P1D Weekly News

Here is what we have enjoyed doing this week:

Luke: I liked the squirrel game because the squirrel pops out. I was playing it with Logan and Mara and Logan made the squirrel pop out.

Roma: At the investigation station you got marshmallows and you made a constellation with them. It’s a shape that stars make. I called my constellation ‘star’.

Anna: I counted to 28 in 2’s at the numeracy station.

We watched this counting in 2’s video to help us:

Jane: I was playing with slime in the tuff tray. There was purple slime and blue slime. It felt slimy.

Michelle: At the fiddly fingers I was swirling the pipe cleaner around the sticks. I made a snake with it.

Pati: At the blue rainbow learning I was counting on in 2’s on the smart board. I bet Mrs Davenport’s score.

Here is the link for the game we were playing:

Amelia: At the green rainbow learning I need to read the sentence and when we read the sentence you draw the picture.

Shea: At the red rainbow learning you had to make 10 sounds with the pipe cleaners. I made the ‘n’ and ‘b’ sound.

Lucas: At the purple rainbow learning you had to draw lines on the rocket. I drew squiggly lines, dotty lines, spiraly lines an dotty lines.

Try this at home, it is trickier than you think. Find a picture but don’t colour it in – only use lines to fill the design. What other types of lines can you think of to use?

Freya: At the yellow rainbow learning you had to fill in the missing numbers when counting in 2’s like 2, 4, 6, 8.

Carter: I liked my reading book this week. It was called ‘In the Garden’. They were playing in the garden and then Kipper had the key and it was starting to glow and they had an adventure in the garden because that takes them on an adventure wasn’t there. They tried to get there but it was too late.

Rojin: We saw P6 and P7 doing their show. We got to actually see what happened to Jesus. I liked the good Samaritan part of the show.

Logan: We made an alien story on mighty writer. The alien went on a rocket to Earth. Then he went back on his rocket and went back to his planet and put a flag on it.

Can you remember what happened in your alien story?

Paul: In the 20 green bottles song, if 1 fell there would be 19 left then another 1 fell and there would 18. It went all the way down to 0.

We listened to the 10 green bottles song below, and then to make it a bit more challenging we thought about what would happen if there were 20 green bottles! Here is the song we used to begin with:

Layla: Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon.

Mara: We learned about Easter in Spain. There are lots of eggs. We saw videos of people carrying something heavy. Here is one of the videos we watched about the Easter procession:

Igor: We went on an egg hunt in the nursery and we need to find the egg. Then we eat it. It was chocolate and yummy.

Cordelle: I made a symmetrical picture with peg boards. That means it’s the same on both sides.

Have a lovely Easter break with your families.
