Good afternoon P1B!
Literacy
This week, we started our focus with initial consonant blends, looking at words starting with gr and tr. For gr, we pretend to be a bear or tiger and go “grrrr!” Mrs Cross brought in her trumpet for tr, and we found out all about how it works and also looked at other brass instruments.We practised writing words that start with those sounds and tried some of them for our dictation. We had another new reading book, and I hope you enjoy hearing your child’s learning from the week!
This week, we also continued our Block 2 tricky words with ‘as and ‘into’. When you have time at home, please practise reading and writing all the tricky words we have covered so far.
Maths and numeracy
This week during our Maths time, we individually completed our Maths SNSA on an iPad. Everyone seemed to enjoy doing the Maths Quiz and coped really well!
Other Areas
This week for PE, we went outside on Monday to practise some races for Sports Day! We did running, team relays, egg and spoon and jumping. We had a visit from Generation Science on Wednesday, and heard the story of Ella’s Wobble. We learned that sounds are made because the air wobbles, and we made our own squawkers and shakers. We all had a great time and listened really well. We also made a display for the school on the UNCRC (United Nation’s Convention of the Rights of the Child). We found out that we all have a right to have an identity, the right to learn, the right to play, the right to live with a caring family and the right to be safe. We drew pictures of what these rights might look like.
