Week Beginning 13.1.20

P1B highlights:

Reyansh – “Popping bubbles and hitting the balloons in the air was fun.” We welcome our new pupil Reyansh to our St John Ogilvie family and hope he is very happy here and settles in well.  The children were learning about the sound ‘b’ this week.  Each time they popped a bubble they had to say the ‘b’ sound.  We then had a balloon party just for the fun of it!  (Thank you Mrs Lafferty for supplying the balloons!)

Freya – “I liked making boats using 2D shapes.”  The boys and girls have been learning to recognise 2D shapes and their proprieties this week.  We then made boats (linking our phonics) using these shapes.  We could draw them freely, draw around shape templates our use our cutting skills and cut shapes out (or a combination of all).

Matteo – “I liked using sticks in the woods to do our sums.”  On Thursday when we were in the woodlands, we took up some dice, white boards and markers.  We rolled the dice and using natural materials, created sums.  Unfortunately the rain started and began to rub out our create work so we had to abandon this activity and move on to our free play.

Jonah – “Designing dens was good.”  This week P1B have been learning about what it means to be safe.  The children had so many ideas and we put them into a spider diagram.  Next we went into groups and designed dens (cosy and makes us feel safe inside) and presented our ideas to the class.  Great teamwork P1B!

Mrs Devlin’s Highlight – My highlight has to be linked to Jonahs.  The children worked well together and included their groups’ ideas.  We had bunting, plant pots, pillows, ladders and all sorts of imaginative features in our dens.  I was impressed how the children encouraged one another when presenting back to the class.
