This week we have been learning the ‘-y’, ‘oa’ and ‘ow’ sounds. We matched ‘oa’ words and pictures, highlighted ‘oa’ words in the story ‘Oakley the Toad’, played ‘Goat Load’ on Education City and practised writing ‘oa’ words and sentences on our whiteboards and in our literacy jotters. When we were learning the ‘ow’ sound we played ‘ow’ bingo, wrote ‘ow’ words with rainbow chalk, made ‘oa’ and ‘ow’ words with sounds in hoops and played an ‘oa’ and ‘ow’ Snakes and Ladders game.
On Monday afternoon Miss Harrison read us a story called ‘The Badly Behaved Bus’. We spoke to our chatty partners about all the things that the bus did that were naughty. We made Wanted posters to try and catch the badly behaved bus. We used a title, included a picture of the badly behaved bus and wrote a sentence about what he was wanted for. Can you believe that he drove over roundabouts and ruined the flowers and soaked people with puddles! We were able to use a joining word in our sentences and we worked really hard on our posters.
In Numeracy and Maths, we have been learning to count in 2s. We looked at counting in 2s and using even numbers. We painted the even numbers on our Splat Square, ordered even number pebbles, found the missing even numbers, played ‘Deep Discoveries’ on Education City and we made our own Mr Even characters! We have started to look at odd numbers but we will continue to practise counting on in 2s and finding odd and even numbers next week.
On Thursday we went to the Community Wing to continue to practise our movement skills. We were able to share with others and take turns and we worked really well together in our teams. Well done to our fantastic gymnasts who took part in the ‘Linlithgow School of Gymnastics’ show last weekend.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
P1A and Miss Harrison 🙂
