This week we have been learning to copy, continue and create patterns. We looked at the patterned elephants in the story ‘Elmer’ and then we made our own patterns using colours, 2D shapes, counters and Lego bricks. We also played pattern games on the smartboard and made our own patterned Elmers.
Now that we have finished learning how to write our numbers to 10, we have been using our knowledge of numbers to count out a given number of objects and record the results. We have enjoyed playing different counting games and practising making and writing all of our numbers from 0 to 10.
Miss Baillie held an ‘Owl Babies’ story-telling session and then challenged us to make our own owl babies for her Literacy competition. We used lots of materials such as cotton wool, crepe paper and tissue paper to make our own owl babies. We worked very hard with our owls. Don’t they look fantastic!
This week our new sounds were ‘m’ and ‘r’. We used play dough to make our sounds and practised writing our sounds with rainbow writing, in salt, on the whiteboards and in our workbooks. We drew ‘m’ and ‘r’ pictures and we played bingo! Using our new sounds, we were able to build and write words such as ‘mat’, ‘map’, ‘rat’ and ‘rip’.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
