Apologies for the lack of photos this week – we have been so busy and forgot to take any!
Literacy: This week we have been working on the ‘oi’ sound in phonics. We have completed lots of fun activities to help us learn this sound. We even learned that this sound can be made using the letters ‘oy’ too. Mrs Scott taught us this chant to help us: “O I in the middle, O Y at the end.” We are very excited to have Mrs Scott in our class on a Tuesday to teach us phonics and reading with Miss Meechan. We have participated in a few guided reading lessons this week too where we are working really hard on our comprehension and understanding of the story which we read.
Maths: We are taken a wee break from numeracy and looking at mathematical concepts. Our topic this week was time. We had to think about our daily routines, days of the week and months of the year. We even worked on some collecting and displaying information. We found out when everyone in the classes birthday was and created a bar graph showing this. Have a look for this in our maths jotter.
Topic: We are continuing with our novel study topic “The Gruffalo”. This week we started to create our own Gruffalo books during our play: plan, do review session. We have also started to learn about rhyming words which feature in the Gruffalo. We played a board game called “Rhyme Robber” to help us with this. Well done to Kaimee and Kerr who have already won at this game.
Next week we are going to be learning the ‘ou’ sound and learn about telling the time (o’clock). The only homework we will have next week is reading books due to the short week. Homework will continue to as normal from the following week.
