Even though the last two weeks have been shorter, we have been busy in P1A!
Last week, we started looking at old and new transport and how transport has changed over time. Thomas suggested that we change our role play area into a transport museum and we all thought that was a wonderful idea. We have a ticket office, a cafe, a book shop and photographs of old modes of transport. Charlie and Daniel brought in photographs for our museum. Charlie’s great great grandfather was an inspector on the trams for over 30 years and a drummer in the Glasgow Corporation Transport Pipe Band. Daniel’s uncle built a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car which is displayed in the Glasgow Transport Museum. We have had lots of fun playing in our transport museum.
When we came to school last Wednesday, we got a big surprise! Mr Fluff (our class mascot) was in our transport museum with a photograph! He had been to the transport museum in Glasgow and was in a horse and cart.
We decided to help Mr Fluff and that morning, we started to learn about how transport has changed. The first car looked very different and only had enough space for two people. We were able to sort pictures of transport onto a timeline and put them in order from oldest to newest.
Mr Fluff was on another adventure this week! When we came into school on Thursday, we found him in the transport museum with a photograph of him on an aeroplane! We learned about the different ways that humans have tried to fly throughout history.
Last week, we learned two new sounds by combining letters together. We looked at the ‘th’ and ‘wh’ sounds. This week we have been revising the ‘sh’, ‘ch’, ‘th’ and ‘wh’ sounds. We have been continuing to look at all of our common words to help us with our reading and writing.
In numeracy and maths, we have been learning how to write numbers to 10 in words. Next week, we will be looking at number words to 20. We have also been learning about money. Last week, we looked at coin recognition and we are now learning to add money amounts to 10p.
Today we won the peg challenge again! We always walk quietly in the corridors and we had 18 pegs altogether. Miss Harrison is always very proud of us.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope you have a lovely weekend!

P1A and Miss Harrison what wonderful work as always! I love hearing about Mr Fluff’s adventures! I wonder where he will be found next! Thank you Miss Harrison!
