P1/2
Visiting the Doctor and the Dentist
The P1/2 children are enjoying the start of their new topic 'People Who Help Us'. For the last two weeks we have been focusing on Healthcare workers such as Doctors, Nurses and Dentists. Here they are in playtime enjoying the different activities.
Letter c
Here are some of our P1 children practising how to write the new sound 'c' we have been learning this week. Some of the children were using pastel crayons and black paper and some were writing in the paint on the table. Well done P1 - we certainly know how to write that letter c!
Gingerbread Men
As part of our World Around Us topic 'Fairytales', one of the stories we focused on was 'The Gingerbread Man'. The children enjoyed making Gingerbread Men in class. We had to weigh out and sieve the ingredients, mix everything into a dough, roll out the dough and cut out the Gingerbread Men. Thankfully when we cooked them none of them ran off on us like the story!
Floating and Sinking
This week as part of our World Around Us topic, we were learning about floating and sinking. The children really enjoyed our experiment where we had to make a prediction if an object was going to float and sink. They enjoyed watching the item go into the water and seeing if their prediction was right or wrong.
Letter t and the number 4
This week our focus has been on the 't' sound. The children have been discovering what things begin with our 't' sound. They have been learning to write their new letter in lots of different ways. Some of the children were also focusing on the number 4. Here are some pictures of how they have been learning.
The Three Little Pigs' Houses
As part of our World Around Us topic of Fairy tales, we have been focusing on the story of The Three Little Pigs. The children in P1/2 were experimenting with straw, sticks and bricks to see which were the best for building a house. The Big Bad Wolf aka Mrs Hunter came along and was able to blow down the straw and stick house. The brick house stood firm until the table got knocked and the house fell down! We then went out to look at the outside of our classroom and discovered that when it was built, the builders overlapped the brick. We tried to do that with our bricks and the house was much stronger now.
Learning how to write the letter a and the number 3
This week the children in P1 were learning all about the 'a' sound. We were finding things that began with the sound and sorting them. We then learnt how to write the sound and practised ourselves using different methods. The children were also learning about the number 3 and were busy writing their 3's.
FIRST WEEK IN P1/2
What a busy week we have had in P1 this week. It was lovely to welcome in 14 new P1 children to our class. They have been amazing, quickly settling into school and the hustle and bustle of a busy classroom. Here are some photos of them busy at play this week along with some of our P2 children.
