P1B

Wow, what a busy week it has been in Primary 1B!

Literacy

 

We have learned 2 new sounds this week.

First we will tell you about the m sound.

This sound is made by pressing your two lips together and holding them. This sound is red because we make it with our lips.

It is a long and stretchy sound…mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

The second sound we learned this week was c. The c sound is yellow because we use the back of our mouth to say this sound and we need a yellow torch light to see how the sound is made at the back of our mouths. When we shine the torch we can see that the back of the tongue lifts, ‘scraping’ the back of the mouth when we say the sound.  This is a short, quiet, bouncy sound.

 

We love singing our jolly phonics songs to help us remember how to say our sounds.

Follow the links below to the songs.

Numeracy and Maths

 

We have been learning about the numbers 5, 6 and 7.

Here are the rhymes which we use to remember how to form these numbers.

Number 6 is- Bend down low to pick up sticks, now I’ve made the number 6.

Number 7- Across the Sky and down from Heaven. Now I’ve made the number seven.

 

We have also been ordering the numbers to 5 and had to cut and stick the numbers into the correct order in our maths jotter.

We have been using this game to practise our ordering skills.

We have been learning how to count backwards from 10 using this song.

We would like to sing it to you at home.

 

In measure this week we have been learning the language of Largest, smallest, larger and smaller.

Miss Boyes showed us pictures of different sized dinosaurs, she asked us to circle the largest or the smallest.
Using the dinosaur toys we put them in order from the smallest dinosaur to the largest and largest to the smallest.

To show our understanding we cut three houses out and stuck them into our maths jotter in order from largest to smallest.

Can you find items at home and measure them?

This week we had special visitors, Harry’s Bucketful of Dinosaurs came to visit us and they brought Trex who is the leader of their pack.

We have decided that it would be a good idea to teach Trex and the dinosaurs all about St. Ninian’s and the local area.

 

So we took them on a tour of our school, to meet all of the teachers. We have also created a small world play area of our Local environment with our loose parts.

 

We wanted to create our own dinosaurs, so this week we painted a design for our dinosaur. We have dinosaurs with spots, stripes and spikes.

 

We have been practising changing for PE. We are learning how to undo our buttons and then button our shirts back up after PE. We have been finding this tricky but we will continue to practise so that we can be super quick when getting ready.

 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, from Miss Boyes and P1B
