This week we will be learning the sounds ai and j. We will be thinking of things which contain the sound ai and start with j and finding out how to form the letters.

Any discussion at home about words which contain or start with these letters will help with the learning of the sounds.

Maths

This week we will continue with the topic of information handling, looking at simple 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

We continue with our Showtime Topic. This week we will be learning another simple dance with moves to the music. We enjoyed learning the birdie dance last week and watching the videos sent in on our Google Classroom.

We wil also be doing some winter and Christmas activites.

Well done to Mia, our latest pupil of the week. She has been successful in writing activities and always tries her best.

Also well done to Zac, our playground star for this week.

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.
