A very Happy New Year to all our families and friends.
The children have had a great first week back at school. Ready to learn and happy to be with their friends again and share their news and stories.
This week we have been learning the sounds w and y. We looked at forming the letters and also sounding out words that have the sounds in them.
For talking and Listening we shared news from our holidays and what we got up to.
We started our new topic ‘Our Local Area’ we discussed what we already knew about our area and what we would like to learn about.
We looked at a map of the UK and located Scotland on it. We looked at Google Earth and we found our School and some people found their houses. We looked at different types of houses learning their names and how they differ from each other. We drew some houses for our wall display. We also looked at different room in a house i.e. bathroom, bedroom, kitchen.
In maths and Numeracy this week we looked at the months of the year. We sang songs to try to help us remember the names. We were able to recall what month our birthday is in. We also looked at money. We played some money games on the Ipad and we learned the names of the coins. We used 1p coins to make amounts within 10p to buy items.
We spoke about New Year Resolutions and we all decided to try and do something for the New Year either at home or in school. We wrote a prayer to ask God to bless us all this new year.
Well done to Bradley our Hot Chocolate winner this week!
