Star of the week is Dominic for outstanding engagement during phonics.Well done Dominic!

Have a lovely half term 1B.You have all worked really hard. Have lot’s of fun and we’ll see you in a week.

Today 1B have smashed our very own pieces of moon rock. This links in with our story whatever next for when they land on the moon. It also helps with our hand eye coordination when holding objects.

We are sounding out the letter B In phonics this week. We each took a turn to sound out the B sound which was represented in the picture and then matched them to the picture board.

1B have been using picture boards to help us choose what we would like to eat. Today we chose from apples,oranges and breadsticks. Everybody was fantastic in pointing to the picture of what they wanted.

We are learning about full and empty in 1B. We took turns to fill a bucket full of sand and then said “full” we then emptied the bucket and said”empty”

Oliver is star of the week for his fantastic engagement during phonics. Well done Oliver.

Today in 1B we have made our own rocket ship painting. We are reading the story whatever next and we love counting down from 5 to 1 then saying blast off!
We enjoyed trying to recognise the shapes we were printing.

Today during are, we continued our theme of using different materials to see what kind of patterns we could make using paint. Today we used cotton wool buds to create our pictures.

Today in 1B we played follow the leader.  This is where an adult played with playdough by rolling it,pressing it and squeezing it. Our mission was to follow the instructions given by the adult which we all did so well.

Our star of the week is Cleo for joining in our story and counting down from 5 to 1

We are learning about the letter U in phonics this week. We got our umbrella out and practiced saying U is for Umbrella. Up goes the umbrella. We even got the water out to cool us down while standing under the umbrella
