Primary 1B

Wow, we can’t believe it’s Friday already!

Literacy

This week in literacy we have learned 2 new sounds, the s sound and the p sound.

 

The s sound is light blue because it is a quiet sound which you feel at the tip of your tongue.

S is a stretchy sound, can you feel it sizzling?

 

The P sound is Pink because it is a quiet sound which we make with our lips.

Put one finger in front of your lips

Pretend that it is a candle.

Say p quietly .

 

Can you feel the air that could blow out the flame on the  candle?

We have been singing our songs to learn our sounds.

After painting our pictures of a dinosaur last week, we followed on from this by making our dinosaur with clay. We used the iPads to record stories with our dinosaurs. In our writing jotters we draw a picture of our dinosaur and then wrote about what it looked like. We used great describing words. We are trying to use the sounds that we know in our writing and have been reading our writing to Miss Boyes.

 

Numeracy

We have been learning about the numbers 8 and 9. We have been learning how to write the numbers using the rhymes.

8- Draw a ‘S’ and close the gate, now I’ve made the number 8.

9- Draw a circle and add a line, now I’ve made the number 9.

It’s important to remember not to lift our pencil for the number 9. Sometimes we are going the wrong way with our pencil and it is starting to look like a p.

In number talks this week we have been investigating different dot patterns. We have been explaining to Miss Boyes what we see and how we see it.

During a number talks we put our fist on tummies to show we are still thinking, we put 1 thumb up if we have a strategy.

You could practise talking about dot patterns at home. Miss Boyes will include some examples in our homework folder in case we want to practise.

 

 

Maths

We have been learning to how to measure objects and describe their weight using the words heavy or light and heaviest and lightest.

 

Can you use this language at home?

 

 

This week Harry from the story “Harry and the Dinosaurs” sent Miss Boyes an email. Miss Boyes told us what an email was and showed this to us on the laptop. Harry said that he has a special mission for us to look after his dinosaurs and teach them lots of new things. We made a map of what we want to teach the dinosaurs and what we want to learn from/about them.

 

Trex is Harry’s favourite Dinosaur, he wants to learn about how to be a great P1 (just like us) and all about our local area. If you have anything you would like to tell Trex leave a message and we will read it to him.

 

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