We have been learning vowel sounds and names this week. We have been singing vowel songs, practicing the vowels in lots of different ways, identifying vowels in written words and listening for vowels in CVC words as we write them.
In numeracy, we have been learning number bonds for 4 and 5. We played number bond games on the smartboard and used cubes, counting kids and playdough to layout our addition sums. We also write our sums on whiteboards and in our maths books.
On Thursday we were learning about time. We sang two songs about days of the week – we really liked the one to the ‘Adam’s Family’ theme tune 🙂 We were reading o’clock times on digital and analogue clocks. We were really good at it and picked it up really well. We will continue with time next Thursday.
We have been working hard decorated Christmas baubles for a display in Tesco window. We drew our favourite Christmas things on the bauble and coloured them brightly. They are now on display so have a look if you are in. There is a small picture below.
G brought in his Enjoy-a-Ball trophy to show us. He told us that he was throwing a ball and Paul Pizza said he wasn’t doing it the right way and showed him a better way to do it, then G worked really hard to get it right – great resilience! Well done G!
On Friday, at assembly, we learned that we had won the ‘peg challenge’ the week, collecting the most pegs for walking quietly as we move around the school. We will have an extra 5 minutes breaktime on Monday as a reward.
Have a lovely weekend, from P1B and Mrs Kennedy
