Welcome back to our first Week in Review of 2022!

Firstly to confirm the change to our P.E. timetable – we are now having P.E. on Mondays and Tuesdays.

We have been looking at ordering and sequences in our Maths and Numeracy work this week having reviewed some of our mental agility work for number recognition from last term. We enjoyed looking at this ordering game on Topmarks during the week and we were keen to try this game with ordering and sequencing at home.

In our sounds work we have been looking at the oo (as in zoo) and oo (as in book) patterns. We also started to look at fairy tales and thought about some of our favourite fairy tale stories this week! We wrote and draw some short summaries of these.

We looked a little at New Year and thought about resolutions last week and we continue to look at some of the festivals people celebrate for different new year festivities. This week we looked at Rosh Hashanah as part of our Judaism focus and we will continue to review other celebrations too! We used the theme of eating sweet things during Rosh Hashanah to create some pomegranate art using oil pastels and paint.

Have a look at some of our work below!

A big well done and congratulations to our

Freddy

for being a Successful Learner and his efforts in his literacy, always applying himself to his work and trying to be responsible in class.

Lastly, we have started to look at the Solar System as part of our Space topic. We were looking over the 8 planets of our Solar System and P2 enjoyed this song about them.

Have a lovely weekend and remember to have fun!

As we finish up for the term we wish you all a wonderful holiday!

We have been busy with our class party, meeting up with our buddies, hearing ‘The Stick Man‘ in Spanish and creating art this week! We had a special visitor during our class party on Monday too as Santa came to visit and give out some gifts! Primary 2 had asked for some more playtime and we enjoyed extra time in the playpark on Thursday alongside chasing bubbles.

We were practising some Christmas songs too this week – Jingle Bells and We Wish You A Merry Christmas. The versions we practised are linked above and below you can hear us!

Have a lovely holiday all and we look forward to seeing you in January!
