P1D News Update

We have had a wonderful end to a busy week in P1D. Thank you to everyone who came along to our castle banquet today. Have a look on our class twitter page for lots of pictures of the event @mrsd_stnps

Phonics

We have had a revision week of the sounds we have been learning this week in phonics. We have focusing on the digraph sounds we have learned. We know that a digraph is 2 letters which go together to make 1 sound. Here are the songs for these sounds we have been learning:

Next week, we are going to be learning another digraph the ‘wh’ sound as well as the ‘j’ sound. We will be doing a lots of work on the difference between ‘w’ and ‘wh’ and ‘j’ and ‘i’. Please talk to us about this at home.

Numeracy

We have been continuing to learn about subtraction in our numeracy lessons. We have been working hard using the vocabulary of before, after, more and less to help with our mental subtraction skills. We have been completing written subtraction number stories to put our use of these skills into practise. Here are some games to play at home to help you use these skills further:

Topic

Our castle topic has came to an end now and Mrs Davenport is so impressed with how much we have learned during this topic. Next week is British Science Week and we will be beginning a science topic which will take us up to the Easter holidays. Our new topic is all about Space.

There is no pupil voice this week as today we were too busy preparing for our banquet! Don’t forget to look on twitter for lots of photos and thanks again for coming along this morning.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Davenport and P1D.
