Letter Sounds

We have now completed all the letter sounds for Primary 1. This week we will revise all the single sounds and digraphs. Homework for this week is to make any words containing the sounds qu, ou, oi, ue, er and ar.

Common Words

Please continue to use the word walls in the white homework book to revise the sight vocabulary. The 4th word wall is now stuck in, with our last 12 words.  Words for this week are then and that. Please complete the common word homework for Thursday by counting and writing each word.

Reading

Reading continues on Monday this week and the reading books will be taken in on Thursday for the holidays.

Maths

This week we continue to learn about fractions and will be looking at halving amounts. e.g. half of 4 is 2, half of 10 is 5. Please see the CLIC post for numeracy homework ideas.

P1 enjoyed our taster session in the hall.

Well done to Erin, our latest pupil of the week. She has been putting great effort into literacy tasks this week.

Letter Sounds

This week we continue with the digraphs (2 letter sounds), as we have now completed all the single initial sounds. These are a little trickier for the children to learn and remember as they are often in the middle or end of words rather than at the start.  Our letter sounds this week are er and ar. Letter er homework should be completed for Wednesday and letter ar homework should be completed by Friday. Please think of any word starting with or containing the digraphs, for the phonics homework.
