What an extremely busy and quick week it has been down in Primary 1B. There have been lots of wonderful and exciting learning experiences happening in our classroom and we would like to share some of our highlights with you.
We have been continuing to focus on getting to grips with our school values, this week’s focus has been on the value Nurture. We have been talking about how we can nurture each other with kindness and encourage each other.
In phonics this week we have been learning about the mmmmmmmmm sound – that’s right the letter Mm. We know that it is a red sound because we make it using our lips. We also know that it is a looooooooong stretchy sound. We have been excellent at listening out for the sound at the beginning of words and can list lots and lots of different words beginning with m.
Here are some pictures of the different types of activities we do in class to help us learn.
In numeracy we have been learning about the number 3 and 4. We have learned some number rhymes to help us remember how to form the letter correctly. Below is the one to help us remember number 4! We have been investigating all the different ways of making and representing these numbers. 
One of the games we have really been enjoying is using the online dice roll, where we can roll the dice and shout out the number which is shows! This is great for getting us used to identifying regular dot patterns, we’re such experts now that we don’t even need to count the dots!! Here is the link in case anyone wants to have a go at home.

We have also been working very hard on improving our fine motor skills through adding lots of important little details into our drawings. One of the activities we have enjoyed this week is making play doh faces to help us remember all the different facial features we all have. Here are some pictures of our creations.
We hope you have enjoyed our little snapshot of our week.
