As part of our Anti-Bullying Week, we looked at kindness. We listened to the story ‘Last Stop on Market Street’ and talked about all the different things that CJ did which were kind. He gave up his seat up on the bus and he helped to give food to people at the soup kitchen. We then shared examples of when we had shown kindness. We drew detailed pictures of us being kind. When we have been playing this week we have shown kindness to others.
This week our new sounds were ‘u’ and ‘b’. When learning the ‘u’ sound, we made ‘u’ with play dough, practised writing ‘u’, played a memory game with ‘u’ words and pictures and made our own underpants! When we were learning the ‘b’ sound, we played ‘Bath Time Bubbles’ on Education City, found pictures beginning with ‘b’ and made ‘b’ words on the magnetic boards.
This week, we were learning to add one and two more and we were also finding addition facts for two and three. We found different ways to make 3 with our play dough and ladybirds, made our own number sentences and played a game called ‘Ghostblasters’ on the smartboard to practise our addition facts.
On Thursday we were learning to describe and compare the capacity of objects. We looked at containers and circled which could hold more/less, used cubes to see how many cubes each container could hold, explored how many cups of sand filled different buckets and played a capacity game called ‘Pitcher Perfect’ on Education City.
This week we have been continuing to look at the story ‘Wee Granny’s Magic Bag’. We looked at wee Granny’s bag and discussed it’s pattern. We described what tartan looks like, the colours we could see and looked at examples of tartan. We made our own tartan using strips of red, white and green paper. Miss Harrison loved our tartan so much that she put it all up in our role play area. Now it is Wee Granny’s tartan kitchen!
Today was Children in Need Day. We came to school in spotty clothing and we helped to raise money by paying £1 to dress down and we went to the Pupil Council bake sale. We thought it was very funny that we got to eat cakes in our classroom! Thank you to everyone who helped support our Children in Need Day.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
