A P1 Week

P1s have been working hard this week writing numbers and practising letter formation on whiteboards.


We always have fun on a Wednesday when Ricky comes to teach us different games. This week we were outside and inside playing games! 

P1 Worry Dolls

P1 read the story,  ‘ Silly Billy,’ we discussed things we worry about and made worry dolls to share our worries with. The children worked very hard using lots of different colours and we talked about ways that help us stop worrying.

P1 Conkers Autumn


P1 have been using conkers to count with and put them in order from smallest to largest.

We went on a Autumn walk in our playground and found different kinds of leaves, berries, apples and made shadows on the ground and we saw Mrs Smith’s rabbits!

We made print patterns with potatoes and have a lovely display of them in the corridor outside our classroom.
