This week in P1B we have been learning more sounds.
Jiya- “We have learned the a sound.”
Micah- “and the t sound.”
Abu bakr- “The a sound is a black tunnel sound.”
Thea- “The a sound lives in the Vowel House at the end of the tunnel.”
Hannah- “You have to open your mouth wide to say this sound.”
Abigail- “The t sound is blue because it is a tongue tip sound.”
Alasdair- “T is a short, bouncy sound.”
We loves singing the songs to help us learn our sounds.

This week was maths week and we enjoyed taking part in different maths activities.
Our maths activities were learning our number bonds to 10 using the hand frames.
Annabelle- “We had to make 10 with the dinosaurs.”
You had to choose to add on 1, 2, or 3 dinosaurs each time and the first person to get to 10 was the winner.
For the three block tower game
Abigail- “you had to make tower blocks with 3 cubes but they had to be different and then you coloured the blocks in on your sheet.”
Abu bakr- At another station we “used the colourful beads to make shapes.”
For measure this week we have been learning the meaning of the words
Christopher- “full”, “half full” and “empty”.
Cooper- “If it’s full the water will be all the way to the top of the bottle.”
Riley- “The water would be to the middle when it is half full.”
Leon- “If the bottle is empty that means that there is no water.”
We filled bottles to make potions with Miss Boyes and we glued crepe paper onto bottle templates to show the different amounts.
On the smart board we enjoyed playing this game

For science this week we went into the hall with the musical instruments.
Yasmin- “We were finding out how to make quiet sounds and loud sounds.”
Micah- “To make a loud sound with the tambourine you would shake it very quickly.”
Amelia- “If you were making a quiet sound with the tambourine you would shake it slowly.”
Jiya- “If you were hitting a drum to make a loud sound you would hit it hard.”
Yasmin- “If you were hitting the drum to make a quiet sound then you would hit it softly and gently.”
For RE we listened to the creation story.
Hannah- “God made the world in 6 days and on the 7th day he took a nap to rest.”
We went into the school garden to find things that God created and we took photos with the ipads.
God created the-
Christopher “moon and the sun.”
Cooper “Animals”.
Annabelle- “Trees and plants.”
Abu bakr- “ The land and the water.”
This s the creation story video which we watched in class.
We loved going to mass this week at the Lanthorn with our Buddies. We sang hymns, prayed and listened to Father Kenneth.
Have a lovely long weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 1B!
Lots of lovely comments from lots of boy’s and girls, but I found the information that you shared about God and what he created really interesting… We sometimes forget what’s so precious around us. I heard you were all absolutely wonderful at mass, well done. Really love all your lovely ,happy smiling faces….again.!! primary one is really a happy , fun place. When I first spoke to some of the boys and girls about what they liked best in P1 they said playtime, but now lots of them are talking about what they have done in the classroom, now that’s fantastic . Miss Boyes your fab.! X
