This week we have been learning to count in jumps in 10s and 5s. We played games on Education City, found missing numbers in sequences to 100, ordered numbers in the correct order and used our knowledge of counting on in 5s and 10s to connect the dots. Some of us were able to count up beyond 100! We also looked at sorting information into Carroll diagrams and reading and making graphs.
Soon there will be 19 new story books in the world! We have been working really hard to write our own stories using characters and settings which we created ourselves. This week we looked at features of a front cover to help us to design our own front covers for our books. Our titles are fantastic and we put a lot of effort into our illustrations. Next week we will complete our books and before bringing them home, share them with P1B and P1/2.
On Monday Mrs Goddard came to visit us to talk to us about being a doctor. She told us about what she does to help people. Mrs Goddard showed us some of her equipment. We got to use the stethoscope to listen to our hearts, we got our oxygen levels checked and some of us even got our blood pressure monitored! We asked Mrs Goddard lots of questions about being a doctor and learned about how doctors help people in the community.
On Wednesday, we had a mini Sports Day with Mrs Reid in the hall. We took part in different potted sports such as hockey dribbling, football dribbling, hurdles and angels and we even had some races! Hopefully the rain will stay off and we’ll be able to take part in a whole school Sports Day next Wednesday!
Today we attended the P7 Leaver’s Assembly. The P7’s did a fantastic job of sharing their Springfield memories with us through music and drama. At the end of the assembly, we surprised the P7’s with videos from each of us to our buddies! We would like to thank the P7’s for being such wonderful and friendly buddies and for helping us settle into P1. We wish you all the best of luck in S1!
Thank you for reading our blog post and we hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
