P1 Tigers Reflective Thursday 1st April

We made it! We had an amazing term. It was been a different one as we started learning from home but we were lucky to come back to school and we had a great time learning together.

This is this week’s learning:

Literacy

This week we have been learning three initial blends: fl, gl and pl. Our tricky words were do and as, now we have worked on all the tricky words from block 2. We have sent home a sheet with the words the children could work at home.

For fl we did flying kites. We took our kites outside and they flew!

We also played with flour!

For gl we did glittery glasses.

We played with gloop.

For pl we did plates with pl words.

This week our writing focus has been writing about chicks.

We have continued to work on our reading books at school. We are working on different reading skills not only decoding and blending: fluency, comprehension, inference, making connections, synthetizing, increasing vocabulary, working memory and attention. Remember that this week our reading books will not go home.

RME

We have learned about the Easter Story. We are becoming aware of the importance of celebrations, festivals and customs in Christian people’s lives.

Music

We have been singing outdoors with Charlie. We have also done two online sessions with Sarah from Sing for Smiles.

Outdoor Learning

We have created patterns working in pairs. We used masking tape to create different patterns and colour them in with wet chalk. It was great to see how the children worked together and praised each other.
