Thank you to everyone who came along to the literacy evening and the school open evening last week. It was great to chat to you all and I know that the children loved showing you around the classroom!
It has been another busy and very exciting week in P1W. In phonics, we have been exploring our new sounds (‘r’ and ‘m’). We have also been using the magnetic boards to build words using the sounds we have learned so far. In numeracy, we continue to practise the formation of numbers and to develop our careful counting skills. We have also been investigating one more/less than a given number.
Homework this week:
- Phonics activities in the blue book
- Class reading book
- Name writing and number formation card (a highlighter pen works well on the laminated sheet and can be rubbed out easily).
Please support your child to write using lower case letters (with flicks). Capital letters should be used at the start of a sentence and at the start of a name.
Some parents asked if they could have a copy of the number formation songs which we sing in class. These are the words which I use and the children really like the songs! See below for another useful number formation resource.
Around and round and round we go, around and round and round we go, around and round and round we go, to make a number 0.
Start at the top and pull straight down…..to make a number 1
Around and back on a railway track…..to make a number 2
Around the tree and around the tree…..to make a number 3
Down across and then straight down…..to make a number 4
Down around and then the top…..to make a number 5
Down we go and make a loop…..to make a number 6
Across the sky and down from heaven…..to make a number 7
Make a ‘s’ and close it up…..to make a number 8
Make a loop and then a line…..to make a number 9
