Some highlights from our busy week!

Writing – Persuasive

The children have began a new writing genre. From now until the end of term they will be exploring persuasive writing. This week the topic was Halloween. They were given a sentence starter “Halloween is good because ………..” They came up with a number of reasons- “you get to trick or treat”, “you get to dress up in a scary costume” “you get to scare people” etc. Some super examples below.

Phonics – “a” sound

This week the children were introduced to the “a” sound. This is an important sound as it enables the children to start blending and reading 3 letter words. They used sound mats to support the blending process. They did really well, I am so proud of them.

     

   

Numeracy

In numeracy this week we have been sorting, counting and ordering numbers!

   

   

As a special Halloween treat the buddies came to help Primary One carry out some spooky Halloween art!

     

     

Lastly we are still working on our Autumn display. We think it looks fantastic!

I hope you all have a great Halloween weekend and the children enjoy dressing up and eating lots of sweets! I will be back next week with more updates.
