P1D Update

We have had a busy week this week – a highlight has definitely been learning more about castles and adding more features to the castle in our classroom.

Literacy

We are continuing to consolidate our knowledge of the ai and oa sounds. We will be learning more sounds next week. We have used this game in literacy this week to extend our learning:

We also visited the local library where we have started to explore non-fiction books and their features. We have been successfully using an index page to find out information about castles.

Numeracy

We are continuing to learn about numeracy. We enjoyed singing along to this song:

This helps us with our mental subtraction strategies of counting back. It would be great if you could practise counting back from 10 or 20 (as a challenge) at home.

We used this game to enhance our learning this week:

Freya: I liked the Elmer colouring in too.

Olivier: I liked learning about the jester. He lives in the castle.

Mara: I liked colouring in a castle. I had to make sure I had to stay in the lines.
