A busy week in P1M!

I hope everyone had a lovely break. It has been lovely to hear all of the children’s news from their holidays. This has been a very busy week for us, in P1M!

In Literacy we have continued to learn two new sounds, ‘air’ and ‘ir’ as well as continuing our fabulous progress within reading. The children are enjoying taking part in paired reading and helping each other with some word attack strategies for tricky words. We also read the story, ‘Tidy’ by Emily Gravett this week and we look forward to exploring the themes around the environment within the story over the coming weeks.

In Maths we have been learning about weight and exploring the use of the words ‘heavy’ and ‘light’ to sort objects into groups. The children enjoyed exploring the classroom for objects and choosing an appropriate group to sort them into.

We also worked with metre sticks this week and explored the classroom to find things that were longer or shorter than a metre.

As part of our topic on wildlife and the local environment we decided to plant our own cress seeds which the children really enjoyed. We learned that plants need soil, water and sunlight to grow. We look forward to watching the growth of our plants over the next few weeks.
