Happy New Year and welcome to P1’s first blog of 2011. We all had a lovely holiday and we’re very excited to be back at school ready to work hard!

We learned a new sound this week. The ‘ai‘ sound. Our action for this sound is to put our hand to our ear and pretend we can’t hear what someone is saying.

We have been finger painting and making jelly fish. This is our first art project for our new topic ‘Under the Sea.’ We can’t wait to learn more about the creatures that live in the oceans and seas of the world.

We’re still very busy using our Ladybird maths box. This week we have been working on the stories of 3, 4, 6 and 7. We have been making play dough spots to use on the Ladybird sheets to help us with our adding.

Notices this week:
