We have been doing lots of fun jobs and activities now we are in P1.

The children are continuing to settle into class and have adapted well to all the new routines and responsibilities.

Please can we ask that all clothing and equipment is clearly named, including water bottles, jackets and shoes.

Things are beginning to settle down and our timetable is almost organised.

Music is on a Tuesday with Mr Smith.

Science is on a Wednesday with Mrs Will.

Gym will probably be on a Thursday with Mrs Northcroft although this has still to be confirmed once the children are in full-time.

On Friday the children will usually have Assembly and Golden time.

Phonics – This week we will be practising the letters a and t, as well as consolidating s.  There will be sound homework in the H/S book and is a job to complete for Wednesday (a) and Friday (t).

Number – Counting and recognising numbers to 10.  Exploring the formation of 2 and 3.

We are going to be encouraging the children to take their water bottles into class each morning in order for them to have regular sips throughout the day.

Please can we ask that you put your child’s name on their bottle so it’s easy to identify. Also any tubs and packed lunch boxes should be named too.

Thank You

We have been out every day this week to complete our ‘Walk a Mile’.  Our P7 Buddies have been super in helping us get organised and keeping us chatting as we explore the playground.

This week the children have been learning lots about the sound

s

Please play, discuss and try and spot some ‘s’ letters to help build up their knowledge and understanding of this new sound.

Our third group of pupils have now joined us and we are delighted to have all 14 children together.
