So proud of everyone in P1B today! You all did a fantastic job during our assembly , it is not easy standing up in front of such a large audience and Mrs Kennedy was very impressed with how well we did and how confident we were 🙂
As well as practising our school value of ‘confidence’ during our assembly, we have also been practising another important school value – ‘resilience.’ We had some tricky tasks to do and we had to think about how resilient we were when we did them – did we keep trying although it was hard? Did we try again when it didn’t work the first or second time? We had a tick sheet to mark down how we thought we got on in each task. We also liked the story of ‘Jack and the Flum Flum Tree’ where Jack’s motto is ‘Don’t get your knickers in a twist!’ when is faced with a problem, he just tries to look for a solution.
In maths this week we have been looking at quite a tricky concept – linking addition and subtraction facts. We used the large ten frame and looked at the spots to make sums. In these pictures we were writing all the addition and subtraction sums for 2 and 3: 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5-3=2 and 5-2=3. We tried it for other numbers too. In our workbooks we were doing addition and subtraction sums on the same page and had to be careful to look at the sign to see if it was ‘+’ or ‘-‘.
T and E brought in a wasps nest this week that they found at their house. They told us all about it and the children were very interested, asking lots of questions.
A and her big sister, R, both got swimming certificates this week. Well done girls, you are both excellent swimmers.
It was lovely to see you all at assembly. Enjoy the weekend. P1B and Mrs Kennedy
