P1B weekly news

Hello everyone!

 

We have learned 2 new sounds this week.

Lucy- “We learned the o sound.”

Shakti- “The o sound is black because we go through the tunnel to the vowel house.”

Lily- “We make a circle with our mouth when we make the o sound”

 

Connor- “It lives in the vowel house and in the story we try to put the light on because it is dark but the light is broken.”

 

Emilie- “We learned the e sound this week.”

Joshua- “e is also a black sound which lives through the tunnel in the vowel house.”

Lewis- “The Mummy is cracking the eggs in the kitchen of the vowel house.”

Here are the song we used to practise saying our sounds.

In writing this week we watched a clip of a boy with a book that came to life. We then used our imagination to write about what we would like to come out of a book.

We had lots of lovely ideas-

Adam “Chocolate cake and a rainbow would come out of my book.”

Shakti “I wanted cute bunny rabbits to come out of my book.”

Szymon- “I wanted a cake to come out of my book.”

 

Well done to our star writers Liam and Joshua we are very proud of you for trying hard to give your writing a go on your own and remembering to have a capital letter, full stop, finger spaces and use your sounds.

In numeracy we started our addition topic.

Joshua- “We have been learning the language add, plus and equals.”

Isla- “We used dominoes to add the dots on each side and then we had to write the sum on a whiteboard.”

 

We played a dice addition game, we had to roll 2 dice and then add the dots together.

 

We have been working hard to count on. If we see 2 + 3=

Instead of counting 1, 2 we just say 2 and then count on 3, 4, 5 to get the answer. We have also been practising this in number talks using the rekenreks when counting the beads. This is a quicker strategy.

We liked listening and responding to this song.

In Spanish we have been learning how to respond to Spanish phrases which Miss Boyes uses during our daily routine.

We have been learning the words ¡Escuchad! – Which means to listen and ¡Mirad!- Which means to look.

We now know that “!Haced la fila!” means to line up.

 

Thanks to Primary 3 for coming to show us how to use our netbooks, we loved the instructions which you wrote.

Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 1B
