Another busy week in P1M. This week we were learning 2 new phonics sounds – ch and sh. Here are the songs we have been learning to help us remember these sounds.

We have been completing lots of activities based around these sounds. We really enjoyed using the magnetic letters and boards this week to work on our spelling. Did you see Kerr’s tweet on our twitter page? Follow us Saint Ninians page – @StNinianPS and Miss Meechan’s page – @missm_stnps
We try our hardest to upload a few tweets each week.
We have been loving the start to our hockey block in PE. This week we started to transfer our skills of hockey into matches. With Miss Meechan we participated in a fun game to work on our dribbling skills. Can you spot the champions of this game?!
As we are getting better and better at reading we are beginning to work more on our understanding and comprehension skills in reading. We have been using ‘blooms buttons’ for 2 weeks now. These are tricky questions which we relate to our reading book and work on our higher order thinking skills. We have also been completing written comprehension tasks too. We are super stars! Have a look at some of the questions we have been working on this week – you could work on these questions at home too. Check out twitter next week for a sneak peak of our ‘blooms buttons’ questions next week.
It was also a fun week too. On Tuesday we topped some pancakes with our favourite toppings. We were learning all about Pancake Day and why people eat pancakes on this day. On Wednesday we all received our ashes at our Ash Wednesday Service. We know that Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and Lent is the preparation for Easter. We have been thinking about what our Lenten Promise could be and we have put these on display in our classroom. Have a look next time you are in.
We had a super literacy themed day for World Book Day. Did you see our tweet about our learning? What super costumes from everyone! We based our learning on two stories this week, both by Julia Donaldson. ‘Room on the Broom’ and ‘Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book’. Have a look for these on youtube.
Here are some links we have been using this week to enhance our learning:
