Now we have completed the third set of 6 letter sounds – g, o, u, l, f, b. This week in school we will revise these sounds and do some activities to consolidate them. Matching pictures to their initial sound, forming the letter sounds and thinking of things which start with the letter sounds. We can now also continue to form words using the first 18 letter sounds – fog, get, mug, leg  etc.

You could try to make some of these words together at home using the individual letter sounds. This is the start of blending where we say the sounds together to read the word.

Maths

This week we will continue to learn about information handling with pictograms and bar graphs.

We will also continue our CLIC sessions for numeracy.

As part of our Big Maths we do CLIC sessions in the class which at this stage of Primary 1 only involve –

C – counting and L – learn its (these are number facts which we learn so they can be quickly recalled without needing to work out the answer).

Counting – counting activities such as saying the numbers forwards and backwards

Learn its –  1 + 1 = 2 and 2 + 2 =4.

Topic
