For literacy this week we have started our PM writing programme of work.\u00a0 This programme helps us focus on different types of genres and purposes for writing.\u00a0 The genre we have looked at this week is a recount.\u00a0 We read a recount by a little boy who had helped his mum in the house with some jobs.\u00a0 This made us think about a time that we have helped someone and what we did to help them.\u00a0 We have written a plan which includes a title, orientation, sequence of events and a personal comment.\u00a0 Next week we are going to turn our plan into a full recount.\u00a0 We have also focused on the spelling pattern _ay.\u00a0 This makes the same sound as -ai-, so we learned that ay usually comes at the end of a word (there are always exceptions such as crayon) and ai in the middle of a word.\u00a0 Watch this little teaching video, it gives us some good advice about adding tails onto words such as _ing or _ed or _ er, this is something we will be looking at in more depth over the course of P2.\u00a0 For our reading our comprehension work was based on finding the title, author and blurb on the book.\u00a0 Keep practising this at home everytime you are reading together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nessy Spelling Strategy | When To Use ai ay | Vowel Digraphs | Learn to Spell\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BGrIyCT7nK0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

mat, map, cat, cap, sit, sip.\u00a0 For writing this week the children were thinking of something or someone who might be sitting on a mat and they wrote a short story and drew a picture of it.<\/p>\n<p>P2 &#8211; In Numeracy for our learning about numbers to 100 we have been looking at counting backwards as well as identifying the largest\/biggest number and the smallest number.\u00a0 The children learned a dice game where you make one of the dice the <em>tens die<\/em> and the other the <em>units (ones) die.<\/em>\u00a0 When you roll them you put the two digits side by side to make a two digit number, your opponent then repeats this and whoever gets the largest number wins a point (or takes a counter).\u00a0 Have a go at this game at home.\u00a0 For number talks we have been looking at dot patterns, the children are given some dots to count and we are trying to find efficient ways to count them.\u00a0 They have realised that it can be quicker and easier to not lose count if you group them, however you have to be able to add the groups together as you go, that is the tricky part.\u00a0 Have a go at this number talks;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2019\/10\/Presentation1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21662 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2019\/10\/Presentation1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>P1 &#8211;
