We have had another busy week in P1D. Here are some of our highlights:
In literacy we have been learning some sounds. We were learning the ‘m’ and ‘c’ sounds. We were learning about the name of these letters, what sound they make and where about in our mouth we make these sounds from. The m sound comes from our lips. We put jam on our lips and made the ‘mmmm’ sound because the jam was tasty! It turned our lips red. This helped us to learn that sounds that come from the lips are red sounds. The ‘c’ sound is a yellow sound. It comes from the back of our mouth. We had to shine a torch in our mouths to see all the way to the back. The torch turned the back of our mouth yellow. We also learned some songs to help us remember these sounds. You could practise these at home too.

We also started our book study topic ‘Harry and the Dinosaurs’. We have enjoyed listening to 2 of the Harry and the Dinosaur stories so far. In one of the stories there is a boy called Jack-osaurus. We thought that this was a good name so we decided to draw and paint our own dinosaurs and give them names too. Here are some of our names:
Shea’s dinosuar is called ‘Shea-osaurus’
Pati’s dinosaur is called ‘Pati dinosaur’
Roma’s dinosaur is called ‘Love Heart-osaurus’
Freya’s dinosaur is called ‘Mummy-osaurus’
In one of the Harry and the Dinosaur books, Harry starts school. Some of his friends are feeling excited, others are feeling sad, nervous and shy. We spoke about how we were feeling starting school and if we were feeling nervous and sad what we could do to make ourselves feel better.
In numeracy we were learning the correct formation for numbers 5, 6 and 7. Here are the rhymes and sayings we used to help us.
5 – “the neck, the tummy and the hat”
6 – “bend to low to pick up sticks, now I’ve made the number 6.”
7 – “across the sky and down from heave, now I’ve made the number 7.”
We also started ‘number talks’ this week. We were looking at different patterns of dots and talking about how many spots we could see and how we saw them.
When we saw 6 spots Carter told us:”3 dots at the top and 3 dots at the bottom is 6.”
Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday.
