Welcome to P1’s blog! We are only at school for 3 days this week so we have been very busy fitting everything in that we needed to do.

We learned two more sounds this week. They are ‘sh’ and ‘qu’.

When we do the action for ‘sh’ we put our finger to our lips as if we are telling someone to be quiet. For ‘qu’, we put the palms of our hands together and open them up pretending  our hands are a ducks beak.

As next Monday is Valentines Day and we won’t be at school, we made our cards ready to give to some one we love. We had silver foil hearts and using the handle end of a paint brush we pressed a design on the foil. We then turned the hearts over and glued them onto red card. We wrote our message  on the inside.

On Tuesday we did another water experiment. This time we wanted to see what objects would float and what objects would sink. Mrs Adams and Miss Simpson gathered together 15 items. We were all given 1 item and had to predict whether we thought it would float or sink when we put it in the water.

After we discovered whether it floated or sank we put them in the correct pile. We then recorded our findings on a sheet.
