However, for primary 1, if you could help your child look out for the sounds that we are learning in school then this would be helpful to their progress.  You could also play games such as ‘I Spy’ to help children recognise the beginning sounds of words.

So far we have learned s, a, t and p.

You can download the ‘Jolly Phonics’ app on a smartphone and access the songs, stories and letter formation demonstrations for each sound.  The sounds we have learned so far are in phase 1 sounds.

You can also watch videos of Geraldine the giraffe on You Tube.  Geraldine helps us to learn our sounds too and also makes us laugh.

Here is a link to a Geraldine video for our newest sound – p:

We have our own sand boxes in class to practise forming our letters in the sand. We had fun writing our sounds s, a and t in the sand.

So we have learned the sounds s and a and have been working hard to write the sounds the correct way and think of words with the sounds in them.

We have also been learning how to write the number 3.

Can you spot any of your sounds and numbers at home?

We have finished our class charter and it looks great.

Our RIGHTS are around the tree.

Our agreed RESPONSIBILITIES are on the tree trunk

We have also been doing a lot of talking and listening and finding out about each other and how we feel.

We liked talking about and drawing life in lockdown. Take a  look at our wonderful work …
