Happy New Year to all our friends and family! It’s been a busy start to the year and P1R got straight back to business this week with lots of learning.
The focus of the week was Vision and Values.We spent time looking at our school vision statement and values in the classroom and what it meant to us. We discussed that we should try to be like Jesus when we are at school and here are some of the children’s thoughts:
We should work hard-Dexter
Be kind-Brooke
Make friends and play together-Amber
Pray together-Ephraim
Share with one another-Klaudia
Have good manners-Lucy
Respect everyone in our school-Dexter
We then decided to look at our class charter and refresh this for the New Year, we chose a pirate theme.
In literacy we had some revision of all the sounds we know and spent time wordbuilding. Next week we will move onto ee and oo.
In maths we finished off our addition topic by learning the number bonds for 10. We watched a news flash to help us and also watched a video about rainbow facts which helped us remember the linking number facts for 10. We also had another go at missing number facts using the number line to help us.
IDL was exciting as we found a message in a bottle, a pirate hat and a pirate eye patch. The letter was from Pirate Pete Pigeon asking us to join him on the Squeaky Sail for some pirate adventures. We’re really excited about this. We used our talking book and visible plan to think of ideas for our adventures. Over the coming weeks we are hoping to transform our classroom and area with some pirate props.
