What a noise!

We have been thinking about our senses and how they help us to make sense of our new school environment. This week we have been thinking about our ears. We played lots of games on the smartboard where we had to guess the noise of the animal or musical instruments. We then got out the boomwackers and decided to make some noise of our own. We made quiet sounds, loud sounds, high sounds and low sounds. Listen to our Boomwacker Band. Do you like our sound?

Snack Time

It is hard work being in P1 so everyday we stop in the afternoon for ssnack time. We have water and fruit. It gives us a time to recharge our batteries so that we are ready to work.

Getting Ready for School

One of our first books home has been about a little girl called Sam getting ready for school. It was called The Snail. We talked about getting ready for school and then drew black pen pictures of us getting ready. Ms Johnston then wrote a sentence about our pictures. Some of us were able to have a go by ourselves.

We now stay at school all day and enjoy lunchtime in the dining hall. We either have a school dinner or bring a packed lunch. We enjoy getting to spend some time with our friends from P1B. There are lots of grown ups in the dining hall to help us. Having a healthy lunch helps us to work hard and have fun in the afternoon.

There are lots of people in the school to help us. We haven't learned all of their names yet or the different places where they work but we will. We went on a walk around the school to meet some of the people who will help us in P1.

Number 2

We have been thinking about the numbers up to 10. We were thinking about writing and counting in 2's. We read the story 'All Afloat on Noah's Boat' and then drew pictures of the animals that went in 2 by 2.
