Morning all.

I was asked about letter formation yesterday and I suggested using this handy picture to help remind children which way round ‘b’ and ‘d’ go. I thought it might be useful to share on here in case anyone else finds it helpful.

If your child is doing any writing activities and is forming their letters or numbers the wrong way round, don’t worry too much. Just give them a gentle reminder about the correct way.

P1a have been making the most of the snow today by exploring how to create art in the snow.  There was lots teamwork and even more laughter!

The activities were child-led with a focus on discovery learning. If you look through the photos you will see evidence of colour-mixing, sculpture painting, dabbing, splatter painting, printing and shaping.

Can you spot where some of the children even made number dot patterns and wrote our ‘oo’ sound in the snow?

P1a had a ball at the Christmas party last week. We danced, played games, ate party food and even had a visit from a very special person!

Another busy week in P1a. Have a look at some of what we got up to…

We started with a very exciting visit from Mr Armstrong who told us all about being a fire fighter.

Number work…

…and some literacy.
