January

Our new topic is all about ‘Moving Things’ 🚗 ✈️ As part of this topic we will be learning about forces and magnetism. 

We have been using Scratch to create animations

Children’s Mental Health Week

P1 have been exploring lots of different emotions and talked about the different way to display our emotions and how we feel. We had fun today using play dough to create different emotions. 

Melting and Freezing 🧊

Today’s challenge was figure out how to melt the ice and realise the stickers hiding inside. P1 tried lots of different ways to melt the ice. We used salt, we tried blowing on the ice, holding the ice in our hands, banging the ice, hammering the ice and wrapping the ice in paper towels. 

🧧 Chinese New Year 🏮

Weight

2D shapes

We identified the 2D shapes which make up 3D objects. We discussed the difference between 2D and 3D shapes. P1 completed a challenge to build a tower without it collapsing. We talked about the best shapes to use and why. 

Number 10- We used a defining frame to show different ways to make 10

Exploring heavy and light

Using a connecting frame to identify ‘one more’

Making vehicles with junk art 🚗 🚤

P1 have been exploring using different forces to mark make during play. We pushed and pulled toothbrushes, rolling pins and sponges to make designs and patterns.

P1 continued to used forces to mould plasticine and clay. We made pinch pots and plasticine vehicles and animals

Using a slinky to help us blend our sounds together! This is helping us stretch out our words and then bring all the sounds together to read new, unfamiliar words.

We have been exploring the language longer than and shorter than. P1 built vehicles using different construction materials. We used photographs of our vehicles to find objects longer and shorter than our vehicles

We’ve been working on our estimation skills. We played a fun game with our partner!

Ordinal number activity using a train baseboard. We listened to the instruction and put the teddy bear on the correct train carriage 🚂

We used a categorising frame to identify what was the best mode of transport to get to different places. We considered places close to us and places very far away. We had lots of fun looking at the world map and a local map to help 🌍 🗺

Charcoal drawings of old vehicles 🚗

We enjoyed making our key words in play dough

We’ve made lots of fun making moving vehicles this week in play.

Car Shop - P1 used their imagination to go to the car shop and counted the correct number of 1p coins to pay for each car.

Our friend Aria is visiting her family in Brazil. We were very interested in where Brazil was on our globe and decided to get the map out during PBL to explore where other countries we were. We had lots of fun talking about where we had been on holidays before!

Number Rotations

Using a whole part frame to partition our new number 8

We have been learning about the number 8. We designed our own alien with 8 eyes and octopus with 8 legs.
