P1 Rm2 miss kaniewska

In P1 Room 2 we are working very hard as one team! Our day starts with the whole class greeting, Ms Kaniewska always waits for everyone to be ready, have their shoes changed and jackets on their pegs. Then we order our lunches, soon after it’s time to play!

We have many different areas to choose from like construction, role play area, sensory area, funky fingers activities, numeracy area, phonics and reading corner where we have plenty activities to pick from to practise our words.  Once we hear the tambourine, we know it is time for tidy up, we make sure all areas are super clean before the timer gets to zero. Once our classroom is tidy, we are ready to learn! Next, we make the calendar, revise our days of the week, discuss the weather, and look at the daily timetable.  We learn on the carpet as the whole class and next we are off to complete various tasks and some of them involve learning through play experiences.

Every week Ms Kaniewska sets up new Rainbow Challenges which help us practise our knowledge on the sounds and numbers already learnt.  Throughout the week, each one of us is trying to collect lollipop sticks for completing these challenges. At the end of every week, Miss Kaniewska chooses her Rainbow Challenge Champions. In addition, each one of us is collecting stickers to build an individual rainbow for making good choices, helping in tidying up, showing kindness to others and putting extra effort in our learning practice.

We have a chance to take on different responsibilities as Ms Kaniewska chooses new people every week to fulfil very important classroom jobs. We have various displays in our classroom that help us learn and remind us about the class rules. We follow our Listening Ladder which reminds us to sit calmly, look at the person that is talking and take turns when we speak. As a whole class we work very hard to practise our oracy skills. We are learning to follow the school and class rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe and we have a chance to get house points if we are spotted showing a good example. What is more, when Ms Kaniewska can see that the whole class is trying their best, she puts googly eyes in the class reward jar. Our class target is to sit still and quietly on the carpet.

We have been learning about our rights and how important these are to us. We have created our class charter and have chosen to focus on the following articles in our class:

• Article 24 – we have the right to healthy food,
• Article 28 – we have the right to learn,
• Article 31 – we have the right to play.

We are enjoying getting to work with Mr Wright for PE lessons and we know why it is so important to stay fit and healthy. We are looking forward to becoming more fluent in our digital skills with Mrs Watt.

Days in P1 Room 2 pass very quickly, at the end of the day we organise ourselves to go home and while waiting for our mummies and daddies to arrive we enjoy watching various tv programmes, like Numberblocks, Colourblocks and Alphablocks!
