In Literacy this week we learned the sound j and v:
j – down the Jack in a box’s body, curl. Dot for the head.
v – down the vulture’s wing, up the wing
J is quite tricky because we can get it muddled with i and form the curl the wrong way. Remember that the j has a tail that goes past the line. We also learned two new common words – put, was.

In Numeracy we worked on addition pairs to 6, 7 and 8. We are getting very good at forming numbers the correct way round and writing addition sums correctly. We also worked on addition using numicon:
Admin for next week (it’s a busy one!):
If you haven’t already got your tickets for the Nativity, please return the ticket letter slip on Monday, dojo me if you need another ticket letter.
Costumes in a labelled bag to be handed in by Tuesday – please refer to the Nativity information Sheet – not all children need to hand costume in. All children know their parts.
Tuesday – Nativity rehearsal at the church. We will be leaving as soon as we have done the register and ordered lunches. Please send children with a waterproof coat and a small bag to carry their water and a snack in. We will be back in time for school lunches so no need for a packed lunch.
Thursday – Christmas jumper day and Christmas lunch
Friday – Christmas Fayre 9am-12
Happy weekend (26 sleeps until Christmas!),
Love P1B and Mrs Bell x
