It is officially the first week of December! In P2A we have been very busy practising our Nativity and having fun using our class advent calendar each day. We are counting the sleeps until Santa comes!
In Literacy we have all been learning new sounds: ‘sn’, ‘sp’, ‘fl’ and ‘gl’ this week. We have enjoyed using the magnetic boards to spell our words and like to show children in the class what we have created. Some of us created our own small stories with the ‘sn’ sound. We were able to use more than one ‘sn’ word in a sentence sometimes. Miss Muir was really impressed and some of them even made Miss Muir laugh as well. In small groups we thought of as many ‘sp’ words as we could think of using whiteboards. We thought of lots and lots. You can see in our photos below!
In Numeracy and Mathematics we have been recalling our number facts for numbers between 13 and 19 this week. We have used Christmas objects on the board to help us with this. We enjoy counting them as a class. Some of us have even been solving number facts for numbers between 30 and 80. Lots of us have been having a go at creating our own number facts and creating number fact mind maps during free play. We have also been challenged to try out each other’s number fact questions. Miss Muir has also been creating Christmas number fact problem solving questions to help us with our learning.
We have also had our Christmas lunch. We got to wear our Christmas jumpers and eat lots of food! The hall had a massive Christmas tree with lights and had Christmas music playing. We were completely stuffed after all the food we ate and could have went for a nap in the afternoon!
We can’t wait to show you ‘Lights, Camel, Action’ next week in the church. We love our costumes and can’t get the songs out of our heads! We have been practising really hard over the past few weeks and are looking forward to showing you it.
We hope you have an enjoyable weekend.
P2A and Miss Muir 🙂
