Here is a round up of the last few weeks!
Soft start
Literacy
Last week the P1s practised all the sounds they have learned so far. This week they learned c/k and e while the P2s learned ‘ng’. They thought of lots of ‘ng’ words!
Summary of ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’
Numeracy
Lots more work on addition and subtraction these last few weeks as well as number sequences and place value.
Topic
We worked with p1 to create all the characters from ‘The Gruffalo’. It was nice to mix the children up and everyone worked really well together, choosing different materials to create their character.
Values
As you know Drakies is working on creating new values. Mr Mackenzie sent a list of values for the children to discuss. They went off into groups and discussed which values they felt were most important for Drakies. We then came back together and noted the values that were common in each group. We narrowed it down to: respect, trust, honesty, positivity, fun, teamwork, kindness and welcoming. Love those! Not sure how Mr Mackenzie will choose!
Outdoor learning
Last week Mrs Owens from nursery made a fire for us and we spent some time around the fire thinking of a risk assessment. Now that we have our rules we intend to do it more often.
This morning some of the children set up the fire themselves and we toasted some marshmallows! Yum yum! Finally we talked about being responsible and putting fires out.
The fire makers!!
