Primary 1 w.b. 2/10/17

Last week, primary 1 had a week of consolidation in their phonics learning. We spent a lot of time reading, writing and blending together the sounds we have learnt so far (a, t, p, i, n and s). The children are making good progress learning their sounds, thank you for your support at home with this. We have also be practising the common words (a, at, the, in, I, it, and, an and is). Please continue to practise these at home so that the children can read and write the words quickly and accurately.
In maths we have been learning our numbers to 10. We have been saying number sequences forwards and backwards to 20. We have also been practising making these numbers and writing them neatly.
This week your child has been given a few websites with maths games on them to play with at home. Here are the links:
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/gingerbread-man-game

Please also continue to practise saying the sounds and blending them together to make short words.
Reminders:
Water bottles should only contain water and should be named.
Please ensure your child comes to school with a PE kit on Mondays. These clothes should be named.
We look forward to meeting with you next Wednesday or Thursday evening for parents consultations. If you have not signed up for a slot please do this as soon as possible.
Thank you
Miss Christy, Mrs Harris and Mrs Oliver
