This week we finished learning our number bonds to 10 and completed our work on how to solve missing number equations. We have started to look at numbers to 20. We began with counting to 20 and sequencing the numbers to 20. We put our number pebbles in the correct sequence, found missing numbers on a number line, played a sequencing game on the smartboard and completed dot to dot patterns to 20.
This week our new sounds were ‘y’ and ‘z’. We were very excited as we have now learned all of our initial sounds! We made ‘y’ with play dough and rainbow writing, practised writing uppercase and lowercase letters, made our own yellow submarines and played ‘Yellow Yo-Yo’ on Education City. When learning about ‘z’, we made ‘z’ with shells and wooden blocks, practised writing ‘z’ with colourful pens, wrote ‘z’ and ‘z’ words on our whiteboards and made our own buzzing bees!
This week we started to talk about what we already know about transport. We knew that there are lots of different types of vehicles, that transport takes you anywhere you want to go, that tractors have lots of engine parts and that some cars run on oil or electricity. We then told Miss Harrison what we would like to learn about transport. In pairs, we worked together to make houses and different types of transport for our classroom display. We used our cutting skills to cut out different shapes and used a variety of materials to make our display. Doesn’t it look great! We have also started to turn our role play area into a transport museum. We have a ticket office, an area to learn about transport and we even have a café!
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
