We\u2019ve had another lovely week in P1.\u00a0We have a \u2018soft start\u2019 each morning to ease the children into the day. \u00a0This week we\u2018ve been focusing on our fine motor skills with painting, building with loose parts, writing with buttons and eating pom-poms with our tennis ball monsters!<\/span><\/p>\n

In literacy we\u2019ve learned two more sounds – i and p. The children are doing a great job remembering the sounds and the actions. Please keep practising these at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re also doing lots of activities with plasticine and playdoh to strengthen our fingers. <\/span>We\u2019re concentrating on faces in our pictures, remembering all of the different parts of the face.<\/span><\/p>\n

In numeracy we\u2019re continuing with our number formation and ordering number lines. We\u2019ve started to use the language of before, after and in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our outdoor learning we\u2019re learning about the different parts of a tree. We went outside and did some bark rubbing. It was fascinating to see the patterns on the different trees!<\/span><\/p>\n

We also read The Leaf Man and the Stick Man and then made our own characters from natural materials we found in the outdoor classroom. Back inside\u00a0 we did a fantastic job making our characters and sharing our leaves and sticks if somebody didn\u2019t have enough for their picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few photos from our week:<\/p>\n
