Awesome Autumn

A big welcome back to everyone this week. We are all feeling refreshed after the holidays and ready for an exciting term ahead.

In Literacy this week we were learning the ‘g’ and ‘f’ sounds. We have continued to practise our word building and next week we are going to start learning some tricky words.

In Numeracy we were introduced to the concept of addition. We were combining 2 sets and counting how many altogether. We did lots of practical activities to consolidate this. We counted fir cones, pasta, cubes, rocks and even children!

The next 2 weeks we will be doing some Outdoor Learning and looking at seasonal changes. We talked a lot about changes that we see in Autumn and went on an Autumn scavenger hunt. We then looked at hibernating animals. We collected some leaves and made hedgehogs collages. Here we are pretending to hibernate like some of the animals we learnt about.

A few points to remember:

• Next Tuesday is our Halloween Disco so children can bring their costumes to school.
• Children can buy a poppy in school for Remembrance Day if they wish
• P1 Dental inspections next week
• Please put names on all hats, gloves, scarves etc…. as it is getting colder and we do not want items getting lost
• 3 Tricky words will be sent out each week in sound bags.
• New reading books to be sent out on Monday

Have a lovely weekend
