For writing this week we wrote about our experience of seeing fireworks. We used our mighty writer board for the first time.

 

We were able to use our mighty writer board to help us structure a sentence. It showed us where to put our capital letter and it had picture reminders for what to write.

 

Khyla- “ I wrote about sparkly fireworks.”
Isla- “The star on the board meant you had to use a wow word.”

Ethan- “I wrote about the loud fireworks.”

Emilie- “I wrote about colourful, rainbow fireworks.”

Numeracy

We continued to learn how to add numbers this week. We have been completing written calculations. We have been counting on and trying to do this in our heads.

We enjoyed reading the number sentences and then using the numicon to identify the total amount.

 

We also completed addition challenges using the cubes this week. We had to read the cards and add the correct number of cubes together.

We have been using our ten frames to add 2 amounts within 10.

 

In number talks using our addition knowledge we have been finding the best strategies to make a total.

Can you find different ways to make 3?

Can you find different ways to make 4?

Can you find different ways to make 5?

Can you find different ways to make 6?

 

We used our bunny ears (fingers) to show Miss Boyes different ways of making an amount.

 

We have started practising for our nativity, this week we have been learning about the nativity story. We have been learning who was in the story, where it took place and what happened.

In music  we have started practising our nativity songs. We are loving our songs and are going to practise lots.

 

 

Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P1B
