New sound this week is “s”<\/strong>. The children have been making it, sorting pictures by initial sounds and writing it. Some of their work below.<\/p>\n Numeracy<\/p>\n This week we have started a daily Number Talk. At this stage children are presented with a dot pattern. They are\u00a0 asked “how many dots do you see and how do you see them?” I record their answers and we discuss\u00a0 which was the most efficent strategy. The aim is to recognise groups of dots for example, in a pattern of 5 random dots a child may see a 3 and a 2 or a 4 and a 1. In time, (some are already doing this really well!!) it is hoped that this will increase their speed and accuracy and they won’t drop back to counting in 1’s when presented with larger groups.<\/p>\n We have also been focusing on the story of 6. The children have been writing the number 6 with different materials, they have also been gathering collections of 6 objects and making 6 in different ways. As a challenge some of the children ordered a huge 0 to 30 number line. Fantastic to see the children challenging themselves.<\/p>\n Health and Wellbeing<\/p>\n As part of our covid recovery programme we have been sharing stories of how we helped friends and family during lockdown. Some comments from the children<\/p>\n Katie – “I helped\u00a0 mummy put away my clothes in the drawer”<\/p>\n Scott – “I helped\u00a0 mum when she wan’t feeling well”<\/p>\n Emily- “I helped\u00a0 mum make a cake”<\/p>\n Samuel – “I helped mum make dinner”<\/p>\n The children have drawn some pictures of the people they helped.<\/p>\n I hope you all have a fantastic\u00a0 holiday weekend and I look forward to seeing the children on Wednesday (23rd).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have had another busy learning week in Primary 1A.
