, on, ox and octagon.  Can you help us find other things that begin with the ‘o’  sound?

We were learning about wild animals and animals are pets.  A pet might live in our houses and can be friendly.  Wild animals don’t stay in our houses and you wouldn’t want to pet one! We learned the names of some of the animals that live in Scotland.  We spoke about badgers, deer, otters, robins, rabbits, snakes and a few others. Next week we will be learning about why it is important to look after our community and the effect that litter can have on our wildlife.

We also took part in a Judo taster session.  We learned some new moves and had great fun. Destination Judo sessions are held in the Bathgate Sports centre (Xcite) on a Thursday night – we will be bringing home a leaflet to explain more!

We also learned how we can keep ourselves safe when out and about at bonfire/firework displays.  We listened to the the story of Welephant and his friend on Bonfire night.  Here is the webpage for the story if you want to share it with me. http://www.welephant.co.uk/bonfirestory000.htm

 

 

Shhhh….don’t tell but we have already started to learn our songs for our nativity.

Have a good weekend and stay safe on Bonfire Night!
