In Numeracy and Maths, we have been learning to find numbers after, before and between with numbers to 20. We found numbers after and before on number lines, played ‘Eggs to Order’ on the computer, highlighted the numbers after on challenge cards and used our knowledge of after, before and between to sequence numbers. This week we have also been learning about pictograms. We played ‘Summer Fair’ on Education City and had to answer questions using pictograms. We also made our own pictograms.
This week our new sounds were ‘th’ and ‘wh’ and our new common words were ‘be’ and ‘she’. We played a memory game with ‘th’ words, made ‘th’ with loose parts, practised writing ‘th’ words and sentences and played ‘The Three Paths’ on Education City. When learning ‘wh’, we made ‘wh’ with play dough, drew ‘wh’ pictures and played a game to practise reading ‘wh’ words. We have also been writing some of our common words on our whiteboards.
This week we have been looking at non-fiction texts and talking about their features. We looked at the contents page, the labels and the photographs. For writing this week, we used our knowledge of cars to write our own car facts. We were able to use a capital letter, full stop and finger spaces. We knew lots of facts as we looked at photographs of cars from the past and we talked about how cars have changed through the years. Did you know that the first car only had space for two people? We also looked at how cars work and watched a video on how car engines work! On Friday we watched ‘Reach Out Reporter’ and listened to facts about hammerhead sharks and volcanoes. We have enjoyed learning through non-fiction texts and we will continue to look at different types of texts every week.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
