It has been another really busy week for P1A and the children would like to share some of their learning with you. We have just started our Autumn topic. We have been reading Autumn stories and painting trees for our display.
Literacy – Phonics
The new sound “c” was introduced on Tuesday and we have been working really hard on forming the letter correctly using a variety of media.
We have also been sorting pictures according to their initial sound – m or c
Numeracy
We are continuing to practise counting forward and back, order numerals, saying the number before and after. This weeks focus has centered around 5 (forming it correctly) and finding different ways to make it.
We are learning how to use 5 frames which are a great way to develop a sense of number. Why not ask your child about them.
Health and Wellbeing
We continue to focus on feeling safe. The children were asked to draw a picture of where they feel safe and belong. We had lots of super suggestions- “when daddy gives me a big hug”, “when I am in bed and Mummy is reading me a story” “when I go to visit gran”.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend. More updates on next weeks blog.
We have been exploring the shape of the Numicon and matching the number of holes in the Numicon to the number it represents. We have found that there are lots of different ways we can use Numicon in our class to help us with our learning. Below are some pictures which explain how this fantastic resource has been helping us this week to make sense of all things number……
