Dragon writing in P1a

Literacy

P1a were very busy this week when we did our first piece of writing. We decided to write to our dragon visitor. The first thing we had to do was close our eyes and imagine what our dragon looked like…we then told our partners and went on to draw the dragon. After that we wrote a sentence about our dragon. Some of us had some great ideas like “my dragon is confident”, and “my dragon shoots fire”. Everyone of us had a try at writing the sounds they could hear in the words we wrote. Mrs Gordon was very impressed with our work.

Our new sounds for this week were e like egg and h like hat. We love the rhyme for h as we get to hop around.

Numeracy

We revised our numbers to 10 and were able to count forwards and backwards and order them with ease. Mrs Gordon was very proud. Next week we move on to more and less and after the holidays to addition.

In shape we started to learn 3D shapes, this was very tricky. We learnt cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder and pyramid. We then had to sort objects into their shape. We are finding it hard to know when it is a rectangle or a cuboid. Maybe we could practise with shapes around our house.

French

In French this week with Camembear we learnt how to say how we are. The question is ca va? and we can answer ca va bien (feeling good), comme ci comme ca (ok) or ca va mal (not feeling good). Everyone managed to tell Mrs Gordon how they were feeling.

HWB

In PE we are continuing balancing skills with Mrs Reid. We had to balance on benches and the horse. We also had a session with the P7 sports leaders where we did a circuit course. It was really fun.

The value we focused on this week was resilience. We loved hearing a story about Zid the alien and how he was trying to make the best dress in the world. Each time he had to listen to his friends and make a change to improve it. We talked about times when we had been resilient, and shared it with the class.

If anyone has any little bits of green fabric/material in the house could you please send in for next week. We are making a beanstalk for Fairyland and it works particularly well with different textures and materials. Thank you!

Happy weekend, Mrs Gordon and P1a
