Class One children have been working very hard today. This morning we spent time exploring symmetry using many different resources and equipment. We watched a programme all about symmetry on the BBC website. Here’s the link:

We spent time learning about two syllable words in Letters and Sounds. Some children also looked at the alternative ‘y’ sounds (as in fry, cry, sky) as opposed to the ‘y’ sound in ‘happy’ or ‘funny’.
The children then spent time using different resources and equipment to practice their handwriting and letter formation.
Here are some photos of this:

This afternoon we explored an application on the iPads called ‘Scratch’. This is a child friendly programming application. More information can be found here : http://www.scratchjr.org/ and there is more information and photos on the photo sheet here:

The children have also spent time in child initiated areas, reading and working with maths and literacy resources independently.
