A short but busy week in P1B. We have all been very happy to be back to school after the school holiday and have had lots of lovely stories to share with our friends.
For Maths this week we have been ordering numbers on a number line and have been using number lines to find numbers before and after to help us to find missing numbers. We were particularly good with numbers after. Our teachers have been very impressed with our number line homework on Seesaw. If you haven’t yet been on to try Seesaw, have a look and see some fun tasks.
This week in Literacy we have been learning all about the initial sound ‘t’. We had fun exploring with ‘torches’ and designed new school ‘ties’. We practised writing all our learned sounds and started to blend the sounds together to make CVC words. Mrs Meikle was amazed how good we were and gave us a tricky sentence to try to write and we all managed it!! We are all very proud of ourselves.
Our book of the week was ‘The Tiger who Came to Tea’. We enjoyed listening to the story and discussing what happened at the beginning, middle and end. Our book talk focus was about characters, so we looked at the tiger and came up with fantastic adjectives to describe his colour, size and texture. We made fantastic tiger crafts, had a tea party with the play food and wrote amazing sentences about what the tiger looked like. One of the highlights of the week was finding out that the tiger popped into our classroom for a visit, but he ate all the food from our tea party.
We had a big discussion about how we think the tiger got into our classroom and why he came to visit. Addison thinks he must know the pass code to get into school. Georgia thinks he used his paws to open the door and Amelia thinks someone left a window open. Anthony thinks he must have been able to smell the food. Matthias thinks he must have been really hungry and Alex thinks he liked the ice cream best.
We also learned some more about emotions this week and for outdoor learning we used natural materials in the woods to make emotion faces.
