It was lovely to be back at school after the October holidays. We started our week by sharing news about our adventures during the holidays. Everyone was very busy! We even managed to write a sentence about our travels using a capital letter, full stop and finger spaces, wow!
Our new sounds for this week were “g” and “f”. We have been making lots of words using our new sounds on our magnetic boards.
In numeracy we started work on addition within 10. We talked about addition being how many altogether. The children will enjoy practising this at home by adding things together around the house.
We did some outdoor learning this week. We were learning all about hibernation. We started by doing an autumn hunt outdoors and found lots of lovely autumn leaves. We learnt about what hibernation is, which animals hibernate and why they do. We made some hedgehogs using our leaves and some puppets of hibernating animals.
In French we revised our colours with Camembear, we had to spot the colours in his photo album.
In Health and Wellbeing we talked about being different and that it is normal to like different things. Everyone agreed it is more interesting when we like different things.
This term we have music with our specialist Mrs Bain. The children really enjoyed playing instruments like tambours and tambourines.
Today we got some very exciting news as we won “Peg Bear” for walking quietly around the school. We also won Class of the Week for our fantastic behaviour and learning, this meant we got extra break time which was very exciting!
Happy weekend Mrs Gordon and P1a
