P1B weekly blog

It’s been another busy week for Primary 1B.

 

In phonics we have been learning 2 new sounds the ‘s’ sound and the ‘p’ sound.

Hannah- The ‘s’ sound is blue because You feel ‘s’ at the tip of your tongue.
The tip sound is blue because we have two blue veins under our tongue.

This is a stretchy sound which you will feel sizzling at the tip of your tongue.

This song really helped us this week with the ‘s’ sound.

The next sound we learned was the ‘p’ sound.
Micah- “It is a lip sound”
and
Alasdair – “It is a quiet sound.”

Abigail- “The quiet, lip sounds are pink.”

You can feel your lips quietly popping when you say the ‘p’ sound.

Why not practise this song at home to help you with the P sound.

On the smart board Miss Boyes showed us a picture of different objects we had to tell her if it started with a S or a P and then we had to tell Miss Boyes which part of our mouth made this sound. We checked if we were correct.

We sorted the objects that began with ‘s’ into the blue tray and the objects that began with ‘p’ into the pink tray.

Also in literacy we have been writing simple descriptions for our dinosaurs, we began by drawing a picture of a dinosaur and then we spoke about how our dinosaur looked with our friends.

Cooper- “My dinosaur has horns.”
Abu bakr- “My dinosaur has stripes.”
Annabelle- “My dinosaur is green with spots.”

For our short read we  have made a front cover for Harry and the dinosaurs. We were learning the title, author and illustrator.

We tried to use the sounds which we know so far in our writing and when we can hear a sound but we aren’t sure what it is we draw a squiggly line.

In numeracy this week we have been learning the numbers 7, 8 and 9.

We have been using the rhymes to help us remember our number formation.

Thea- 7- “Across the sky and down from heaven, now I’ve made the number seven.”

Yasmin 8 – “Around the gate, around the gate. Now I’ve made the number 8.”
Riley 9- “Make an oval and add a line. Now I have the number 9.”

We had a special grab bag this week. We got to put our hand in the bag and choose a number card. Once we had our number we had to find that number of cubes and lay them out.

 

Abu bakr- “In measure we were learning about the words “heaviest and lightest”.

Jiya- “We stood on the scales to find out how much we weighed.”

Cooper- “We had to look at the pictures and tick the heaviest.”

We loved making dinosaur masks, we had to use our cutting skills to cut out the dinosaur and then we coloured it in. Once we had coloured our dinosaur we got to choose different craft materials to glue onto our mask.
They are going to look amazing on the wall and I’m sure all of the teachers will get a fright when they walk by our dinosaur masks.

On Thursday we got to spend time doing structured play activities with our buddies. This was our chance to share our learning about our topic “Harry and the dinosaurs.” The buddies also taught us how to play snakes and ladders and they helped us write in our talking book.

Leon- “I enjoyed playing with my buddy.”

Amelia- “I liked playing dinosaur dress up with my buddy”.

Christopher- “I liked playing snakes and ladders with my buddies.”

Another fantastic week in P1B! Hope you all have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P1B.
