Working Hard in P1

 

Hello and welcome again to P1’s Blog. We have had another very busy week. We have learned a further 2 sounds, ‘w’ and ‘y’. We practise saying the sounds, doing the actions and singing the songs every day. We now know 22 sounds!

 

 We also discovered the ladybird maths box this week and talked about addition. We have become number detectives and use the bingo, lotto and domino games inside the box. We used the ladybird number lines to discuss the number before, the number after and the number in between. Next week we are going to put playdough spots on the ladybirds to help us to add. We have been using the dice in room 6 to help us to count and add 2 numbers together. We try to remember to start with the biggest number first!

    

We’ve also been continuing to work hard on our patterns as these pictures clearly show. We can even write out our numbers 0-10 in a pattern!

  

We read a story this week about St. Andrew and learned that he is the patron saint of Scotland. We hope to celebrate St. Andrew’s day next week by having a party with P2 and P3. We made our very own Saltires and we’re planning to wave them at our party next week. We used blue card and we ripped up small pieces of white tissue paper and glued them to make the St. Andrew’s cross.

  

Our rehearsals for The Grumpy Sheep are going well and we have started to get all the actors and chorus upon the stage. Keep singing the songs and learning those lines!
