Happy New Year everyone! We’re back from our holidays raring to go.
We have a fantastic new board at the entrance to the school showing Springfield School Vision and Values. We have been learning about our key values – we are ‘resilient, respectful, kind, confident and included.’ To help us to understand what these words mean we have been learning songs and actions. Here we are doing the actions:
We are resilient
We are respectful
We are kind
We are confident
We are included
In phonics we learned the sounds ‘qu’ and ‘x’ These sound a lot like other sounds (s and c) and are tricky to hear in words but we were trying really hard to tell the differnce. We liked making treasure maps with ‘x’ marks the spot and drawing x-rays.
In maths we were so busy Mrs Kennedy forgot to take any photos! We have been doing really hard maths, as hard as P7, as we tried equations. We sometimes call them ‘missing number sums’ as this is easier to say. We had to recall our addition facts for 3, 4, and 5 to fill in the missing numbers. Next week we will look at missing number sums for addition to 6, 7, and 8.
Mrs Kennedy brought in lots of empty boxes she has collected over the holidays (mainly chocolate boxes!) and we have been very using them in our creative area, some great designs and excellent teamwork.
M, R and C built a fantastic castle together.
Have a good weekend everyone.
From P1B and Mrs Kennedy
