We are loving our reading time. We read as group, with partners and also read individually. We are getting good at understanding the text, playing the word hunting game, and taking part in comprehension tasks.  Reading is fun!

We had great fun working with jumbled sentences. At first we had to arrange the words in the right order and then we practised writing the sentences. We are also getting good at story writing and have started to include lots of details in our stories. In class we always celebrate our success and give our opinions to each other’s work.

We are getting better in our reading skills.  We can read words using our phonics knowledge, understand the meaning, and also can scan the words. We always help each other to get better in reading. Reading together is fun!

We are getting good at writing our own stories. First we have to plan  our stories with the help of the story boards. We decided what our characters would be, the settings, problems and then solutions. We were very proud to share our stories with the class!

We are getting better & better in Phonics each day. We are making words by blending different sounds, learning about the tricky words & even trying to write simple sentences. Look at the amazing progress in our writing!

In primary 1, we love learning through play. This week, we worked on the days of the week. We loved singing the song & we played spotting the right day game. It was quite tricky, walking in baby steps but as always with a little practice, we managed to succeed (As our class moto is “we never give up”)!

This week we worked on three new sounds z, w & ng. We did lots of practice on these sounds & worked really hard on blending sounds to make words.

This week, we have been learning about diagraphs in Phonics. Diagraphs are two letters that combine together to make a new sound. We were working on “ai”, “ee” and “ie” sounds & how to make words with them.

We have been learning about positions in our class. We loved singing the song “Where is the monkey?”.  We always find fun games to learn new things. We made a human tunnel & crawled under it. It was great fun & even Mrs Patra crawled along with us under the tunnel!
