We’ve had another busy week in P1. We learned two new sounds – h and r. For h we made a hat and have been hopping around the classroom. For r we watched a rocket launch and have been watching stories from the International Space Station.

We’ve been practising writing words and were very pleased to all write a short sentence!

In number time we’ve been working on formation.  Number eight is quite tricky and it would be good to practise this at home. When we wrote a number eight we say the rhyme ‘make a ‘s’ and close the gate, that’s how we make a number 8’.

In our outdoor learning this week we’ve been talking more about evergreen and deciduous trees. We went on a tree hunt to see which types of trees we could spot. We were very excited to see birch, lime, oak and sycamore in our outdoor classroom!

In PE Mrs Fletcher has been showing us how to throw and catch a ball. It is lots of fun.
