P1D Update

We have had another busy week in P1D. On Thursday we had to look after Ninian the Minion for the day because Mrs Purdie wasn’t in her office and we were worried that he might get lonely. He had a very busy day in our class.

First of all, Ninian had to order his lunch. He wanted the blue tray for his lunch.

During our soft start he was playing in the office.

He joined in with our circle time and he was very impressed with all of the describing words we were using to describe our dinosaurs. He heard super words like ‘dangerous’ ‘colourful’ ‘spotty’ ‘stripey’ ‘spikey’ ‘lovely’ ‘happy’ ‘nice’.

Ninian then helped Mara to write her story about a dinosaur using some of the super describing words.

After we all had finished our writing, Ninian wanted to listen to everyone read their stories to the class. He loved listening to the super describing words in our stories.

This week we have been looking at different dot patterns in numeracy and talking about how we can see the dots. You could try this at home too using dots, stickers, grapes etc. Arrange them out in a random order and ask your child how many they can see? Then ask how do you see them? If you lay out 4 dots, they may be laid out with 1 at the top and 3 at the bottom. This game also helps us with this:

We have been learning the ‘s’ and ‘p’ sounds this week. Here are the songs we have used to help us enhance our learning of these sounds. S is a blue sound and p is a pink sound. Ask your child why these sounds are these particular colours?
