Good afternoon P1B!
Literacy
This week, we did some revision of digraphs and final consonant blends such as sh, ch, ng and nk.
We also continued our Block 2 tricky words with ‘all’ and ‘her’. Please keep going with learning to read and write all of the tricky words we have done so far – repetition is key!
For writing, we thought about dinosaurs and had some great drawings and pieces of writing. Some of us wrote about fossils, or riding dinosaurs, or Steggy!
Maths and numeracy
This week during our Maths time, we continued with our individual National Standardised Assessments (NSA), and did some revision on time for o’clock and half past.
Other Areas
For our PE time on Thursday with Mrs Conlin, we practised our races for Sports Day. We also had a great Loose Parts session on Wednesday afternoon. Various children in the class have shown an interest in dinosaurs and fossils, so our classroom and learning this week had a ‘dino theme’. We matched dinosaur descriptions to pictures, used numicon to make a stegosaurus and found fossils, just like palaeontologists! On Friday, we talked about the King’s Coronation and the history of the event.
Here are some pictures of some of our learning in the P1 Area, courtesy of Mrs Shaw!

General Information
Keep all the junk coming in – it’s amazing how quickly we run out!
Next week is Health Week! We have lots of activities planned, including Sports Day, Multisports and Simon Says Dance! Children are encouraged to come to school everyday in PE kit. We will be going out in all weathers, so would advise bringing a lightweight waterprrof! We will also be starting our My Body topic as part of the RSHP programme.
No loose parts next week.
Thank you for your continued support and have a lovely long weekend!
