Start to the week in Class One Everyone in Class One has had a lovely day so far! The children have been busy doing Letters and Sounds activities (lots of letter recognition activities and even a spelling quiz for the Year 1’s). They have also been very busy baking Gingerbread people. The children enjoyed helping to get all of the ingredients ready and mixing them altogether. Some children volunteered to show photos of their family and talk about who is in their family. At the same time, some children enjoyed learning their numbers through a game called ‘Run, run as fast as you can’ relating to the Gingerbread man story. The Year 1 children worked with myself during assembly time this morning to explore a set of instructions for baking Gingerbread people. The children needed to work together to decide upon the correct order of the instructions and used their Letters and Sounds knowledge to read the instructions carefully. This afternoon, we are looking forward to PE in the hall – the children will be exploring different ways of moving in and out of each other and being careful not to bump into each other. We will also be getting out mats for the children to move in and out of. The children were hoping to bring their gingerbread people home tonight but these will be home tomorrow – once we have had time to decorate them!
