We have been very busy again this week. In Literacy P1 have learned the ‘y’, ‘w’ and ‘th’ sounds and the tricky word so. We stuck wool on a yak, practised our letter formation, taught ted and coloured in a whale. P2 revised the ‘er’, ‘ou’ and ‘ow’ sounds. They searched for these words in a word search, played roll and read and coloured in real and non-sense words. In numeracy P1 have explored adding. We have played games, used the linking tens to make 10 and used concrete materials such as counting bears to help us make friends of 5 and then 10. P2 have been exploring different strategies to use for subtracting such as count back and find the difference. We played race to zero, used a number line to work out answers and used Numicon to help us find the difference. In Science we have been exploring day and night. In music with Dave we have been continuing to put music to a story about Josh and his granny. We have had the chance to play instruments such as a drum, a guitar etc. We invite you to come and share our Wee Story Big Sound learning on Wednesday 4th December at 11am. In P.E we practiced dribbling with the ball at our feet and played games. We have started to look at weather as our topic. We brainstormed what we knew and what we would like to know. We also identified different types of weather. We had our Star of the Week circle time. This week we got together with P1 and P2 and started to learn the songs for our nativity. On Friday we went to assembly. It was all about remembrance. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
Hiba: “I enjoyed everything this week.”
Solomia: “I enjoyed all our learning this week.”
Olly: “I enjoyed colouring in the whale for the ‘w’ sound.”
Lucas: “I enjoyed learning about day and night with Miss Whigham.”
Murdo: “I liked the video during the assembly on remembrance.”
