A short (busy) week…

Although it has been a short week this week we have still managed to get lots done!

We had a fantastic day outside on Thursday, working together with P1/2 and the ELCC to develop our outdoor space. We showed excellent teamwork and determination to get the job finished!

Some of us were helping to build a wood store which required lots of hammering!

We also built a ‘tyre mountain’ structure with a slide. First of all we had to work together to move the tyres into the garden and get them in position. Then we had to move lots and lots of bark which we used to fill the tyres.

This took us most of the morning but it was worth it! The finished structure is fantastic! We even finished in time to have a little play on it! 😃 Teamwork definitely makes the dream work!

In the afternoon we worked with our buddies to create some videos using a video App. This involved mixing different backgrounds, videos and sound files to create our own video clips. It was lots of fun and we can’t wait to continue to work on the videos next week. 🎬😃

Today we have been very busy bees!

We started off by learning our new sound ‘oo’. We listened to a story, learnt the song and had a go at writing some oo words on the smartboard.

We then practised the sound by doing a variety of activities. These included finding and highlighting oo words, writing oo words and making oo words using Cheerios and magnetic letters.

After learning our new sound we were did some story writing. We now know the ‘Cecil was a Spider’ text really well so we are having a go at changing the story by adding some of our own ideas. Today we were creating some story maps of our ideas and next week we will practise telling our stories.

This group of children made up a wonderful story about Skye the Horse who was eating lots of apples! They did a wonderful job of creating a story map before telling it to the rest of the class.

This afternoon we were doing some French. We were answering questions including what is your name and how are you? The children have made great progress and are becoming very confident at this. We then continued learning how to say different colours and had a go at singing the song ‘Sing a Rainbow’ in French. 🌈 We also learnt about the French festival Mardi Gras and made our own masks inspired by the carnival. Why not ask us what colour our masks are and see if we can answer in French?

Phew…. we finished just in time for the bell…..and all that in only 2 days! 😉

Have a great weekend everyone and see you on Monday. Don’t forget your baby photos! 😀
