Good morning and I can’t believe it is Friday again after another busy week.

 

Here are some of the things that we have been doing this week.

 

In literacy we are continuing to revise and learn our initial sounds and I hope you have had fun looking around your house for things beginning with s,a and t. You might even see things when you are out and about at the park, going to the shops or in your books. Keep looking! We have been working hard to decipher words by sounding out the letters sounds and blending them together to make words. Our lovely new reading books are a phonics based scheme so this skill of blending sounds together is very important in the development of our reading.

 

In maths this week we have been investigating the odd numbers between 11 and 20 using Numicon, cubes and ten frames. We have learned how to use the Numicon pieces and these manipulatives to test if a number has a bump in its head. If it has a bump in its head, it is an odd number. Why not ask your children to show you how to test a number for a bump in it’s head by using coins? To do this the children will lay out the coins in rows of 2s until they make the number and if it is an odd number the last coin will not have a partner.

Below is an example for number 5.

The number 11 has a bump in its head so is odd. Have fun trying this.

For health and wellbeing, we have been looking at being active in school and had lots of opportunities this week to be very active in the gym on Monday, at Work out Wednesday and during outdoor learning on a Thursday. Outdoor learning has been lots of fun with  Primary one on a Thursday. Please can you always have an outdoor jacket for a Thursday especially as we move into the autumn.

Wishing you a lovely relaxing weekend.

Mrs Carey.
