Good afternoon P1B.
Literacy
This week, we did some revision of digraphs sh and ch, and block 2 tricky words. We tried to find words that have ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ in our library books. During our writing time, we wrote about ‘my plant’. We had rainbow plants, purple plants, human plants and car-part plants! Please continue to practise writing the tricky words at home.
Maths and numeracy
This week, we continued with our practice of counting on to work out sums. We put the big number in our head and count on, sometimes with our fingers for support.
Other Areas
This week, we had a games session in PE and played the class idea of ‘diamond tig’ and Clear the Playground to practise our throwing skills. On Monday morning, we had Ally back from the Youth Music Initiative. We learned a new song and played more music games. On Monday afternoon, we were very excited to go and see the P7 Show! Everybody in the class showed excellent listening skills and respect for the performers. This week, we also started our new topic – Living Things. We started by talking about plants and flowers and what they need to grow and survive. We are excited to see if our seeds we planted grow! The class are interested in learning about lots of different animals, so this will be our focus for our Living Things topic to learn about what they all depend on to survive. We played the Yes/No game with different types of animals. On Tuesday morning, we enjoyed a lovely walk to the Walled Garden, and made a stop on the way back in the woods to look for any living creatures and do some bark rubbings.

General Information
Keep all the junk coming in – it’s amazing how quickly we run out!
In the sunny weather, please make sure your child is wearing suncream.
No loose parts next week.
Please now return your parent comment sheet for your child’s report by Monday 12th June if you haven’t already done so.
Please also return the Learning Story. This will then go to the P2 teacher for them to see, and it will then be sent home for you to have after the summer holidays.
Thanks for your support and enjoy the sunshine this weekend,
