This week we have started to learn our initial sounds. We have been working very hard to read, make, say and write the ‘a’ sound and the ‘t’ sound. On Wednesday, we used our new sounds to build a word! We were able to make, say and write ‘at’. To learn our sounds, we used play dough, played ICT games, made our sounds with paint and practised writing our sounds with rainbow writing, graffiti walls and whiteboards.
On Friday, we had our first visit to the school library. We will go to the library every Friday so that we can choose texts from a wide range of genres.
In numeracy this week, we have been continuing to work on our number formation. We revised writing 0-2 and learned about the number 3. We used jewels, counters and Lego to make 3, practised formation on the car mats, smartboard and whiteboards and used pipe cleaners to make the number 3.
This week we continued to learn about 3D shapes. We played 3D shape games on the smartboard and laptops, used 3D shapes to build, used our play dough to make 3D shapes and used our multilinking cubes to make different cubes and cuboids. During our outdoor play on Wednesday, we used our construction materials to make cubes, cuboids and triangular prisms!
On Friday we found out that we won Class of the Week! As a reward, we got five minutes extra play time. Later on Friday we also found out that we won the peg challenge! Miss Harrison was extremely proud of us.
Thank you very much for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
