We had a great start to the week when Cs Granda brought his friend Robert to P1B. There is not much Robert doesn’t know about trains and he gave a fantastic talk. He brought lots of examples of train parts with him and we really enjoyed seeing them. He even brought us a whole jar of coal so we could see what is used in the fire on a steam train. We each got to take a piece of coal home and Robert has left us lots of other things to play with and a fantastic train book. In writing this week we all wrote thank you cards. We worked especially hard to make them really good to say a big thank you for coming to see us.
In numeracy we are continuing with numbers to 20, learning about he words ‘larger’, ‘smaller’, ‘largest’ and ‘smallest’ as we discuss and identify the numbers. In outer maths on Thursday we were learning about positional language – on top, underneath, beside, in front, in between, above, below, and many more!
For PE this week we did some yoga in the classroom. We did a whole class lesson where everyone followed the pose that Mrs Kennedy showed them then we moved around the room looking at different cards and copied the pose on the card. We had to try to hold the positions and think about breathing deeply as we did them. It was good fun and much harder than we thought it would be!
Our bike shop is up and running! Thank you very much for the donations of spare parts, the children are loving it!
On Friday morning we had some quiet reading time, some of us wanted to read on our own and some with a partner. It was nice to choose any book we liked and take time to look at it.
On a recent trip, F visited Chinatown in Liverpool. He was very lucky to see a Chinese New Year parade. He brought in lots of photographs and his very own Chinese dragon to show us. Thank you!
A was on a skiing holiday recently and she got a certificate and medal for her fantastic skiing. We thought she’d maybe been in the Winter Olympics!
Have a lovely weekend.
P1B and Mrs Kennedy
