This week we have been learning all about our P and N sounds. Now we have learnt 4 sounds we have started to build words eg. tap, tan, nap. We learnt how to read words too. We sound them out and then blend the sounds together. For our P sound we used popcorn and pasta to make a P. We did some pompom painting. We made the letter ‘N’ out of newspaper!
In Numeracy we were learning all about the numbers 3, 4 and 5. We read stories about these numbers and did lots of fun activities to help us learn them. We played connect 4, matched the giant dominoes and learnt little rhymes to help us with our number formation. We also started learning our 2D shapes. We looked at the different features and played games outside to identify shapes. We then used the stones and sticks to make some of the 2D shapes we had learnt.
This week we launched our topic for this term. We came back to class and found a trail of glitter leading to a letter. We were all so excited!! Who could it be from?
Mrs McAulay read out the letter and it was from a friendly dragon. He had a problem because his home (Fairyland) had been destroyed and he asked us to help him. We came up with lots of ideas and we started to build a home for all of the Fairyland characters in our classroom. We read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and built Jack his very own beanstalk. Firstly we went outside and collected leaves to look at the different colours. We then used crayons to design our own leaves. Then we twisted paper to create the stalk. We used cotton wool to make the clouds.
The infant classes have all been doing some work for Miss Baillie’s display on Beatrix Potter. Today we talked about the different vegetables Mr McGregor might grow in his garden. We then used them to to do some vegetable printing pictures.
Another busy week in P1B!
We hope you all have a great weekend.
