P4-P1 Reading buddies P1-P4
This week, on Monday, saw the first steps of our reading buddies sessions. The P4’s were very excited and couldn’t wait to meet their buddies. One or two had already been making friends in the playground and this has continued all week. The children sat well reading and listening, learning to share and to be considerate of each other. Although you can’t see the smiles on the faces, believe me they were there and many were grinning at the sheer delight of having a reading buddy.

Learning Reflection for W/E 7.9.18
The children have been busy this week learning the sounds d and t. We have also started to build some words using our learned sounds. The children have been using their listening skills to spot if they hear a sound first or last when saying a CVC word. For example with the word mat do you hear the t sound first or last? In numeracy we have been counting and sorting with 6 and 7 this week. In PE the class enjoyed using juggling scarves and balance boards to practice skills such as balance and hand eye coordination.
Below are the children’s comments on their learning highlights and challenges this week.
