This week in P1 we have been learning the sounds: sh & r and tricky word so. They really enjoyed making shark hats with Miss Sommerville. In science the children have been experimenting with push and pull forces. Our numeracy focus is information handling. The children have explored tally marks and pictographs. In P.E they have been playing team games. Here are their highlights and challenges from the week:

Highlights

L –  Learning the sh sound it has two letters when you mix them together it makes green.

J – Making the r, we go down the robot and round his arm.

P – Learning the sound sh. Two sounds together makes a new sound, and a different colour if you mix the blue s and the yellow h it makes green sh.

Al – Learning r because it’s a blue sound, robot starts with r.

Sus – We made a pictograph of eye colour. Brown is the most colour, blue was the least.

R – Doing sharks it has a sh.

So – Getting a certificate!

H – Making the shark was fun, shark begins with sh.

Ch – We done singing and watched Primary 5 assembly on Harry Potter.

Au – I liked doing the sharks. I had to stick on the teeth and make it scary with a big mouth. Sh is a s and a h, it’s a green sh because blue and yellow make green.

Sub – Learning sh and r, Shoe has sh at the start.

N – Making a shark because they have sharp teeth.

Challenges

J – Making a shark they start with the sh sound. trying to stick the band on, you had to put lots of glue at the bottom to make it stick on.

P  – It was really hard trying to pick an eye colour because some people had both colours, like blue and green together.

Sus – We can’t use red and grey only blue green and brown.

L – It was very difficult to paint with your thumb because it was too big for the rainbow and it would go on the other colour. I did wee dots with your pinkie and it didn’t go onto the other colour.

So – Sounding and blending words because it was hard.

Au –  Reading the word search I had to concentrate.
