This week in Literacy we have continued our revision of the sounds and tricky words we have learned this term. We have worked through a number of phoneme challenges, identifying words with the correct phoneme in them and blending the words together. In Dictation, we have been writing sentences incorporating a variety of digraph words. We are getting better at remembering capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
In Numeracy we have continued to learn about numbers to 20. We have been sharing strategies of how to keep track when counting a set of items and have also been working on identifying numbers between 0 and 20, using a number line to help us. We have continued to practise writing our numbers to 20.
Within our Transport topic we have been working in groups to design and build futuristic modes of transport. We talked about the past, present and future and how things change over time. We looked at pictures of transport from the past and present, discussed how these had changed and how they might change in the future. Each group drew a picture of their chosen mode of transport, used the picture to help build a model and then presented their model to the class. There were some fantastic features of our futuristic transport including a hot air balloon fuelled by angel cakes, a rainbow aeroplane and an aeroplane/double decker bus combo which was almost taller than the children who made it!
We also had a trip to the park this week and had great fun playing together with P1a. Many of us showed resilience when trying to climb up or down and bravery when riding on the flying fox!
We have had a very busy term, working hard and learning lots!
Have a lovely Easter holiday!
