This week in literacy P.1 had a revision week with all the sounds they have learned so far. They practised writing and making cvc words with the magnetic boards.
In numeracy P.1 used their workbook to count and write amounts. They used the numicon to find different ways to make amounts such as a four and one will make five and so will a three and a two. They practised forming the numbers particularly 2 and 5.
As part of black history month P.1 have had a focus on a book called ’Handa’s Surprise’ by Eileen Browne. The children enjoyed the story and could see and touch some of the fruit from the story. They used some excellent vocabulary to described how it felt, ’spiky’, ’rough’, ’smooth’, ’hard’, ’bumpy’, ’jaggy’. Some of the children took the opportunity to draw some of the fruit. They were also able to recall the story using a backdrop and figures and animal puppets from the story.
