In Phonics this week we learned 2 new digraphs – ‘th’ and ‘wh’. Our common words were ‘she’ and ‘be’.
We know that ‘th’ is the rude sound, we have to stick out our tongue a little bit to make this sound. We are getting good at telling the difference between ‘f’ and ‘th’.
The ‘wh’ sound is often used at the start of a question word (when, where, why, which). Some of us had a go at writing a question, very impressive!
In Numeracy we have been continuing our work on subtraction. We are getting more confident at selecting strategies to solve subtraction sums. We loved the subtraction bus game:
In Maths we started learning about money. We learned the value of each coin and explored what each coin looks and feels like.
A simple activity to do at home is to tip out your purse/wallet and let children sort coins. Also, here’s a good online resource to play:

On Monday and Tuesday afternoon we started our new IDL topic – the history of transport. We are very excited about this and can’t wait to learn more. If we have any transport experts or parents/family members who work in this industry, we’d love to hear from you!
We met Mrs McAulay this week, she will be with us again next Tuesday afternoon and is enjoying getting to know all of us.
Here are some photos of our free play this week, we enjoyed exploring ice and snow on Tuesday:
Have a great weekend!
Love P1B and Mrs Bell x
