We're going on a Bear Hunt

Over the past few weeks in P1, we have been reading the story, 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen. We have been enjoying completing a wide range of activities based on the story. Today we recieved a letter from the Bear, who wanted to play, 'Hide and Seek' with P1. We followed the clues he left and went on a Bear Hunt to see if we could find him. We couldn't believe our eyes when we found him, having lots of fun in our Outdoor area. We weren't scared!!

Amazing Measures

In numeracy, we have been looking at Measures. We have been exploring weight, length and capacity. The children have enjoyed experimenting with and measuring various items from around our classroom. P1 are amazing at measuring and had lots of fun!!

We are identifying changes in our weather, our outdoor area and learning about animals we see at this time of the year.
