Literacy:
This week we have been focusing on ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ sounds and bending them with our other familiar sounds, this helps us to improve our reading fluency. We wrote a letter to Mrs Kellock requesting what we would like in our new playground and we can’t wait to see what it will look like. We took turns reading aloud in our reading groups and really impressed our teachers. We have also been practising our letter formation skills.
Numeracy:
This week we continued practising counting to 20 through various activities such as matching the quantity to the number, bingo, and ordering number puzzles. We also started our new topic on 3D shape which involved sorting 3D shapes, and making 3D shapes.
Health and Wellbeing
Everyday we have been using a well-being check-in to help express our emotions and feelings. We have been focusing on how to stay safe by discussing how we can stay safe in the classroom and identifying hazards. We also explored the SHANARRI indicators and what they all mean. We know they are Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Responsible, Respected and Included.
Expressive arts
In music we have been exploring rhythm using a wooden percussion block, and we have been singing beautifully. In art we made portraits of Katie Morag.
