We’ve had a busy week in P1b starting to think more about Christmas.

We’ve been practising our Christmas song – Ssshhh don’t wake the baby! – and were very excited to go on stage this morning where we were recorded by Mrs Belleville.

In literacy this week we have learned the x sound. We looked at x-rays of different animals and had to guess what it was! We’ve also been doing lots of word building and writing. We are continuing to do lots of fine motor tasks with plasticine, playdoh and tweezers.

In numeracy we’re continuing with addition and have been focusing on number bonds to 8.

Also this week we’ve started to look at time and initially looking at day and night. We drew a picture of ourselves at 8 o’clock in the morning. Some were eating breakfast, some waving goodbye as we set off for school  and others relaxing and watching the television!

We’ve also had lots of fun playing this week. Our role play has taken on a Christmas theme and we’ve been working well taking turns to play games like snakes and ladders.

Here are a few pictures from this week:
