P1/2 have had a great couple of weeks!

Tickled Pink:

• Dancing was good fun as part of national health and wellbeing day – the children got to show off their moves in the hall with the other classes.
• Learning the ‘j’ sound was fun because we pretend to be jelly and wobble our bodies.
• We had our Family Breakfast which the children really enjoyed. They loved the pancakes and showing off our classroom.
• We had lots of fun with our buddies building a house for our class owl ‘Fluffy’ (the class named him!). They could use any materials and resources in the class and they were really creative when decorating the inside – one even had a hot tub for Fluffy to relax in!

 

Green for Growth:

• Counting ALL of the items in the picture was a bit tricky for some children but once they slowed down and made sure they touched one item for each number they said, it became easier. We will continue to practise this.
• Some children found the colour mixing activity a bit confusing at first but once they were mixing the paints to make their own new colours it made sense. They enjoyed reading ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’ at the beginning and discussing why the red and blue alien had a purple baby. They were able to sing along with the colour mixing song after the paint mixing and recall that red, blue and yellow are called the ‘primary colours’.

 

Our Lead Learners for next week are Lucas F and Miah. They have set the class the target of tidying up ALL of the rubbish after snack so we can follow our class rule of keeping the classroom tidy (and get a Sinclair Smile so we can get a reward!)

 

Have a super weekend,

Mrs Wallace
