Welcome back to P1A!

Welcome back to the final term of P1A. We have had a busy first week back at school!

This week we learned the ‘oo’ sound. We drew ‘oo’ pictures, made ‘oo’ looking glasses, made ‘oo’ words with Cheerios and play dough, looked for ‘oo’ words with magnifying glasses and played ‘Big Cook Book’ on Education City. We also practised writing our common words.

     

On Tuesday we went on our first school trip to Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway (Please see our separate blog post about our trip). On Wednesday and Thursday we looked at the photographs from our trip and we wrote a report using words such as ‘first’, ‘then’, ‘next’ and ‘finally’. We were able to write the events in order and use capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and joining words. We worked very hard with our writing and we included lots of detail.

In Numeracy and Maths, we looked at ordinal numbers. We stood in a line and worked out who was first, second, third, fourth and fifth. Then we ordered ordinal number cards, raced cars and awarded them with medals, played ‘Tractor Race’ on Education City, completed an ordinal numbers transport cut and stick activity and coloured in animals according to their ordinal number.

This week we also looked at the story ‘The Snail and the Whale’. We looked at the rhyming words in the text and we also talked about the characters, events and ideas in the story. The snail and the whale were good friends and helped each other. On Monday afternoon we completed different activities relating to the story. Some of us wrote letters to the snail or the whale to thank them for being helpful, some of us used paint and paper plates to make snails, some of us used glitter paint and practised our common words using glitter trails and some of us made spirals with play dough and loose parts.

Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.

P1A, Miss Harrison and Miss Hardie 🙂
