Happy New Year from P1B!

Happy New Year everyone, we hope you all had a lovely festive break!

We have been busy learning lots on our return to school!

This week in phonics we have been learning to blend the ee and oo sounds with the set 2 sounds that we learned last term.

We have also been learning to blend the l sound with ee and oo this week.

Here is the song for the l sound.

Emilie- We practised our formation in the glitter trays this week.

Lily- We have been making words on the magnetic boards. I made the word peel.

Also this week we have been sorting sentences that were all jumbled up. We had to put the words into the correct order so that the sentence made sense. This motivated some children in our class to try to write their own sentences on whiteboards.

Connor- Miss Boyes was very impressed with the sentences we wrote.

There are clues to look out for when we sort the words for the sentences.

Adam- “Look for the word with the capital letter because it will go at the beginning.”

Joshua-“Look for the full stop because this will go at the end of the sentence.”

 

Khyla- On Thursday morning there were slimy, green, glittery alien footprints on the floor In our toy shop in front of the till.

Emilie We thought it was  alien footprints because Miss Boyes got sent a picture of a dancing alien and a moving spaceship.

Lucy- So for writing this week we decided it was a good idea to write instructions for the Alien to tell it how to buy a toy at our toy shop.

Liam- The instructions need to be in the correct order.

The mighty writer board helped us with the order of our instructions and we even learned how to use super openers.

Adam-Finally

Liam- Next

Lucy- First

Our instructions were great and we are hoping the Alien will be able to buy the toy he wants.

Khyla- We were learning about money this week.

Julian- We were learning to save money.

At the tuff tray our partner had to show us a picture of a pig with an amount on it. We had to then choose the correct coins to make that amount and put them in the piggy bank.

Sophie- We were counting the money.

We were using our toy shop role play area to count coins to buy toys. We also made and attached prices labels and made a sign for the shop.

Emileigh-Rose- We sorted money.

All of Miss Boyes coins were mixed up, so we have been sorting them.

Courtney- I liked playing at the shop and using money to buy toys.

Here are some games which can be played at home if we wish. Follow the links below.

We discussed our school values and vision. We reflected on what we could do to be like Christ.

We also thought of values that we think reflect our class.

We chose to draw the values on jigsaw pieces. We drew pictures to represent happiness, fun, respect, kindness, pupil voice and love.

 

We completed an emotion works activity this week. We spoke about the feeling of being scared because we had listened to the story “The Rabbit Who was Afraid of the Dark.”

We decided that the trigger for the rabbits emotion was the dark.

The body sensation was shaking.

The emotion words we thought of were-scared, frightened, and terrified and we also thought about relief and happiness when the Rabbit saw Percy.

The emotion behaviours were running, hiding and  jumping.

We drew pictures and even tried to write the words under each cog. We were very good at reflecting on the characters feelings and we thought about what might make it feel better too.

 

We have started our gymnastics block in PE and everyone has been raving about us!

Mr McCurdy and Mrs Purdie couldn’t wait to share with Miss Boyes how amazing they thought we were at our rolls this week. We have been doing a pencil roll, egg roll and forward rolls.

 

Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P1B!
