p1/2 – last week!

Some of the p1s listened to a description of a dinosaur adventure and had to draw what they had picture in their mind. Next week, we are going to use our pictures as a plan for writing about a dinosaur adventure.

We read the Gruffalo’s child with our new puppets and p1s had to write about our favourite part of the story giving a reason why and p2s had to sort some words in adjectives, nouns and verbs.

In PE we were learning about how to catch rugby balls.

In topic we were measuring the length of different dinosaurs in the playground and found out that different dinosaurs were different sizes.

In topic we also designed our own dinosaurs using our knowledge of how big real dinosaurs were and using our imagination to name our dinosaur. Our dinosaurs were called Gruffalosaurus, Pettyssaurus, Weirdosaurus, Spikeosaurus, Brownosaurus, Bad Rex and Everysaurus.

In maths some of the p1s were using there adding skills to buy toys from Miss Bredin’s toyshop. We need to do this so we know how much money to give the shopkeeper when we are buying things.

P2s have been learning about tens and units in maths. They had to look at a number and use cubes to work out how many tens and how many units in a number.

Eco Committee need your help!

The Eco Committee (with the help of parent Helper Miss Louise Reid)  are hoping to develop the garden and courtyard to create outdoor learning environments that can be enjoyed by all. On the minutes (follow the Eco Committee tab at the top of the blog), you can see the ideas they have come up with so far. You will receive flyers soon telling you more, but please get in touch if there is anything you know you can help with.

Our week in p1/2

As always we have had a very busy week. Here is what the boyus and girls hvae remembered learning.

We have been learning about what the land looked like when dinosaurs were around and with a partner we created a picture of this land using different materials – pencil, pen, paint and different papers. Lewis

In art, we have been making dinosaur skeletons from art straws. Maris

In maths some of us were using the Ipads to practise adding numbers together. We were trying to get as many right as we could. Kaila

Others have been using computers to add to 20 or 10. Ruby

Some of us have been learning about how we would keep ourselves safe if we went on a dinosaur adventure. We had to decide what to pack in our backpacks. Next week in writing, we are going to go on our dinosaur adventure and write all about it. Adam

In writing, some of us made our own pancakes and had to write instructions to do this. Kaila

We have also been learning to write sentences which make sense by filling in the missing word. Callum

Today, for world book day we have been finding Wally’s around the school and playground as a house competition. Tom

This morning, we read The Gruffalo together because it is Miss Bredin’s favourite book. We did 4 activities to do with the Gruffalo story:

  1. We acted out the story using our new Gruffal puppets. Oliver
  2. We drew our favourite part of the story. Christopher
  3. We completed a true and false quiz about the story with a group. Stephen
  4. We worked as a group to describe the Gruffalo and the mouse. Luca

We are looking forward to sharing our favourite book with others this afternoon.
