The weeks are sure flying in. P1 have had another busy week working hard and learning lots. In literacy we learned the sounds y and w. We taught ted how to write these sounds, built words such as web with them and completed a word search with y words in it. In writing we created a poster advertising our nativity. Our poster had to include a detailed picture, the title of our nativity, where and when it is happening. Some of our posters are displayed around the school. In number talks we have been continuing to learn about skip counting and recognising a visual pattern. This week we counted in 5s as well as 10s. We have been using Numicon to support our learning about subtraction within in 10. In Science we made pop up penguins. We have been continuing to practise for our nativity and are ready for our dress rehearsal on Monday 10th December and our two performances to our parents, first of all on Tuesday 11th December at 2.30pm and then on Wednesday 12th December at 10am. Tickets are available from Mrs Young at the office. Here are a few of the children’s reflections from the week:
