Good Afternoon. P2/1 have had another busy week full with lots of learning.

In Literacy, P1 have this week learned the sounds ‘n’ and ‘p’ and the tricky words of and my. We have made the letters with play dough, looked for them in a book, made a nest and a feathery parrot, taught ted and coloured in ‘p’pictures. We also made words on our magnetic boards using the letters learned so far. P2 have been revising the igh and i-e sounds. We have looked for words in a word search, taught ted words with these sounds, played roll and read, played the snail trail race and spotted sounds in a story.

In Numeracy P1 have been learning about the numbers 8 and 9. We have made 8 and 9 out of play dough, made families of 9 using our counting bears, completed an activity sheet all about 8 and drew a story of 8. P2 have been focusing on counting, comparing objects and numbers using greater than, less than and equals and we looked at ordinal numbers. We created a poster comparing numbers, played games about ordinal numbers, sorted dominoes into smallest to largest and coloured in animals depending on their position.

In Health and Wellbeing this week we looked at keeping connected and we spoke about our families. We drew a picture of who lived in our house. We started our interdisciplinary learning on animals. We looked at a PowerPoint about the jungle and guessed what animals lived there.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I enjoyed playing roll and read with i-e sounds.”

“I enjoyed playing the snail race games with our sounds.”

“I liked making a nest for the n sound.”

“I enjoyed counting.”

“I enjoyed doing the crafts for our new sounds.”

“I liked making my parrot for ‘p’.”

“I enjoyed putting spots on the ladybird to make 8 or 9 and find the different ways of making 8 or 9.”

“I liked making the play dough 8 and 9.”

“I have enjoyed everything.”

Good Afternoon. I can’t believe that is another week over already. We have been very busy this week.

In Literacy P1 have this week learned the sounds ‘t’ and ‘i’ and the tricky word the. We have made the letters with playdough, looked for them in a book, made a tiger mask, iced a biscuit and taught ted. We also made words on our magnetic boards using the letters learned so far. P2 have been revising the oi and oy sounds. We have looked for words in a word search, taught ted words with these sounds, played roll and read and searched for sounds in a story.

In Numeracy P1 have been learning about the numbers 6 and 7 We have made 6 and 7out of playdough, made families of 6 using our counting bears, completed an activity sheet all about 7 and drew a story of 7 in our jotters. P2 have been focusing on one to one correspondence and have been introduced to the greater than, less than and equals symbols. We have played higher or lower using playing cards, compared groups of objects depending on whether groups where greater than or less than and used to dice to compare numbers using the correct symbol.

In Health and Wellbeing this week we looked at resilience and spoke about how we have up moments and down moments. We then drew pictures of the things that make us feel happy and treasured. This week we have also been discussing and planning what we would like to learn about for our interdisciplinary topic. We have decided on the theme of animals and worked together to create a mind map of what we want to learn.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:

“I really enjoyed drawing things that make me happy.”

“I liked learning about the numbers 6 and 7.”

“I learned about Skipper in assembly today.”

“I liked learning about Skipper and his tools to help him be resilient.”

“I liked our learning of the oi and oy sounds.”

“I enjoyed learning our set 3 sounds this week.”

“I learned about Skipper too.”

“I enjoyed learning the sounds ‘t’ and ‘i’.”

Good Afternoon. P2/1 have settled in really well to our new routines. We have been having lots of fun getting to know each other and learning.

In Literacy P1 have this week learned the sounds ‘s’ and ‘d’ and the tricky word me. We have made the letters with playdough, looked for them in a book, made a finger painted snake and a dinosaur. P2 have been revising the ee and ea sound. We have looked for words in a word search, taught ted words with these sounds, played roll and read and completed graffiti spelling.

In Numeracy P1 have been learning about the numbers 2 and 3. We have made 2 and 3 out of playdough, made families of 3 using our counting bears, made towers of 2 and 3 using Lego and counted out buttons on a gingerbread man up to 5. P2 have been focusing on one more than and one less than within 10 then 20. We have found the number one more than and less than using number fans, numbers spinners and played a game using dice. We have completed missing number worksheets as well.

As a class we have been focusing on our wellbeing indicators. These are Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included. We have spoken about what these words mean to us and how we can be these things. We have drawn pictures to illustrate how we feel healthy, active, nurtured and included.

We explored using mime to take on a character when reading Rumble in the Jungle. We acted out the different animals found in the book and our friends had to guess what animal we were.

Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
“I enjoyed everything this week.”
“I learned how to write the letter d.”
“I learned to write the letters s and d.”
“I have been using the sounds ee and ea to write words.”
“I also enjoyed everything this week.”
“I enjoyed learning this week.”

Good afternoon. P2/1 will have P.E on a Monday and Wednesday. As P.E is outdoors at the moment the children can come to school dressed in their joggers, a white T-shirt or school polo shirt and a school sweatshirt. We have P.E for the first time tomorrow (Wednesday 19th August). Don’t forget to bring 2 water bottles.

Thank you for your continued support.
