What a busy week in P1/2

In P1, we have continued developing our phonological awareness, with a particular focus on auditory memory. We have been playing lots of fun listening and memory games to help build these important early literacy skills. We have also started learning our first sound, ‘s’.

Here is a link to the Jolly Phonics song and action, which can be used at home to help us remember our sound.

During writing, P1 have been working on ‘Foundations of Writing’ and created detailed drawings for our “Brushing Our Teeth” lesson. We focused carefully on adding lots of detail to our pictures.

In P2, some of us have continued developing our descriptive writing, thinking about how we can add detail to make our writing more interesting. We have also been learning and revising the  ‘ch’ sound.

In numeracy, we have been busy developing our skills in counting, ordering numbers and number formation. Some of our  learners have also been working on place value, learning how to partition numbers into tens and ones.

Another fantastic week of learning in P1/2!

Our Week in P1/2 

We have had another busy and exciting week in P1/2!

In Literacy, we have been learning about syllables and developing our early writing skills through Foundations of Writing. We created detailed drawings of our faces, thinking carefully about all the features we needed to include.

P2 have also been exploring  ‘Visualisation’ and beginning to develop their descriptive writing skills.

In Numeracy, we have been doing lots of counting, number formation and finding missing numbers. Some of us have been learning about place value, using tens and units to explore how numbers are made. We even created some fantastic tens and units monsters! Some of us have also been working on identifying the number before and after.

 We continued exploring our Deep Dark Wood topic this week. We learned how to identify living and non-living things in our environment and talked about what makes something living. We also got creative, making some lovely fox crafts and experimenting with mixing paints to create different colours for our artwork.

In music, we took part in some ‘body percussion’ and had fun finding the beat of a piece of music. Ask us about this at home!

We also enjoyed welcoming our families into our class during our stay and play. We were proud to talk about our learning.

Another fantastic week of learning in P1/2!
