Welcome back to our blog! We are so happy and excited to be reunited with our friends. We have had a super busy week of learning too!
In Literacy, we continue to explore phonemes! We are learning to recognise, say and create words using phonemes.
Using our knowledge of phonemes, this is enabling us to increase our fluency of reading. It also helps us read challenging words!
We have been exploring non-fiction texts!
We used the contents page to locate information to help complete a Fact File about our chosen book.
In Writing, we have been learning about Instructional Writing. We are learning the functionalities of writing and how to correctly form instructions.
We have to do the following:
- Use a new opener for each sentence
- Number each new instruction
- Create detailed instructions which make sense
- Remember to use punctuation
This week, we wrote instructions on how to wash your hands! We wrote the equipment required and the entire method.
Using our reading books, we have been learning about questioning. We created questions for our peers to answer!
Summer is approaching! We have revisited Time, months of the year and days of the week.
We have been learning to identify o’clock, half past and quarter past!
Number bonds are continuous! We continue to practise our mental maths skills and explore different strategies to help us solve calculations.
Doubles and Halves! We are excellent at recalling doubles up to 10. However, we are now learning about halves of doubles. We used a mirror to help us too!
For example, the mirror showed that the half of 12 is 6!
We are super at skip counting in 2’s. Therefore, we are learning how to skip count in 5’s!
Our Woodland area required a big tidy-up after the Easter Holidays. P1B showed they are responsible citizens as they worked hard to reinstate the Woodland area to its former glory. We decided to rebuild all the areas, including the tyre trail and the picnic area.
What a week it has been! I wonder what we will learn next week… I cannot wait!
Have a wonderful weekend superstars!
