A short week but lots of great learning in P1B.

We learned the word ending ‘ing’ and worked on building ‘ing’ words using magnetic letters. We read a great story called ‘Polly Parrot Picks a Pirate’ and used what we knew about parrots to write an informative report. We also learned the directions forward, backward, left and right to follow a pirate map to find treasure. Ask us how we remember which way is left. We particularly enjoyed using our learning to code a Beebot to move from A to B. We continued our learning of number words and ordinal numbers.

Today, we listened to the parable ‘The Good Samaritan’ and discussed things we do to help people at home. We drew around both our hands and drew a picture of something we already do to help and something we are going to start to do to help.

p1B have enjoyed lots of learning through play during activities/tasks: Lewis and Emily-Ann had fun playing a game of schools; Aaron and TJ spent much of the time building marble runs and junk models; Evana, Amy and Ciara loved painting pictures; Sofia, Georgia-Rose and Olivia drew some beautiful pictures; and Ishaan, Maja and Amariah-Grace enjoyed our role play area.
