Welcome back! This week we have been consolidating all of our sounds and revising all of our common words. We have been reading non-fiction books and trying to find our common words, identifying pictures to match sounds, writing our own sentences on the whiteboards and playing games on the smartboard with our common words. Next week we will be learning some new sounds and words.
This week, we have been revising all of our subtraction facts to 5 and have started to subtract 1 and 2 from numbers to 10. We have been continuing to use subtraction language such as ‘less than’ and ‘take from’ and we are beginning to link addition and subtraction facts. We worked with a partner to give each other subtraction sums to solve.
On Wednesday morning, we found a photograph of Mr Fluff in a space shuttle! He thanked us for helping him to learn all about transport and we talked about what we learned and how transport has changed. We then discussed how people might travel in the future and we enjoyed looking at photos of magnetic levitation trains, driverless cars and supersonic cars. It was then our turn to be inventors and we drew pictures of our own transportation vehicles that could be used in the future! We shared our inventions with the rest of the class.
This week, we started our Outdoor Learning Focus on Spring. We discussed signs of spring and using clipboards and a Spring Hunt checklist, went outside to our play areas and outdoor classroom. We found daffodils, insects, flower buds, flowers, birds, blossom, seedlings and nests.
Later that afternoon, we used potatoes to print pictures of tulips and used tissue paper to make flowers. Spring has definitely arrived in P1A!
Thank you very much for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
