Happy New Year and welcome back to our P1A blog! We have had a busy first week back at school.
This week our two new sounds were ‘qu’ and ‘x’ and our common words were ‘want’, ‘saw’ and ‘no’. We drew ‘qu’ pictures and made ‘qu’ words on graffiti walls, practised writing ‘qu’ words on our whiteboards, made ‘qu’ with play dough and played ‘Queen’s Quiz’ on Education City. When we were learning the ‘x’ sound, we practised writing ‘x’ with rainbow writing, played ‘Roll and Read’ and drew our own ‘x’ pictures. We also wrote ‘qu’ and ‘x’ words and sentences in our jotters. To learn our common words, we also played a pairs game on the smartboard, practised writing our common words on our whiteboards and played ‘Beat The Teacher’.
When Miss Baillie and Mr Wells came into our classroom this week they couldn’t believe that we were learning to solve missing number equations in maths and numeracy! We have been working really hard to find the missing number in our addition sums. We played Hexabonds on the smartboard, found the missing numbers on challenge cards and revised our number bonds for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
This term our gym day will be on a Thursday. On Thursday afternoon, we went to the Community Wing hall to practise our motor skills. We were jumping, hopping, skipping, balancing, kicking, throwing and catching. We had to listen carefully to instructions, use the equipment correctly, share with others and take turns.
This week we have been talking about our school values. We decided to make a Values display in our classroom and took photographs of us doing the action for each value. Our school values are resilient, respectful, kind, confident and included. Can you guess which is which?
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
