This week P1 have enjoyed:

Josh – Freewriting Friday! You can draw whatever you want. I don’t know what I drew but there was kind of patterns in it.

Olivia – Learning about 2D shapes. We used pipe cleaners to make circles and triangles.

Jack – Making rockets with circles, triangles, rectangles and squares.

Ella – A circle has 1 curved side.

Oliver – We had to use finger spaces because when you don’t do them it’s hard to read.

Grace – Learning about putting a full stop at the end of a sentence.

A short but busy week in P1! This week we have been revising all of our learned sounds and building CVC words with them. P1 have been learning to write a sentence. There were lots of new challenges with this task. The children had to remember the sentence, use their sounds to spell each word, remember to use finger spaces between each word, use a capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end! They all tried their very best and successfully wrote their first sentence!

2D Shape

The children have explored 2D shapes. They have made them using pipe cleaners, lolly sticks, lego, blocks and pegboards. They have also spotted 2D shapes around the classroom and sorted and described their properties.

In P1 this week our learned sounds were u and b and the tricky word no!  Some of the children went on an environmental word hunt around the school. They were amazed at how many words they could read! For numeracy, we have been adding 1 more to a number. The children all enjoyed outdoor learning this week. We went for a walk and explored the woods; we had to look up, down, over, under and through to see what we could see. We saw the river, brambles, broom, trees, leaves, sticks, branches, slugs, beetles, pinecones, feathers, moss and the light shimmering through the trees onto the ground!

Izaan – I liked going for a walk. I saw a big dip in the grass.

Ella – I liked playing in the woods, I saw the sun coming through the trees, the light made circles.

Jessica – We went to the woods we found a little hill in the ground.

Kade – I liked building with the bricks we made a seat for Ms King!

Caleb – I liked building stuff with the bricks. I made a seat and Ms King sat in it and read a story!

Louis – I had fun in the woods.

Alexander – I was doing a pattern.

Josh – We did the letters u and b this week.

Outdoor Learning

Environmental Print 

This week in P1 we have been learning the sounds c and k along with tricky word he! In maths, we have continued to explore repeating patterns and had a go at designing our own patterned jumpers just in time for the frosty weather this morning! In assembly today we learned that being active is good for our wellbeing.

Oliver – We had our photo taken in the garden, it was fun!

Kade – We made a repeating pattern caterpillar. We cut the circles to make them.

Kaylan – We danced to music.

Alexander – We did science with Miss Whigham.

Rhy-Lee -I made a pattern with three colours.

 P1 are excited to bring home their home learning today! Check out this link which explains how to say the pure sounds.

This has been a short but busy week in P1. We revised all our learned sounds and built words using the magnetic boards, so far we have learned: m, a, s, d, t, i, n, p, g, and o! In handwriting the children had to focus on using a good pencil grip and correct letter formation, some of the children managed to write some CVC words independently using learned sounds, fantastic! The children have started to use tickled pink and green for growth to self-assess their learning. For tickled pink the children highlight in pink one piece of super writing, then they use the green for growth highlighter to show something they need to practise more. In maths, the children have used beads, bricks, paint, ICT and pegboards to create their own repeated patterns using two or three different colours. You can access the ICT game they have enjoyed playing below:

Children’s Learning Highlights

Grace – We were drawing the things we like to smell and the things we don’t like to smell. I like to smell apple cake and I don’t like to smell Dad’s slippers.

Oliver – We did repeating colours, we made a repeating pattern. I made a necklace with red and orange!

Georgia – We were making words with the letters, I made ‘sam’.

Kyra – I liked handwriting, we did down the insect’s body and a dot for his head. The pink pen is for your best one and the green one if for your worst one.

Ella – I enjoyed playing in the garden.

Josh – Learning French, we learned to say hello, bonjour!

Grace – I have enjoyed colouring the little boy and girl who were saying bonjour to each other.

This week in P1 we have been learning the sounds o and g. In numeracy, we have been counting and sorting numbers and finding the number before.  P1 enjoyed playing bean bag games for outdoor PE this week. Please see below for some of the children’s comments about their learning highlights from this week.

Kaylan – I enjoyed playing outside

Jessica – I liked playing the game with the beanbags

Izaan – Learning the sound ‘o’ and ‘g’

Josh – Learning about ‘o’ we painted ‘o‘ and did tell ted. You have to tell the teddy and show them how to do ‘o‘, you go all the way around the orange.

Kyra – I liked music,  we thought about how the music makes us feel. I felt like I was dancing in a party.

This week in P1 we have been learning the sound ‘p’ which is a pink quiet lip sound and ‘n’ which is a dark blue sound which we make with our tongue. P1 are learning which parts of the mouth make the sounds we learn, this helps us to make the pure sound by using the correct parts of the mouth. I will go over this during meet the teacher. In numeracy, we have been counting and sorting with numbers 9 and 10.  When the grass on the field is dry enough to use P1 have enjoyed playing outdoor games. We also walked around the boundary of the field and discussed safe boundaries during outdoor PE. The children enjoyed playing in the back garden this week, we did some sound spotting and found seeds, sticks and feathers. Please see below for the children’s learning comments.

Georgia – This week I learned ‘p’ it is a pink sound

Olivia – ‘p’ is a pink sound because it is a soft sound; pig has the ‘p’ sound.

Oliver – ‘p’ is a pink sound because it’s a quiet sound.

Kyra – we did feeling and hearing in science.

Lily –‘p’ is a pink sound because you make it with your lips. It is a quiet sound!
