This week we were kindly invited up to P6 to play some of the games they had been making in Science. We loved answering the questions and trying to light up the bulb to see if we were right. The P6s were great at helping us and explaining the different tasks to us. We also had a visit from the Nursery children who came to see our classroom and join in with some play time. We loved having them up to play!
We continued to practise writing different kinds of instructions. We made our very own banana and strawberry milkshakes. We had to practise our chopping skills and worked with a partner to cut up the fruit and pour in the milk. We wrote down instructions for each step and focused on using different sentence starters such as; firstly, secondly and finally. We were also looking at ordering sets of instructions. Miss Mudd had written some instructions for making Easter chocolate nests but they were all in a muddle! We had to use our reading skills to read them out and put them back in the right order. To check we had them right, we followed our instructions to make our own Easter nests.
In Maths we have been applying our subtraction skills to different word problems. We went on an Easter treasure hunt and had to find the missing eggs with the correct answer on them. We also used the giant dominoes to try and find the difference between the two numbers.
In Phonics some of the class were looking at the ‘oo’ sound so we decided to make some sticky ‘gloop’. We added water to corn flour and mixed it together until it formed a goo. We loved playing with it and moulding it into different shapes.
In IDL we finished off out Transport topic. We discussed all of our learning throughout the term and went back to look at our original plan to see if we had covered everything. We then started to look ahead to the future and think about how Transport may continue to change over time. We became inventors and invented our own modes of transport for the future. We had some very interesting ideas!
Our mums and dads have worked SO hard at home making wonderful bonnets for us. They were all amazing and everyone looked fabulous. We loved our Easter parade and got a chance to show off our handy work. Miss Mudd was amazed at how creative and imaginative we had all been. ‘Hats off’ to everyone who helped.
Thank you so much for all of your support this term. It has been a wonderful term and we have achieved so much together in P1/2. We have so many highlights to talk about and have made some very special memories together.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter holiday. Enjoy your special time together with your families.
P1/2 and Miss Mudd
