P1B weekly news

This week we learned the f and b sound.

Connor- “I know how to form this sound because you draw around the flamingos neck then draw a line down to the flamingos feet and lastly a line across his body.”

 

Emilie- “F is pink because it is a quiet lip sound.”

Adam- “The b sound is a lip sound but it is not pick it is red.”

Lucy- “It is red because it is a loud sound.”

Liam- “The p hangs under the line and the b sound sits on the line.”

Khlya- “f is curved at the top but t has a curve at the bottom.”

We have been learning how to write words with our sounds and have been identifying the which sound is at the beginning, middle and end.

Here are the songs which we have been listening to this week to help us learn our sounds.

We were excited to start word boost this week. We were introduced to 4 new boost words and their meaning. We have been completing activities which help us remember the meaning of the words. Can you listen for the words in the story?

We enjoyed learning our words at home too with our parent postcards.

We have been learning how to count on when adding. During number talks we have been sharing strategies for adding numbers together and have been finding out the quickest and easiest ways to add. We are trying to hold the  number in our heads and count on.

 

We have enjoyed playing different types of games in our plenaries to show what we know.

Try this game at home.

In Art this week we learned about different types of lines- long, thick, thin, wavy and broken.

We used lines to draw pictures of the train station near our school. We wanted to include other features of our local environment so we decided to draw the river Almond and hills.

Isla- “You pass some hills when on the train.”

Miss Boyes was impressed by how good our drawings were and all of the different types of lines which we used.

We have used google maps this week to show Trex different places he could visit in Livingston. We said that he could visit the train station to see what the train looks like, this discussion led us to the idea of  Trex  getting the train to Edinburgh. We used google maps to show Trex Edinburgh Castle, The Zoo and The Royal Botanic garden. We think Trex would learn lots if he visited these places and we thought about what he would learn when there.

We ended this lesson by asking Miss Boyes how Trex would find out the price of the train so we visited the Scotrail website.

Have a lovely weekend, from Miss Boyes and P1B
