This week in literacy we have been learning 3 ways to make the c sound (c, k and ck). We did really well working out which was which and we realised that ck will mostly be at the end of words. We found the formation of the k quite tricky as we use the version with a curl on the k. Our new tricky words were he and me and we often see those in our reading books.
In numeracy we continued our number bonds for 4, 5 and 6. We were working out all the different ways we can make 4, 5 and 6. We found a pattern, to know how many ways you add 1 to the number, eg to make 4 there are 5 ways, to make 5 there are 6 ways. We also enjoyed using the switcher to make the numbers eg 4+2=6 and 2+4=6. We were also exploring different ways to show addition using chalk, numicon and playdough.
Our Nativity is coming along very nicely and the children have been working very hard on this. We have assigned all parts today, and don’t think we need anything from home for the P1 costumes. We have also been making our crafts for the Christmas Fayre, both of these things are secret for now…
In French we learnt more colours – now we know bleu, blanc, rouge, vert, orange, violet and jaune.
We had great fun this morning during our BEAR (Be excited about reading) event. We closed the blinds, switched off the lights and read our books using torches.
Happy weekend, Mrs Gordon and P1a.
