What a busy week we have had in P1A!
On Monday morning we started to look at adding to 10. We have been learning to add two and three sets of objects and find how many altogether. We have been using pebbles to add, adding people on a bus, using dice to make addition sums, using Mickey Mouse to help us add, adding in our workbooks and playing addition games on the smartboard.
In Numeracy & Maths, we have also been learning how to estimate and measure the length and height of objects using different materials such as cubes, paper clips and counters. We used building bricks to measure the height of objects and we used cubes, counters, pebbles and paper clips to measure the length of different items. We also went outside to measure in the playground! We looked for things which were longer and shorter than our feet.
This week our new sounds were ‘d’ and ‘o’. We made ‘d’ with our play dough and jewels, wrote ‘d’ words on the whiteboards, played ‘Dancing Dinosaurs’ on Education City, practised writing ‘d’ in our workbooks and looked for ‘d’ words under the lentils. When we were learning the ‘o’ sound, we made ‘o’ words on the magnetic boards, we drew ‘o’ pictures, we practised writing ‘o’ with rainbow writing and we played ‘Ollie Octopus’ on Education City.
As well as learning our new sounds, we have also been learning all the character names in our reading books. We have been matching the pictures to the character names; Mum, Dad, Kipper, Biff, Chip and Floppy. We have been working hard to use our sounds to read the words in our reading books.
On Monday afternoon we were very excited! It was the PTA Halloween Hop. We got to dress up in our Halloween costumes, make Halloween masks and dance at the Halloween disco. We had lots of fun and we would like to thank the PTA for all their hard work.
On Friday we were very pleased to hear that we won Class of the Week and the peg challenge! Miss Harrison was very proud of us as she knew how hard we had been working this week with all our new learning.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
