This week our new sounds were ‘ou’ and ‘ow’. When learning the ‘ou’ sound, we wrote ‘ou’ words in clouds, made ‘ou’ words with play dough, played ‘Mouse in the House’ on Education City and completed an ‘ou’ spelling activity. We also wrote ‘ou’ sentences in our literacy jotters. When learning the ‘ow’ sound, we made ‘ow’ words in hoops, wrote ‘ow’ words in cows, practised writing ‘ow’ words and sentences on our whiteboards, played an ‘ow’ words pairs game and played Roll and Read.
In Numeracy and Maths this week we have been continuing to learn our subtraction facts to 10. We looked at subtracting 1 and 2 from a number and we learned subtraction facts involving 0. We completed subtraction sums on trains, used our subtraction facts to colour a fish, practised subtraction sums on our whiteboards, completed subtraction to 10 sums on subtraction cards, played ‘Rabbit Takeaway’ and worked on our subtraction workbooks.
On Thursday, we continued to look at using 1p, 2p and 5p coins to buy items. We ordered coins according to their value, used coins to buy items in a shop, played ‘Ice Cream’ on Education City, sorted coins and completed a coin addition activity in our money workbooks.
This week we looked at the story ‘George Saves The World By Lunchtime’ as part of our Global Citizenship focus. Miss Hardie read us the story and we discussed ways that George saved the world such as recycling, travelling by bike, saving electricity and re-using materials. We looked at different objects in our talking tub and talked about how these different objects helped to save the world. Finally, we looked at writing to convey ideas and messages and we wrote statements about how we could save the world.
On Friday we had our class assembly. It was on transport and journeys. We told our audience all about transport from the past, our trip to Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway and we reflected on our P1 journey so far. Everyone was incredibly proud of us. We spoke clearly to the audience, our behaviour was fantastic and we sang our song beautifully. Thank you to everyone who came to support us today.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely long weekend!
P1A, Miss Harrison and Miss Hardie 🙂
