We were very excited to return to school this week and bring with us signs of autumn that we had found. We put them all in a tuff tray so that we could play with them. P made a magnificent sculpture with her dad, we made this our centrepiece. We also went our gathering leaves and looking for signs of autumn so that we can make some art next week. This term our IDL/book focus (alongside our continuing Fairyland focus) will be hedgehogs. We will be exploring hibernation and stories about hedgehogs, we will also attempt to make some hedgehogs…
In literacy we learnt 2 new sounds d and o. We are finding d quite tricky to write, but we do find it funny to remember the rhyme for writing it… round the dinosaur’s bottom up his tall neck and down to his toes. We are going to keep practising lots.
In maths this week we focused on more and less, then one more and one less. The language of mathematics can be tricky and some people were finding it difficult to remember which was more and which was less. Again lots of practise at home please eg what is 1 more than 6, what is 1 less than 9 etc. We also looked at a new topic – time. Our focus was on knowing the days of the week, being able to order and recognise them. Most of us were managing this very well and we love to sing our days of the week song each day, ask us to sing it to you!
In French we learnt please and thank you. S’il te plait and merci. Everyone managed to ask Camembear for an object and thank him politely.
In IDL we learnt about the components of a castle ready to make our own one in the classroom next week. We then drew our designs and had great fun drawing dungeons, turrets, portcullis and moats…we especially loved talking about the baddies as you can see from our comments here…
Don’t forget to have a look at our learners journey online as Mrs Gordon has uploaded photos and comments to show our progress, of which we are very proud!
Bon weekend, Mrs Gordon and P1a
