Another busy week in P1B! We have been learning the spelling patterns ‘oa’ and ‘ow’. We have been practising these sounds inside and outside – even though the weather wasn’t very kind to us we didn’t mind and we are remembering the sounds really well as we remember the activities we did outside. The different environment meant that different senses were heightened than those we use inside and this helps us to learn.
We have been counting in 2s a lot! Not just at numeracy time but also at lots of different times during the day to help us to become very familiar with counting in this way. We made ‘even number aliens’ every part of their bodies had to be an even number, drawing these made us think carefully about even numbers and we counted in 2s as we drew. Here are some of our creations:
Mrs Kennedy read us a funny story called ‘The Badly Behaved Bus’ he was very naughty – he went through puddles and splashed people, didn’t stop at the bus stop and drove straight over roundabouts. We made Wanted posters to let everyone else know about him. We wrote very good sentences and some of us were using ‘and’ as a joining word to allow us to write even longer sentences.
In PE, we continued to pracitse our tennis skills. We were trying hard with our hand-eye coordination, throwing the ball at first and then hitting it with a racket. We know that good tennis players are in control of the ball so we were careful to hit it gently and accurately rather than really hard. We’re getting really quite good.
Have a good weekend.
P1B and Mrs Kennedy
