This week we have been revising adding numbers to 5 and we have been learning addition facts for 6. We played with dominoes and looked for the dominoes which made 6, explored different ways to make 6 in our workbooks and played ‘Save the Whale’ on the smartboard. We needed to know our number bonds to 6 to save the whale!
On Thursday, we continued to look at reading o’clock times on analogue and digital clocks. We played ‘Hour Hero’ on Education City, played o’clock Bingo and matched written, analogue and digital o’clock times. We have also been learning songs about the days of the week and the months of the year.
Next week is our Christmas Nativity, ‘A Little Nativity’. There is lots of excitement in our class! This week we drew detailed line drawings of sheep for our hall decorations. We used paint, cotton wool, glitter and tinsel to make our sheep. Look out for our hall decorations next week! We have been participating extremely well in our songs and we are looking forward to performing for audiences.
This week our new sounds were ‘l’ and ‘c’. When learning about the ‘l’ sound, we played ‘l’ Bingo with words and pictures, practised writing ‘l’ and ‘l’ words, drew ‘l’ pictures and played ‘Lovely Lollipops’ on Education City. When learning about the ‘c’ sound, we made ‘c’ with jewels, pebbles and counters, made ‘c’ with rainbow writing and made a ‘c’ graffiti wall. On Friday we had a turn of being the teacher! We used Miss Harrison’s magnetic letter board on the smartboard to show the rest of our class ‘l’ and ‘c’ words! We have also been learning to read and write our common words. This week our common words were ‘he’, ‘me’ and ‘is’. We played ‘Beat the Teacher’ and we were able to read our common words so Miss Harrison didn’t get any points!
Thank you for reading our blog post.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
