P1M our week in pictures:
We began our new numeracy play focus this week. Here are our different tasks to complete over the next 2 weeks.
Red: Addition station – building on our addition skills using a range of different resources and games.
Blue: Car small world – we have to drive the cars through the bridges in the correct order. We know to start at bridge 0 and then drive to bridge 1, then bridge 2 etc.
Yellow: Counting station – we are working on our counting skills through lots of play based activities – dot to dots, matching tasks etc.
Purple: Technology station – developing our knowledge of numbers and addition through using the smart board and the ipads. We love the post sorting game on top marks. Why don’t you try this at home?
Orange: The sand tray – big making sand shapes, small shapes, using different sized cups for measuring etc.
Green: The shop – we buy different shapes with money and use the shapes to build different sized towers.
Ernie the Elf visited our classroom with a letter this week. Ask your child what this letter was asking us to do. We wrote back to Ernie. Miss Meechan was very impressed with our writing skills – we all remember where we write the address in a letter.
We are continuing to develop our knowledge of addition through using numicon. We love using this resource in class.
We have learning about how to use page numbers in a story book to help us find our place when reading. This week we worked with a partner to make our own books called ‘The Snowman’. We read the book ‘The Snowman’ on the oxford owl website. Have you used this website at home yet?
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Meechan
Oh my goodness, there’s so much going on in your class. Your play activities sound great, I was really impressed when I was in your classroom this week with the amount of work you are doing and learning through play.
How exciting that Ernie the elf popped in to give you a letter, I hope he is well behaved! We will need to keep an eye on him.
The snowman is a wonderful book! One of my favourites, that’s great that you could use the Oxford owl website to read it! Keep it up P1M.
