Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

In writing this week we have been using our sounds to make words.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We used pictures as a stimulus for our writing; these pictures allowed us to use lots of the sounds that we know so far.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had to choose one of the pictures about the cat to write about.<\/p>\n

Some of us chose to write about a cat on a mat and some of us chose to write about a cat who had a cap.<\/p>\n

We are really trying to have a go and have been talking about important things to remember when writing- capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week in phonics we have been learning the \u2018a\u2019 sound and the \u2018t\u2019 sound.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Connor- To say the \u2018a\u2019 sound you need to open your mouth wide.<\/p>\n

Can you practise saying this sound at home or forming it with some loose parts?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sophie- \u201cThis sound is black.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucy- \u201cIt is black because you make a tunnel with your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isla- \u201cThe vowel house is at the end of the tunnel and the \u2018a\u2019 sound lives in the basement.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lily- \u201cWhen you say the \u2018t\u2019 sound you can feel it at the tip of your tongue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis- \u201cThe \u2018t\u2019 sound is blue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Syzmon- \u201cIt is a blue sound because your tongue has 2 blue veins\u201d.<\/p>\n

Maths<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week was maths week and we have completed lots of activities.<\/p>\n

We have been using our loose parts to measure objects in the classroom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have been using the language- largest, smallest, larger and smaller when building houses with our blocks. We worked as a team to build the houses. We measured our structures.<\/p>\n

We used the language empty, full and half full when measuring water into bottles.<\/p>\n

We had to colour the correct amount on the picture of the cups to show Miss Boyes our understanding.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We loved using this game because it let us use all of the words we have learned to use when measuring.<\/p>\n

Numeracy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been counting total amounts and asking our friends to find 5 shells, 3 pebbles or 7 pegs in the loose parts tray.<\/p>\n

We have also been using our loose parts to form our numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Science this week we have been learning how to predict and investigate ways to make sounds louder and quieter. We have been finding out where sounds come from.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We closed our eyes and listened carefully to the sounds around us.<\/p>\n

Miss Boyes asked us questions to encourage our thinking-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Were they loud or quiet sounds? Were they high or low sounds? How often did you hear the sound?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We played with the musical instruments and played an imitation game, in which Miss Boyes drummed a different rhythm each time, and then we had to copy it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you listen for sounds at home, what do you hear?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have discussed the GIRFEC theme safe. We spoke about how to stay safe at school and at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We played an interactive game with Miss Boyes (http:\/\/www.switchedonkids.org.uk\/electrical-safety-in-your-home)<\/p>\n

where we had to find all of the things that weren\u2019t safe with the electricity in a house.<\/p>\n

We spoke about how to keep safe around electrical items and wrote all of our thoughts in our talking book.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also linked it to our 3 key words of our class charter, ready, respectful and safe and discussed why it\u2019s so important.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wishing you all a lovely weekend, looking forward to having you back on Wednesday!<\/p>\n
