During our Literacy and English lessons we explore language in a number of different ways. Today there were groups exploring different sounds in words, creating  character profiles, using ICT to sort real and nonsense words and some children relaxing with their favourite book.
In P1.1 we love creating and telling stories and today we had fun trying something new! Â We used the Story Board game to create our stories. By choosing cards that showed different aspects of a story we had to think on our feet to create stories that make sense.
This is one of the stories that we started:
When I was happy I went to the beach and saw a lizard. Suddenly it turned dark! By Sali
There are lots of budding authors in P1.1.
In our classroom we love reading and listening to stories. To support us in becoming the Authors and Illustrators of the future we have space in our room to enjoy the work of established Authors and Illustrators. This week we are celebrating the work of Julia Donaldson:
We have been learning our sounds through the use of different games and activities:
To work on our writing we took chalk outside and wrote our sounds on the ground. Look how well we are doing with our letter formation and knowledge of sounds!
This morning we had a visit from Chris Riddell who came to share his new book with us: Once Upon a Wild Wood. Chris is both the Author and Illustrator of his books.
While we were coming into the hall he drew a picture of the children sitting in the front row!
Then he read us an extract of his new book. The main character is Little Green Raincape, she is on her way to a party and the story tells the adventures of her journey.
We really enjoyed hearing the story!!!
Since starting P1 we have been learning the individual sounds that letters make and developing our skills in writing them.
This week we will start putting those sounds together to read and create words. We use the Jolly Phonics program and this short clip lets you hear the different letter sounds that we will be learning.
Some of the activities that we will be working on this week include:
So far we have learned the letters s, a and t. This week we will add p, i and n.
