This week we were learning the number names to 20. We played number names bingo, matched the number names to the numerals, practised writing the number words, made a number names graffiti wall and made the number names with our play dough. We also played ‘Teddy Numbers’ on our new Promethean board and matched number names to numerals in our workbooks.
This week we started to learn about money. We looked at all the coins up to £2. We played ‘Dino Day Out’ on Education City, sorted coins into the correct money amounts, played coin bingo and cut out coins and matched them to the correct amount.
This week our new sound was ‘ew’. We made ‘ew’ words on our magnetic boards, made ‘ew’ words with play dough, practised writing ‘ew’ words on our whiteboards, wrote ‘oo’ and ‘ew’ sentences in our literacy jotters and played ‘Matthew’s Stew’ on Education City.
On Thursday we took part in our whole school litter pick. We worked in teams to look for any litter in our school grounds and we used litter picks and bags to collect the litter. We made sure that we washed our hands afterwards and Miss Harrison even made us use hand gel!
This week we have been learning about life cycles as part of our P1 Health and Wellbeing ‘Relationships’ trail. We looked at the life cycle of a frog. We cut out pictures to make our own frog life cycle diagrams and we wrote a sentence about the life cycle underneath. We also played ‘Roll, Say, Colour’ using the frog life cycle, coloured and labelled a diagram and played a frog life cycle game on the Promethean board. On Thursday, we looked at the human life cycle. We drew pictures of what we look like now then we drew pictures of what we think we will look like as an adult and as an elderly person! We also talked about the basic needs of a baby.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A , Miss Harrison and Miss Hardie 🙂
