Train Mad P1B!

This week we have been learning our first 2 digraphs – ‘sh’ and ‘ch’.  We already knew lots of words with these sounds in as we are very good at hearing sounds in words.  We are now working on using these digraphs as we write.

Imogen and Lucas made shampoo and shapes for the ‘sh’ sound.

In maths we have been learning odd and even numbers.  We made Even Characters, drawing them using only even numbers – 2 heads, 4 legs, 6 arms, etc.040 041 042

Next week we will make Odd Houses for them to live in.

On Wednesday we had a visit from Greig of Google Expeditions.  The photographs don’t do it justice but we had a really interesting session, using the handheld devices to have a 3D trip under the sea and then into space.  We really enjoyed it.

In outer maths this week we continued to look at patterns.  We read ‘Aliens Love Underpants’ and then designed our own underpants.  We all made fab designs and we think the aliens would love them!

We have been extremely busy turning our home corner into a train station.  We planned together, deciding on the furniture, equipment and signs we would need.  We then set to work to make it and have had a lot of fun playing in it already.  020 021 019024  027 028 029 025 031 034

We have also been thinking about train journeys.  We read the story ‘The Train Ride’ and sequenced it together.  We will be thinking more about train journeys next week – one’s we’ve actually been on and magical ones that we would love to go on.

We have also been trying some yoga at the end of the day for the past couple of weeks.  The children are far more flexible then Mrs Kennedy!  We’re finding it is a nice relaxing end to a busy day.

Have a good weekend, from P1B and Mrs Kennedy
