Hello, We have been learning the sounds ‘m’ and ‘r’ this week, ask your child to show you the action for each of these. We have been using our magnetic boards a few times this week and we are getting good at working together to sound out and word build some CVC words. Our letter formation is really coming on too and Mrs Kennedy can see a big difference in our writing books.
A couple of weeks ago Miss Baillie took an ‘Owl Babies’ assembly where she set us the challenge of decorating an owl baby to be entered into a competition. She will choose the best three from P1 to P3 to receive a prize. All of ours are excellent 🙂 We chose from a variety of art materials – paint, cotton wool, tissue paper, crepe paper, crayons and pens and decorated them in the way we wanted. Our pictures are very good, they will come home soon for you to see.
In maths we have now covered all the numbers to 10, we have practised formation and counting objects accurately. We will be moving onto ordering forwards and backwards and missing numbers. In outer maths this week we have been exploring pattern. We have created our own patterns, continued patterns already started and identified patterns. We have been listening for patterns too as we use our voices, e.g., “red, yellow, green, red, yellow, green…” hearing the pattern as we say the words. We will continue to look at more complex patterns next week.
Have a good weekend, if you are out and about and see any signs of Autumn, conkers, leaves, berries, etc, feel free to send them in to school. We have an ‘investigation area’ in the corridor with magnifying glasses and a drawing area and any interesting objects are very welcome. Thank you.
